Original 1st printing 4&1/8 x 7&5/8" blank-reverse concert handbill/card for Deep Purple appearing on 11/1-3/1968 and the Frost appearing with the Pack on 10/31/1968 (Free Halloween Dance), all shows held at the Grande Ballroom in Cleveland, OH. (*venue was/is still known as the Agora Ballroom) Art by Carl Lundgren, Donnie Dope and Mardi Forrester, image is # 114 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series (the first of two images from Cleveland). Medium-thin flat index card stock handbill is in ultra-sharp mint/near mint (A/A-) condition; a KILLER example of this semi-oddball item from Russ Gibb's short-lived Grande Cleveland outpost. Really spooky "Phantom of the Opera" image on this one!
