Description

Original 1st printing 14 x 18" concert/event poster for "The Great South Coast Bankholiday Pop Festivity", otherwise known as the first Isle of Wight Festival, held at Hell Field, on Ford Farm (near Godshill) on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England from 8/31-9/1/1968.

 Bands/acts listed include: Jefferson Airplane, the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the Move, Pretty Things, Tyrannosaurus Rex (with Marc Bolan), Plastic Penny, Orange Bicycle, the Mirage, Blonde on Blonde, Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation and Fairport Convention (with Richard Thompson) along with MC John Peel.

 Design by Dave Roe, medium flat index stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there is a fair amount of pronounced creasing along the upper right margin, along with tiny pin holes in all four corners (with a tiny drag tear in the lower right corner), a bit of light pencil scratch and a thin diagonal bend in the lower right corner, a bit of mild paper toning, a few light pin-prick age spots/tiny stress bends here and there and a couple of small stains on the reverse side, otherwise OK.

 This is the VERY first example of the inaugural '68 event poster that I have ever seen, it does not turn up very frequently at all. This poster also marks the first-ever British performances by Jefferson Airplane.
