Original 1st printing 17 x 22" concert/event poster for the Ash Grove Blues Festival, a series of multi-night engagements held at the Ash Grove in Los Angeles, CA from 9/12-10/19/1969. Design by Reineck, the lineup included: Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee (9/12-21), Chicago All-Stars (9/26-10/5), John Fahey (10/10-12), and Taj Mahal (10/14-19). Extra-thin flat index stock poster is in used (B-) condition; a 1&1/2 x 1&1/2" chunk of paper missing from the lower right corner, a quartet of decent-sized glue residue stains in all four corners, a moderate amount of handling/creasing, several well-placed bends, a minor amount of edge wear... you get the idea, this one has been around the block a few times and was more than likely hastily taken down at the time of the shows. Conditional issues aside, it remains a pretty cool artifact from the legendary Los Angeles nightclub with a really neat design.
