Original 1st printing 19&1/4 x 30&1/4" boxing-style poster for the Who appearing at the Top Rank Suite ("A Fillmore North Production") in Sunderland, England on 5/7/1971. Design by A.A. Fletcher & Son, Ltd., extra-thin vellum "fly posting" (or "onion skin") stock letterpress poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; a trio of vertical edge tears along along the bottom margin (ranging in size from about 1" to about 3&1/2", each sealed on the reverse), a light to moderate amount of moisture warping to the paper, light toning, a piece of thin mounting tape on the reverse top margin, plus there are a series of tiny edge tears that appear to have been professionally sealed, but overall the piece looks pretty sharp, especially considering the fragility of the paper stock. Great-looking boxing-style Who poster from an early-'70's "stealth" show at a tiny venue (these posters were put up only one day in advance of the show).
