Original 1st printing 17 x 24" concert poster for an the Ann Arbor Blues Recital, held at Hill Auditorium on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on 7/24/1971. Art by Gary Grimshaw, acts listed include: the Mississippi Delta Blues Band with Houston Strackhouse, Sonny Boy Blake and Joe Willy Wilkins, along with Betty Fikes and Mighty Joe Young and His Chicago Blues Band. Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in good (B) condition; there is a 1" tear in the left center margin, a moderate amount of edge/corner wear (creasing/rounded corners in the bottom left/right), a bit of moisture wear and a number of tiny edge tears/thin creases around the outer margin area, a few well-placed semi-soft bends and thin stress creases hiding within the image area, a bit of fading to the red pass of ink, a few light surface scuffs and a series of small round surface stains just to the left of the artist lineup, otherwise fine. HIGHLY uncommon 1971 Grimshaw poster from a small college-sponsored benefit (*for the International Black Appeal).
