About the Item

ABOUT A large cardboard window card advertising a "Night Beach Party" at historic Carr's Beach in Annapolis, MD on Saturday night, July 25, 1964. The event featured R&B singer Chuck Jackson and his Orchestra, alongside "The Moderneers Band" and vocalist "My Man Dill." Carr's Beach was a legendary mid-century cultural hub and a premier stop on the "Chitlin' Circuit," hosting iconic African American entertainers like Chuck Berry, Lloyd Price, and James Brown during the era of segregation. This poster captures a vibrant piece of American musical and social history, making it a stellar addition for collectors of music memorabilia, Black Americana, or mid-century advertising art. Unusually, this poster features two full-body shots of Jackson, one a photograph of him posing and another one drawn of him performing. CREATOR Made by Globe Poster in Baltimore, with their trademark look. DATE OF MANUFACTURE c.1964. MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES Cardstock Paper, Metal, Acrylic. CONDITION Good condition with moisture stains on the left side, a 1" hole in the upper left corner area and a .5" hole in the upper right (both from nails which held it in place), wear to the edges, and creasing in the bottom center section. Professionally framed. Acrylic. Minor wear on the frame. DIMENSIONS Frame: H 31 in. W 25 in. D 1.25 in., Poster: H 29.5 in. W 21.75 in. HISTORY Jackson charted 23 records on Billboard magazine's R&B singles chart between 1961 and 1980. He never crossed over to mainstream (pop) success, but he made his mark in 1962 with "Any Day Now," his biggest hit and an early composition by new songwriter Burt Bacharach. By reaching #2 in Billboard, Jackson's version surely reached Elvis Presley's ears, and Elvis famously covered the song in 1969 on From Elvis in Memphis, also putting it on the flip side of his #3 hit "In the Ghetto." Three other Jackson song titles appear on the poster, "Beg Me", "I Wake Up Crying," and "I Don't Want to Cry," his first hit, a Top 5 smash also from 1961.

DIMENSIONS Frame: H 26.75 in. W 19 in. D 1 in., Poster: H 21.25 in. W 14 in. HISTORY Over fifty years ago, Rick Griffin produced his epic poster masterpiece of symbolic iconography, "The Flying Eyeball", in a burst of inspiration. The image has arguably become the most recognizable and evocative image of the psychedelic 60s, being to Psychedelic Art what Warhol's soup tin is to Pop Art - an instant identifier for the age of Acid Rock. The Winged Eye symbol has its origins in antiquity, appearing in the art of the Egyptians and Assyrians. Rick particularly venerated the late 1950s' version, that of famed lowbrow artist Von Dutch, whose interpretation resonated with the roots of hot-rod culture, so central to Rick's Southern California upbringing. Von's Flying Eye was stylistically informed by traditional American tattooing and car culture, and he may also have been exposed to this image as nose art on WWII USAAF airplanes, an art form that influenced decorative automobile art...

Vintage Jefferson Airplane Concert Poster by Greg Irons, Bill Graham, 1967

Vintage Jefferson Airplane Concert Poster by Greg Irons, Bill Graham, 1967

Located in San Diego, CA

Super rare original 1967 concert poster designed by Greg Irons, produced for performances by Jefferson Airplane and presented in San Francisco by legendary promoter Bill Graham at the Winterland Ballroom. #5067 This striking psychedelic composition—featuring Irons’ unmistakable graphic style, bold color fields, and surreal figural imagery—captures the visual language of the late 1960s San Francisco rock scene at its peak. Irons, a central figure in the Fillmore and Winterland poster movement, is celebrated for blending underground comics sensibility with concert advertising, producing some of the era’s most visually dynamic designs. Printed in a tall vertical format and originally intended for short-term street and venue display, surviving examples of Irons’ Jefferson Airplane posters are increasingly scarce, particularly in clean, unfaded condition. This is is a great piece of rock-n-roll history and increasingly difficult to find! Details: Artist/Designer: Greg Irons Promoter: Bill Graham Venue: Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco Performers: Jefferson Airplane, Mother Earth and The Flamin' Groovies Year: 1967 Dimensions: 14 in W × 21.5 in H Medium: Original offset lithograph on paper Condition: Original 1967 Winterland concert poster showing authentic wear from period distribution, including minor edge wear, pin holes in the corners and light creasing. Colors remain vibrant. Good to very good vintage condition. Framing: Presented unframed and suitable for archival framing. Historical Context: The Winterland Ballroom was one of Bill Graham’s most iconic venues, hosting many of Jefferson Airplane’s most important performances during the height of the psychedelic era. Posters designed by Greg Irons from this period are especially sought after, as they bridge the Fillmore poster...
