A very rare original concert poster advertising the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival, in unused mint condition. Monterey Pop’ was arguably the most important music festival ever, featuring the first US appearance of Jimi Hendrix, as well as Janis Joplin with Big Brother, the Grateful Dead, Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, and so many more. This foil poster, designed by Tom Wilkes, is extremely delicate and almost never found in such exceptional condition. By far the best example we’ve seen. This is the smaller of two identical Monterey posters produced. 12 1/4″ x 21 3/8″. With Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
