Description
AN INCREDIBLY RARE AND FULLY SIGNED AUTHENTIC POSTER FROM 1971.
IMPORTANT FIND FROM THE 2OTH CENTURY'S MOST INFLUENTIAL PROG ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD.
THIS WAS BOUGHT FROM A LADY THAT WAS SELLING HER RECENTLY DECEASED FATHER'S RECORD COLLECTION. THE POSTER WAS FOUND IN A COPY OF COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING. AFTER SOME ENQUIRIES THE MOTHER OF THE THE LADY SAID THAT SHE REMEMBERED HER HUSBAND OBTAINING THE SIGNATURES AT A GIG IN CROYDON ABOUT THE YEAR IN QUESTION. AFTER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS KING CRIMSON PLAYED AT THE FAIRFIELD HALL IN CROYDON ON SUNDAY MAY 3OTH 1971. THIS WAS THE 1ST OR 2ND GIG WITH THE NEW LINE UP WHICH WAS PROMOTING THE NEWLY RELEASED LIZARD LP.
ADDITIONALLY , THE POSTER HAS ALSO BEEN SIGNED BY GREG LAKE AND ONE OTHER .....FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T FIND OUT WHO THIS MYSTERY SIGNATURE IS SIGNED BY. LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE JOHN G FRUUT???? I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR SOME INFO ON THIS ONE. GREG LAKE WASN'T A MEMBER OF THE BAND AT THIS TIME, PERHAPS HE WAS BACKSTAGE WHEN THIS WAS SIGNED??
THE OTHER SIGNATURES WHICH ARE ALL GROUPED TOGETHER ON ONE SEGMENT / QUARTER OF THE POSTER ARE; ROBERT FRIPP ( SIGNED SIMPLY FRIPP ), PETE SINFIELD , BOZ BURRELL , IAN WALLACE AND MEL COLLINS.
I HAVE NO DOUBT OF THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS ITEM AS EVERYTHING SEEMED SO RIGHT WITH THE SELLER, BUT OBVIOUSLY I HAVE NO EVIDENCE OR CERTIFICATE SO LIKE ME, YOU'LL BE GOING ON INSTINCT ALONE.
THE POSTER ITSELF MEASURES APPROX 24 INCHES BY 16 INCHES AND IS IN REASONABLE CONDITION BUT HAS HOLES WHERE WAS ONCE PINNED UP.
TOTAL MAGIC FOR THE KING CRIMSON COLLECTOR!!
STARTING AT WHAT I THINK IS A LOW PRICE FOR THIS UNIQUE ITEM
