An original handbill from the Velvet Underground’s October, 1969 series of shows at the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, Texas; from the collection of Velvet’s late great guitarist Sterling Morrison.

The bold artwork for this handbill, by noted Texas underground cartoonist Jim Franklin, shows a velvet lined coffin buried deep in a grave; with the back featuring an advertisement for the ‘infamous’ local Austin head shop Oat Willie’s.

In mint condition. 8 1/2″ x 10 3/4.”

With a letter of authenticity from Sterling Morrison’s widow, Martha Morrison, and Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity, noting the extraordinary provenance.
