SOME NICE TEXAS POSTERS

South by Southwest Music Festival (SXSW), 3/15-18/1990, Austin, TX, 11" x 16" on thin glossy stock, black, purple, and light green with stylized image of SXSW arrow logo and typeset lettering. This is a fairly historic poster for a very early incarnation of this now legendary festival which started in 1987, back when it was just beginning to expand into the mega-event it has become today. Performers aren't all listed but performers are listed as including Joe "King" Carrasco (Austin TX), Vic Chesnutt (Athens GA), Del-Lords (New York NY), Big Head Todd & the Monsters (Denver CO), Let's Active (Winston Salem NC), Trip Shakespeare (Minneapolis MN), Jon Ims (Denver CO), Blake Babies (Boston MA), Ultramagnetic MC's (New York NY), Def IV (Houston TX), Ed Hall (Austin TX), The Grey Ghost (Austin TX), and Townes Van Zandt (Nashville TN), with Kinky Friedman as the keynote speaker. Nice item for collectors of SXSW memorabilia, nice NM condition $60.

Antone's 21st Anniversary, 7/10-2-/1996, Antone's, Austin, TX; featuring a whole lot of Texas performers including Angela Strehli, Lou Ann Barton, CJ Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, Hubert Sumlin, Guy Forsyth, Lazy Lester, Snooky Prior, etc....this list goes on and on! This somewhat oversize 19" x 24" poster by Austin artist Danny Garrett is orange and blue on thin white paper and features a great portrait of STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN; for an illustration, click here. Great poster; this copy unfortunately suffers from significant edge damage, which shows up clearly in the illustration; the good news, however, is that all this damage is in the margins, so this poster could be matted and framed so that the damage doesn't show, and would make a great wall display. Asking $70, would be a good deal more if this poster was in better condition. Good deal for someone who wants to put a cool image on the wall.

Savoy Brown, Atomic Rooster, Chicken Shack, 11/8/1971, Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, TX; very attractive and scarce poster by Austin artist Bill Narum. Size approx 17.5" x 22.5" on fairly thin off-white stock, pink background with dark, purple-blue border, nice background of concentric circles with stars in the center, and a drawing of a woman in the center, sort of 40s cartoon style, dangling a cigarette with a quotation baloon saying "wang dang doodle." Very nicely done. Poster is basically NM but for a very teeny worn spot in the lower LH corner, far outside the image where a little corner paper has worn away. Hardly noticeable at all and very unobtrusive, would be invisible if framed. Nice poster, asking $325.

Greezy Wheels, Too Smooth, 10/31-11/1, Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, TX; 11 x 17 image by Jim Franklin with pale orange background; B & W center image with cross-hatched drawing of orange pumpkin carved with the image of an armadillo; cool poster, NM $60.

Soap Creek monthly calendar poster, 8/80, by Austin artist Kerry Awn, black on pale bluish paper with a vintage Star Wars-inspired image of a bearded Darth Vader, R2D2, and C3P0 playing an electric guitar (!) and the words "Soap Creek Strikes Back" in Star Wars-inspired lettering; if memory serves this was around the time of the release of "The Empire Strikes Back" so it is kind of a contemporary Star Wars item as well as being a rock poster. Artists listed includer the Cobras, Sir Douglas Quintet, Alvin Crow and others. Poster is VG+ with minor storage wear in the corners and a wee bit of margin discoloration, not a big deal. Asking $75.

Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), 7/27/1978, Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, TX, 11.5" x 17.5" nice black and dark yellow image by Guy Juke with great line drawing of Bobby Weir looking handsome and pensive, very nice and detailed, with nice lettering in a faintly art-deco style, not sure exactly how to describe it, very nice vintage portrait of Weir is the cool thing.

King Pins, 12/12 & 12/19/1981, Spellman's, Austin, TX; 11" x 14.75", black on cream colored paper. This is a real obscure vintage Austin item for an obscure band at an obscure pub, but I picked up because it is pretty cool looking. Features sort of a comic strip styl lettering and a drawing of a blues guy playing electric guitar, with the caption "Good Lawd, The King Pins, Rockin' Blues," and a blank panel with "see them now" at the top and tastefully hand lettered dates (sharpie) for the gigs noted above. This is an item for an Austin collector or somebody who's a fan of obscure blues stuff I didn't have much luck researching these guys but maybe someone else can tell me about them. Condition solid VG+; clean and no pinholes but has one minor ding in the lower RH corner about 1" above the corner. Interesting Texas item, $25.

Steel Pulse, The Killer Bees, 10/4/1985, Austin Opera House, Austin, TX, 11" x 17" green and black on yellow poster stock with black block lettering and green photo of the band against a black background; nice art by Jagmo and SIGNED by him in silver ink, NM $70.

This is only a partial listing, there are a LOT more artists, including a lot of them from Texas; check the internet for a complete list of artists who actually played this event (not sure all of them did, but the vast majority of those listed appear to have actually played there). Anyway, here's a VG+ copy of this important poster; single tack hole top & bottom center; otherwise clean. $395.

Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Ruth Brown, The Clovers, Chuck Jackson, Bonnie Raitt, mc Margot Kidder, 10/14-15/1988, Austin Opera House, Austin, TX; "R & B Benefit Concert," benefit for the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. very large approx 25" x 29 " B & W poster with nice image of a dancing woman in an old style country or almost flamenco dress, by Julie Speed, signed by the artist, very nice Stevie Ray Vaughn item with classic Austin lineup from the peak of his career. NM $325.

John Fogerty, 8/10/2004, Austin City Limits, KLRU Studio 6A, Austin, TX; fabulous limited edition poster commemorating the 30th anniversary of this long running TV show; approx. 15" x 24." Silkscreened on thick stock brilliant yellow to red split fountain center background; center image of a skeleton with a sombrero playing a guitar, purple rays spread out to an ornate border. Limited edition signed and numbered by the artist, Brian Salvador Curley, this poster is numbered 36/150 and is in beautiful NM condition, $175.00.

The Stooges, Spoon, Kings of Leon, Paolo Nutini, A Fine Frenzy, 3/17/2007, Stubbs, Austin, TX (SXSW 2007). Although fairly recent, this poster is really cool and one of the best Iggy posters I've seen, ever. 15" x 20" on thick cardboard stock, background has small black and red circular bands radiating from the center, with a brown and black image of Iggy taken from a photo; in the front is what looks like a spiked dog collar dangling from a chain, with the lettering in red in the center. Asking $200; great item for framing.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, 4/15/1984, Austin Opera House; Austin, TX; 11" x 17" poster; black and brown on aged-looking cream stock, with nice image of SRC playing guitar; for an illustration, click here. CAVEAT EMPTOR: As best I can determine, this appears to be a fantasy poster for a real Austin gig, created by the artist after the fact. The artist apparently sells this and other similar fantasy posters on etsy. I purchased 2 of them in a large accumulation of Texas stuff and upon finding that they are not vintage originals, I am posting them here at $25 each, the same price they were offered at by the artist in 2017. They'd look good framed on a wall, but are not to be confused with regular vintage SRV gig posters (*)

Warner's Sound Music Event, SXSW 2012, featuring Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Kimbra, ED SHEERAN, Punch Bros, 3/14/2012, La Zona Rosa, Austin, TX; 12" x 16" on thin glossy paper with a yellow background photo of a long haired guy in a long sleeved plaid shirt and reverse-color white lettering; I went to this show and in retrospect it was quite a lineup, mixing the old and the new. It was also one of the loudest gigs I've ever attended, in part because I was standing almost up against the stage. This is a typical SXSW wall poster, posted the day before the gig and quickly ripped down or covered over thereafter by the next day's posters, but fortunately I had the foresight to take down a couple of these (and clean the tape off of them later). Offering this one for sale for $60, nice NM- copy with a story behind it.

MISCELLANEOUS OUT OF STATE POSTERS

MC5, Chuck Berry, Sun Ra, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Johnny Winter, Stooges, Terry Reid, Amboy Dukes, Rationals, James Gang, numerous others, 5/30-31/1969, Michigan State Fairgrounds, "Detroit Rock & Roll Revival" poster by Gary Grimshaw; 17" x 22" poster by the late Gary Grimshaw; one of Gary's real masterpieces with color shading and lettering and a center design reminiscent of Rick Griffin's Aoxomoxoa poster. For illustration, see The Art of Rock, pl. 3.138. This copy grades about VG; no pinholes but several creases from careless rolling and a 2" tear that someone tried to fix with some tape on the reverse side, not too noticeable. Looks better than the description makes it sound; colors are strong and bold and this copy would frame up very nicely. An uncommon poster and very attractive, asking $375.

Turner Falls Pop Festival, 8/879/1970, Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma, listing performers including The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Mason Proffit, Bloodrock, Pacific Gas & Electric, Sugarloaf, Others; 14.5" x 22" B & W on thick cardboard stock, like a boxing style poster. Big hand flashing the peace sign at the lower corner, with the words "2 days of Peace and Music" (yes, this was shortly after Woodstock....). Another one I keep thinking was in the AOR but I can't find it now. Very rare and interesting poster because this festival was cancelled and never happened. There's an interesting article on it that I found online. Meanwhile, here's a very rare poster, clean except for minor paper age and a 1" by one-half inch or so missing piece of board in the diagonal corner outside the image. Asking $400 for this, probably aren't many of these still left around.

Portland Zoo, Turtle Soup, Nazz-Are, ?/16-17/1968, Beaver Hall, Portland, OR; great whimsical 16.5" x 21.5" (approx.) color poster by Kelley featuring a smiling rendering of Donald Duck; for illustration, see The Art of Rock, pl 3.111. This is a personal favorite and is quite a scarce poster; offering here the first extra copy I have had available in many years. Overall condition restored to about VG/VG+; still a little noticeable wear but a decent copy that would frame up very nicely; for an image of the front of this poster, click here, and for the reverse side click here. Can supply more detailed images if necessary. Asking $450 (price reduced).

Little Nolan and the Antoin Bros., (not sure if this is one band or two), 6/21-22/1969, Beaver Hall, Portland, OR, very nice poster by prominent Portland artist Cathy Weinstein, 14" x 21" blue, light purple, and black poster on medium thick poster stock with very nice psychedelic lettering and a border reminiscent of Wes Wilson's early swirling work. Not well known, probably because the performers are obscure, but a very attractive poster nevertheless; for an image of the front of this poster, click here. Scarce poster. Nice VG+ copy, insignificant pinholes in the margin, otherwise clean. $375.00

Country Joe & the Fish, Painted Ship, United Empire Loyalists, Fantastic Sensations, 2/16- 18/1978, The Afterthought, Vancouver, BC; nice 15" x 20" black and yellow poster by Bob Masse with portrait drawings of Country Joe & the Fish; very nice psychedelic lettering in the West Wilson/Mouse style. This is another one I keep thinking was reproduced in The Art of Rock, but I can't find it so I must be mistaken. In any case, it is a very nice example of Masse's work; a few of these have turned up over the years, condition NM-, asking $175.00.

Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Graham Central Station, Hank Crawford, 3/8/1974; Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, 3/16/1974; Eagles, 3/22/1974, Paramount Northwest, Portland, OK; nice cardboard multi-show poster with photo of the inside of the venue and typeset block lettering on a light green background; for an image of this poster, click here. I am told that among other things, this was the Eagles' final tour. Very nice NM copy, $325.

Movie Poster, "Go Go Mania," 1965, American International Pictures (AIP), large format movie poster for this music-oriented movie featuring The Beatles, Spencer Davis Group, Matt Monro, The Animals, Herman's Hermits, The Rockin' Berries, The Four Pennies, The Nashville Teens, The Fourmost, The Honeycombs, Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, Peter and Gordon, Billie Davis Sounds Incorporated, and Tommy Quickly and the San Remo Four....whew!!! "The International Beat That's Rockin' the World." Top shows views of four mop-top kids from the eyes up, reverse white on black lettering for the groups, go-go girls at the sides and bottoms. Neat period piece. Folded in eighths for distribution but otherwise in good shape, VG+ or so overall. Would look great framed for a room with a British Invasion or 60's hipster theme. $100.

Blue Cheer, Clear Light, 4/13/1968, Salt Lake Coliseum; Salt Lake City, Utah; large 22" x 28" blue and silver gray poster with sort of an irregular blue water color like lettering against a silver gray background, with a tiny pink dayglo dot at the far right with some of the show information. Somewhat unusual art, atypical for the period, fairly psychedelic but I have never personally been wild about this particular poster. These turn up from time to time; this one is VG+/NM-; minor corner creasing and edge wear but clean and presentable overall, asking $125; second coppy, very nice NM-, $165. (*)

Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, 11/28/1989, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque, NM; great 19" x 26" silkscreen poster on thick black stock; silver-gray inner border and center lettering in dark blue, with guitars showing what appears to be Native American symbols. Signed and numbered by artist Brian Salvador Curley, #34/100. NM-, a few minor storage wrinkles, not bad overall, asking $225.00. Sad memorial to two of the greatest electric guitarists from two different generations, both sadly departed now.

"Village Women Songwriters" event featuring Karen Bunin, Susan Osborne, Josie Kuhn, and Lucinda Williams; 2/16-18/1979 (most likely), Folk City (formerly Gerdes Folk City), 130 w. 3d St., New York; this is a "tweener" size 8.5" x 14" large handbill/small poster, B & W with drawing of an acoustic guitar at left and portraits of the artists in lower center. For an image of this poster, click here. This item's claim to fame is that it is a very early Lucinda Williams item, back in the days before she became a household name. Nice NM condition with minor age, $60.

Mike Bloomfield, If, Grease Ball Boogie, 9/12/1973, Halifax Forum, Halifax, Nova Scotia; presented by Dalhousie Student Union; 18 x 22; light purple on thin white paper, mostly just typeset lettering with a graphic at top; one horizontal fold across center. Otherwise clean. Unusual venue, $32.00

War with Lee Oskar, Quicksilver Messenger Service, John Mayall, Mahogany Rush, Journey, Buddy Miles and His Earth Rockers, Danny Cox, Gran Max, 7/10/1971(?), -America Fairground, Topeka, Kansas; date assigment is not certain; possibly also 1976 but 1971 seems to fit better with Quicksilver although $8 admission fee is a bit steep for that year. 11"x 17" d lettering on white poster stock mixture of typeset and had lettering; top has drawing of long haired guy with a big hat and a T-Shirt saying "Boogie on it kicking out his very long legs. Good band lineup; unusual venue. 1 copy NM- or so, $48.00.

Supposedly the video of this event, once thought lost, is available via internet sources. This is an 18" x 24" poster, nice scratchboard-type image with white stars on black sky and white instruments, with ribbon lettering spelling out R & BG; typeset lettering at the bottom. Very nice poster for an incredible lineup, NM- $150.

Cold Blood, Stoneground, 6/20-21/1971, Springer's, Portland, OR; 12"x 21.5" design by the late Bruce Weber, arguably his best/most colorful image with collage featuring old-timey image of women and young girls, with the famous photo of Geronimo in the background. This one shows a lot of influence from Randy Tuten's style. These two copies are from the 1989 limited edition second printing of 300 done by Weber and were PERSONALLY SIGNED by Weber "copyright Bruce F. Weber 1971" vertically in the yellow margin. One is a standard trimmed version and the other has a 1/4" white margin around the edge, very nice image, NM- $200 each. (*)

The Band, 11/9/1983, Glenn Miller Ballroom, Boulder, CO; 11.25 x 17.7" advertising poster for what is billed as a "reunion tour" show, with B & W image of the group in the middle and typeset lettering on brown stock.

For illustration of the image, click here. Nice VG+ condition with corner pinholes and slight general age; nice overall. Interesting very early, very rare poster for this jazz/folk artist. Asking $160. This includes charge for flat rate shipping since this will have to be shipped flat rather than rolled in a tube.

Ann Arbor Blues Festival, 20th Anniversary Celebration, 1972-1992, featuring Bonnie Raitt, Archie Shepp, Al Green, Charles Brown, James Cotton, Maria Muldaur, Son Seals, Snooky Pryor, Sonny Rollins, Robert Jr. Lockwood, and many others, 9/11-13/1992, various venues around Ann Arbor, Mich; nice poster by Gary Grimshaw, similar to the posters he did for the first Ann Arbor festivals in the early 1970s, dark blue outer border, orange accent line and purplish iner border, with photos of the best known performers and typeset lettering at the bottom. This copy is NM and is SIGNED in person by the late Gary Grimshaw in silver ink at the bottom. Nice attractive poster and signature, $65.

Eric Clapton/Delaney & Bonnie, circa 1970; generic European Tour poster; large size typical for these posters, featuring old timey photo of Delaney & Bonnie and lettering that looks a little like Randy Tuten.
