Original 1st printing 4 x 7&1/8" postcard-backed concert handbill for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band appearing with the Rationals and Thyme on 12/21/1967 and Cream appearing with MC5, Billy C. and the Sunshine and Soap on 12/22-23/1967, all shows held at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI. Art by Gary Grimshaw, image ("Ming") is # 59 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series. Medium-thin flat vellum stock card is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a bit of excessive ink smear (a common issue with this card) and a couple of tiny corner bumps, this example can't be beat. One of the all-time COOLEST Grimshaw images from the Grande series.
