An original concert poster advertising The Clash at the Hamburg Germany Markthalle on May 12, 1980, boldly signed by Joe Strummer (1952-2002) next to his photograph.

Strummer has signed beautifully in red marker, adding ‘L.A. 1998’; the very large signature measures 6 3/4″ across.  This show took place just five months after The Clash released London Calling, which Wikipedia notes ‘was met with widespread critical acclaim and has retrospectively been named one of the greatest albums of all time. On Rolling Stone’s list of The 5oo Greatest Albums of All Time, London Calling ranked eighth in the 2003 and 2012 editions, and sixteenth in the 2020 edition.

Strummer’s signature has been authenticated by music autograph expert Roger Epperson, who’s Certificate of Authenticity is included, as is Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

23 1/4″ x 33″, in excellent condition, with a small piece missing from the bottom left edge, not affecting the graphics.
