Description

Cream’s 1966 debut

Original 5.5 x 8.25 handbill for the Sixth National Jazz & Blues Festival. The annual event, held at The Royal Windsor Racetrack on July 29-31, 1966, was famous for introducing important breakout sets by up-and-coming performers, and the '66 edition featured no less than Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce’s first scheduled public performance as Cream; the trio having played an unannounced set several days before at a Sam and Dave show. By all accounts, it was a landmark showcase in a weekend chock full of unparalleled performances by The Who, Small Faces, The Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Group with Steve Winwood and many more. This design by Token Creative represents a fantastic testament to one of the greatest weekends ever in British Rock, as where else would you find Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, and Steve Marriott all performing at the same gig. In fine condition, with a central vertical crease. RRAuction COA.
