Vintage 22" tall licensed poster for Deep Purple. These were the first glossy licensed paper posters ever produced featuring rock stars. Dream Merchants issued a different one each month for a year. Now, they are nearly impossible to find. The Deep Purple poster was issued in December, 1975. The pictures on them are from live concerts in the early 1970s. Excellent unused condition. These came from our roadie friend too. They are very hard to find and priced according to scarcity. In the past, some of these have gone for very high auction prices. Excellent unused condition, and printed on thick high quality paper. We will ship these rolled in tubes.
We just bought a large lot of many different passes from a roadie who worked many of these concerts. He collected them and traded them around with other roadies over a 30 year period, so many are very unusual and uncommon. We are going to be listing a lot of different types and will provide approximate retail prices so you will know what to sell them for based on prices at large sites that sell music related memorabilia. This particular one retails for around $100-$200.
Backstage passes are one of the biggest collectibles in the pop culture world. Music became the number one interest of people all over the world by the mid 1970s and concerts were everywhere. Popular groups and cult groups from the mid 70s to the mid 90s are the most popular. They have one of the broadest appeals of all collector items as almost everyone likes music and has collected records, or CDs, or MP3s. They also make very cool affordable gifts. Framers are starting to frame them too. Great for a TV room. These are just really cool.
