Description

Original 1st printing 19&1/4" x 30" silkscreen concert poster for Traffic (with Steve Winwood) appearing on 9/24/1967 (their UK debut) and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (featuring future Rolling Stone Mick Taylor) appearing with (Peter Green's) Fleetwood Mac(k) and Long John Baldry on 9/17/1967, both shows held at the Saville Theatre in London, England. 

 Design by Hapshash & the Coloured Coat (Michael English and Nigel Waymouth), image is the second image in Brian Epstein's "Sunday at the Saville" (OAS) series and is featured in the Art of Rock on page 312 (plate 3.188), this version/variant has a blue/purple ink pass, as opposed to the traditional black (as seen in AOR).

Medium to medium-thin flat stock silkscreen poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are a couple of light creases scattered along the top margin, along with a trace of handling wear and a couple of tiny corner-tip bends, otherwise it is an absolutely STUNNING example of this beautiful 1967 Hapshash image.

Unlike the other Saville posters (Hendrix/Floyd, Hendrix/Burdon, Who/Junior Walker), this image wasn't reprinted, making it one of the harder-to-find Savilles.
