I think this is a repro. How can I exactly tell?
-
For one thing the condition seems to be extraordinarily good for a big piece of paper from 1968.
-
That's true. This was just given to me by a "Cream" fan like my husband. This person actually went to the concert in England. He felt it was a repro, but wasn't sure. When he was on a trip to Oregan he got a real poster by luck, lol. Ther must something that would at the bottom. I just can't remember. I'm going to do some reading and see.

I'm going to check! ;D

Never heard of them,,,who are they ??
-
mart, get ready BigWullie is going have a good time with you, lol. "Creme" is one of biggest bands in Rock and Roll. Like the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Rod Stewart etc... "Creme" = Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker (one of the best drummers of all time),and Rick Gretch.
-
LOL Yep,, he likely will !! I know all but those last two !! Don`t think they hung around the Rodeo circuit much !!
-
Lol, your probably right! ;D More Willie Nelson and Tim McGraw, lol
-
Not just with Mart...with you too G,acre....Cream, as in Dairy Cream...not Creme as in Creme Brulee,...you Mart...need some educating....Cream were Rock Gods of the late 60,s i was just coming out of my shell at 18 when i first heard them,....and i still listen to them 44 years later......but then Mart,i remember you had a sheltered upbringing....so maybe this is why..you,ve never heard of them....but its not too late to listen to them....they,ll rock you outa your socks...or had you heard of them earlier...out of your stookie.... ;D.see link

Lol, your probably right! ;D More Willie Nelson and Tim McGraw, lol
I had a ticket to see Willie Nelson once, it cost me £25...then somebody offered me £100 for it ...so i sold it, and bought one of his cd,s for £5....listened to it once then chucked it out the car window...never to see or hear of it again....best thing i ever did... ;D

My husband is 6 years older. I had heard "Cream" when I was 9, but it wasn't till I got married was I made to listen to them over and over, lol Eric Clapton is a genius. A self taught musician. At the age of 16 he picked up a guitar and taught himself to play. Ginger Baker was in "Blind Faith" which my husband still has the album. Sorry for that second posted "brain freeze", I told you getting senile. ;D

We get these kind of posters all the time at work, what I have learn to look for is condition vs. popularlity of the band in comparsion to the date. What I mean is these poster were made to be used on poles and sometimes in cases. Original ones will usually show wear from use, this is more the case with posters from early concerts, cause for the most part they were not popular enough to be collected. In this case Cream started in 1966, this one dated 1968, would be a early poster if real and very few could be found in this condition, but it is possible. Now you do have Eric Clapton who was already famous from the yardbirds, so there is a better chance of someone getting a unused one or one from a case and putting it away. The next thing is fading from it being displayed on the wall from a avid fan, and of course smoked colored from well the room filled with smoke, cause only a young rebel would even snag one from the party room. Basically the point being very few of these poster will have no signs of wear, and if it looks too good well it probably is, cause every head shop in town has a few repo's hanging around, for us older folks to hang on the wall to remember those great times of the late 60's and 70's.

My husband loves the poster. There's a small music store in Philadelphia called "aka music" will get you any music you want. My husband's favorite place. Just a neat place to hang out! If you have a couple minutes or more, lol. I have "Rolling Stones" concert pins from at least four or five concerts, I have "old tickets from every concert or sporting event I ever went to. They are not worth much, but I put them with photos of the evening as a memory keepsake.
-
Oh, and don't forget the "Billy Joel Bobble head", lol ;D
-
An original Cream (note the spelling ;D) poster in this condition would be worth hundreds, maybe thousands.
And since we're talking rock memorabila, does anyone have a Queen ticket stub from St. Louis from their first U.S. tour, with Mott the Hoople?
-
Thought I would look this one up !! They are everywhere for sale,, Amazon, Etsy, Ebay and a bunch of others !! Prices I found were $5.99 to $9.99 !!
