Description

 Original 1st printing 4&3/8 x 7&1/8" postcard-backed (red Grande Ballroom "Place Stamp Here" imprint) concert handbill for the Jimi Hendrix Experience appearing with the Soft Machine, MC5 and the Rationals at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, MI on 2/23/1968.

 Art by Gary Grimshaw, image is # 68 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series (OPC-C in the Eric King guide) and is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 299 (plate 3.139). 

 Medium-thin flat vellum stock postcard is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a tiny pressure indentation in the left center margin and a couple of tiny corner-tip bumps, it is an absolutely STUNNING example of this iconic early-'68 Hendrix concert artifact from Michigan.

 *Additionally, this example has been rubber-stamped on the reverse, "FLAGG BROS. #221 F-27 NORTHLAND CENTER, SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN", presumably the distribution source for this example. ONLY one I have ever seen with this stamp on the reverse.
