DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION:
This is an original, vintage, first and only printing concert handbill printed prior to the 1971 concert date.  Over 47 years old now...  - Portland handbills were not printed in mega quantities like the FILLMORE & AVALON S.F. Bay Area handbills, especially the full color Portland SPRINGER'S concert handbills, and thus are far scarcer, especially in gorgeous condition.
There are no markings, creases, folds, pin holes or stains - no damage of any kind. Paper and ink are and unfaded (see the 1200 dpi scan).
This handbill is part of a lot of unused tickets, posters and handbills acquired from a Portland, OR 1960's and 1970's concert promoter, in the early 90's.  All of these items will be listed on Ebay. All are originals - no reproductions.
This handbill was printed on thin, white paper stock, at CORBERRY PRESS in Portland and is one of THE most colorful of the late 1960's and early 1970's Portland concert handbills (most were black & white or one color on white paper).  Mr. Corberry literally wore out his presses printing the Springer's concert posters created by BRUCE WEBER , CATHERINE E. WEINSTEIN (aka THUNDERBITCH ..honored for her envelope stretching concert posters at an art exhibit at the TETHER GALLERY in SEATTLE, WA in 2010 entitled "THUNDERBITCH" which included work by a plethora of other noted women concert poster designers from the Pacific Northwest, from the 1960's through 2010, visit thunderbitch.com to view the art exhibit catalog, featuring Catherine's tumultuous bio), JIM BLASHFIELD (former Bill Graham / FILLMORE concert poster artist and internationally reknowned MTV music video artist), DORC, GARY EWING, MCGUINESS and others.

Another Note:
In addition to my usual inventory of records, musical instruments, entertainment memorabilia and electronics, I am currently helping a local stringed instrument repair shop liquidate a lot of their inventory so they can focus on their core business of instrument repair. There will be lots of pickups, new and vintage guitar parts and guitar accessories offered at REVERBNW in the coming months. I am also helping a local sound company liquidate their raw 10", 12" & 15" JBL P.A. speakers.
Please feel free to write with any questions. Most questions can be answered same day.

I take pride in providing accurate descriptions, speedy service and careful packaging, using recycled materials whenever possible.
As of May of 2013, reverbnw was converted into an Ebay store and my second account, reverbnw-two - the account for non- music or non-media related items, was discontinued and folded into this account. Since it is now possible to search within store categories, there is no longer a need for two separate accounts.
