Original 1st printing 12&5/8 x 22&1/2" (appx.- right edge is irregular/hand-cut) double-sided concert poster for the Charlatans appearing with Valley Fever at the Marigold Ballroom in Fresno, CA from 3/15-16/1968. Art by Terre', image (uncut sheet) is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 171 (plate 2.129). (reverse side is a test print/press wipe featuring part of a Zodiac design by Terre') Medium-thin flat textured index stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there is a fairly prominent diagonal roll bend/soft crease in the upper left corner (about 7-8") long, along with a few small surface stains, a series of soft to semi-pronounced handling dings, a few stray horizontal/diagonal bends traversing the lower 1/3rd of the poster, a 2-3" section of fraying/wear in the right center margin and a few tiny edge dings/nicks, otherwise fine... it still displays quite nicely, especially with theold-west-style "Wanted"-poster design. As an added bonus, this example has been SIGNED in pencil by Charlatans lead singer George Hunter (this poster comes right from George's personal collection) along with singer/drummer/guitarist Dan Hicks. VERY cool-looking Charlatans item from the AOR, signed by two of the band members!!! UNIQUE!
