Original yellow 5 x 7 handbill advertising the Yardbirds’ performance at Assembly Hall in Tunbridge Wells, England, on April 27, 1965. The handbill lists “The Chart Bustin’ Yardbirds,” promotes the song ‘For Your Love,’ and bills the Dynes as the supporting act. The upper portion also advertises an April 20th appearance by the “American all girl Group” Goldie and the Gingerbreads, with the Toys as support. In fine condition, with horizontal folds. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
The Tunbridge Wells date came weeks after Jeff Beck replaced Eric Clapton as the group’s lead guitarist. Clapton had left in March 1965 amid disagreements over the band’s increasingly commercial direction, particularly ‘For Your Love,’ the single promoted on the handbill. The “Chart Bustin’” billing was especially timely: ‘For Your Love’ had reached No. 3 on the UK Official Singles Chart and remained at that position during the week immediately preceding the April 27 performance.
