Cream Poster
Image may not exactly match item shipped.
Cream's two appearances at the Fillmore were incredible successes, and at the end of their run, Bill Graham presented Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce each with a gold watch to show his appreciation.
The 1st printing of the poster is characterized by its patchy brown/gold border that matches the postcard. The lettering is a bright, almost Day Glow purple/magenta color. It was printed before the concert, first in a run of 5,000, and a week and a half later 500 more were printed. Posters from either print run are identical in all respects and are considered originals. This 1st printing measures 13 7/8" x 21".
The 2nd printing is identified by its even yellow border and rich red lettering. It was printed after the concert on 12/14/1968 in a run of 1,000. This reprint poster measures 13 7/8" x 21".
The 3rd printing is on #80 matte cover stock. It resembles the 1st printing and has "W 2021" in the lower right-hand margin. It was printed in 2021 by Wolfgang's in a 100 copy run. This reprint measures 14" x 21".
The 4th printing is on coated stock and has "W 2023" in the lower right hand margin. It was printed in 2023 by Wolfgang's in a 250 copy run. This reprint measures 14" x 21".
