    Description

    This is an original and scarce double-wide postcard from the June 27-30, 1968, concerts at the Retinal Circus in Vancouver, BC, Canada, featuring
    the Velvet Undergound
    , along with local Canadian bands
    My Indole Ring, Black Snake Blues Band, Papa Bear's Medicine Show,
    and
    the Don Thompson Trio.
    Art on this scarce piece is by Steve Seymour.
    Vancouver had a vibrant psychedelic scene with venues like the Retinal Circus and the Afterthought, which featured international bands on west coast tours and local acts throughout the mid-to-late 60s.  Artists like Bob Masse, Eric Fisher and Steve Seymour created some classic psych-rock art, and this scarce postcard is a gorgeous, original, 50+ year old example.  Keep in mind the scene and club venues were small in Vancouver, so posters, handbills and postcards were printed in much, much, smaller quantities than their counterparts in places like San Francisco.
    This
    original pre-concert first printing
    is in excellent to near mint condition with no creases and one "soft" corner (see photos). This postcard measures
    5" x 14" with clean bright colors.
    This is 100% guaranteed authentic
    .  All of my items have been acquired from only the most trusted and reputable sources.  Buy with confidence.  I offer a full money back guarantee if you are not totally satisfied with your purchase!
