Description

Herrenhäuser Garten, Hannover October 1970 concert poster

Original first printing concert poster advertising English progressive rock band Spooky Tooth at the Orangerie in the Herrenhäuser Garten, Hannover [Germany] on 15th & 16th October, 1970,  with krautrockers Frumpy and Cravinkel as special guests. Spooky Tooth was touring in support of The Last Puff, an album billed as “Spooky Tooth featuring Mike Harrison”. The album was released following the departure of co-lead singer and principal songwriter Gary Wright. Wright had left the band in early 1970, following the release of Ceremony in December 1969. The song “Something to Say” was co-written by Joe Cocker. Grease Band members Henry McCullough, Chris Stainton, and Alan Spnner joined original Spooky Tooth members Harrison, Grosvenor and Kellie to complete the album. The Grease Band members had achieved international prominence the year before, backing Joe Cocker at Woodstock.  The album was co-produced by Stainton and Chris Blackwell. Despite the promise of the album, the band broke up shortly after its release. A year later, McCullough, Stainton and Spenner released the first of two Grease Band albums, while Harrison and Grosvenor both released solo albums.

The poster measures 59.7 x 83.7 cm (approx. 23.5″ by 33″ inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, smooth-finish uncoated paper stock. There are a couple of pin holes to each corner, else in remarkably near excellent unfolded condition. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have concerning this item.
