Original 1st printing 5&3/8 x 10&3/4" thin concert handbill (with attached booking slip) for "Christmas on Earth Continued", an all-night show held at the Olympia in London, England on 12/22/1967. Artist unknown/not credited, handbill lists appearances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Eric Burdon & the Animals, the Who (*canceled, replaced by Traffic), the Move (*canceled), Pink Floyd, Keith West & Tomorrow, Graham Bond Organisation, Soft Machine, Sam Gopal Dream, Paper Blitz Tissue, DJ John Peel and Jeffrey Shaw & the Plastic Circus. Extra-thin semi-gloss stock poster is in good (B/B-) condition; there is an approximately 1" diagonal chunk of paper missing from the top right corner tip, along with a few stray light surface stains, a hint of toning/fading, light handling wear, tape pulls on the reverse and a tiny split in the lower right margin, otherwise fine. VERY uncommon to find these with the booking strip at the bottom still attached (most were cut off and sent away for tickets). ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE (and VERY scarce) late-'67 UK event handbill with an unbeatable lineup featuring the best of psychedelic swinging London.
