Original 1st printing 4 x 7" postcard-backed concert handbill for the Velvet Underground (post-Lou Reed/Sterling Morrison) appearing with Heresy and Jam Band at the Vanity Ballroom in Detroit, MI on 9/3/1971. Art by Wilson, medium-thick flat index card stock handbill is in very good (B/B+) condition; tiny pin/staple holes in the top/bottom center margin, a few tiny chipped areas and a hint of discoloration along the top edge, a few ultra-soft surface smudges and tiny stress bends, a touch of handling and a tiny soft stain on the reverse, otherwise fine. Very uncommon Detroit concert handbill from the Grande Ballroom's "sister" venue across town (both designed by the same architect).
