Original 1st printing 24 x 35&7/8" Warner Brothers Records promotional poster for "Garcia", the debut solo album by the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia. Designer unknown/not credited (W.B. art department), image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 420 (plate 4.283). Medium glossy stock poster is in good (B to B/B-) condition; a pair of horizontal folds and one vertical machine fold (as issued, folded into 1/6ths) with a bit of wear along the crease lines and a couple of splits at the edges (each under 2"), with the exception of a 2" split in the bottom center margin that leads to a smaller 3/4" tear that goes into "Garcia" (sealed on the reverse with clear tape), plus a few light tiny surface smudges and tiny pin-prick age spots, a number of ultra-soft pinch/handling dings, a trio of tiny 3/4" soft stains just underneath the hand print and a couple of tiny edge tears, otherwise fine. AWESOME-looking early-'70's Garcia promo item! Stream the album HERE; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqauQmyDxjc
