Original 1st printing 13&7/8 x 21&1/2" concert poster for the MC5 ("Recording Live" for the album that was eventually released as "Kick Out The Jams") at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI from 10/30-31/1968. Art by Matthew with a photo by Leni Sinclair, image is # 113 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series. Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster is in good (B) condition; there are several tack/pin holes in all four corners and in the left/right center margins, a thin line of matte burn/discoloration going around the outer edges of the image border, a 2" tape mark in the lower left corner, a small pull on the "on" of Admission", light handling wear, a few ultra-tiny pin-prick surface stains/smudges and a couple of light pulls/tiny stains on the reverse, otherwise fine. As an added bonus, this lot includes a near mint example of the slightly thicker index stock bootleg/reprint (cropped photo/bottom margin cut) for reference. A REALLY cool-looking (and VERY hard-to-find) ORIGINAL poster from this LEGENDARY 1968 Grande Ballroom show!
