AUCTION - Grateful Dead - Guru Newspaper - 1967 Continental Posters - Santa Clara - Excellent and Near Mint
Now here’s a little treasure trove for you! Here we have Volume One, Number One, of Guru Magazine. This was a promotional newspaper published by Santa Clara, Ca. The venue called the Continental Club. Eight wonderful pages of local news, ads, upcoming event notices, and gossip! Plus two free posters to boot. The Doors are coming soon. The Palo Alto Love-in is coming up. The Grateful Dead got busted for pot! The year is 1967 and the Dead had indeed just gotten busted, so this was front-page news to the folks at Guru. All great stuff. Getting back to the posters, we have one for the Grateful Dead and one for the Seeds. Both for upcoming performances at the Continental Club. Both of these posters are known in the collecting community, with the Grateful Dead one being especially sought after. The newspaper that these posters came from, however, is a much rarer thing, though. All three in one lot is a real opportunity. The newspaper adds so much to the appreciation of the posters. All the ancillary and background information really affords us a more complete window on the time. The newspaper measures 11 1/2” X 15”, while each poster measures 10 7/8” X 14 3/4”. This is just a super lot from the South Bay. A complete set, which gives a more complete picture of the time. The newspaper is in Excellent condition, with minimal wear and the newsprint shows the appropriate age. The Grateful Dead poster is in Near Mint condition, with only light toning on reverse. The Seeds poster is in Excellent condition, with handling, edge wear, and toning on reverse.
