Description
Colston Hall, Bristol October 1970 concert flyer
Large original first printing concert handbill advertising British psychedelic folk band The Incredible String Band at the Colston Hall in Bristol [England] on Monday, 26th October, 1970, in support of U — their seventh studio album, produced by Joe Boyd, and released in October 1970 on Elektra. The majority of the material featured on the album was taken from the mixed-media production of the same name, which saw the band backed by the dancing troupe the Stone Monkey. The concept of U derived from the ISB’s fascination and subsequent conversion to Scientology in 1969. Although the show, along with the songs, were seen as ambitious, U was a commercial failure for the ISB with the album peaking at a modest #183 on the Billboard 200.
The flyer measures 18.3 x 27.5 cm (approx. 7.2″ by 10.8″ inches) and is beautifully printed in yellow, red and black inks on thin, coated paper stock. In excellent unfolded and unmarked condition.
