Blondie 1st Album Era CBGB's, NYC 1977 Concert Ad

In 1976 Blondie released they're debut album.
By this point in 1977 the album had not yet been discovered outside of a small punk/new wave audience.
They may not have been a national success story (yet) but the lines were forming around the block at CB's.

This is an interesting ad because on it is also one of the earlier gigs by the Sick F*cks (spelled Sic Fux at the time).
Why is this interesting? Because the band was formed by ex-Stiletto's backup singers Tish and Snooky.
And who were the Stiletto's? Debbie Harry and Chris Steins ex-band of course!

There are not many artifacts left from the early days of punk.
If you could even find a flyer or poster you could expect to pay thousands.
These ads are really the only surviving documentation of the times, and offer an affordable option to own a piece of history.

In fact, original ads for the golden days (1975-1978) of CBGB's are very difficult to find. The vertically formatted, black background and all capital lettered white typographic design of the CBGB ads became as iconic as the punk bands that played the venue.

Small concert ads are my absolute favorite type of ad. Why? Because these little condensed size ads are packed with amazing R&R history and one-off artwork.
These ads were short run. They are mini archives of the bands history. The live gigs are where the legends and folklore were born. In addition the artwork packed
in these little ads are often iconic and poster-like. My educated guess based on my R&R memorabilia knowledge makes me believe these ads will increase in
value - maybe more so than the poster type ads - THESE ARE THE REAL ADS FOR THE REAL SHOWS - how many can exist in the world!! Plus they look great in small
frames on your work desk, as part of a portfolio or scrap book, and even as refridge magnets (you will have to buy the kits separately).

These advertisements ran in various publications for the purpose of promoting a bands tour or performance. Printed in a variety of sizes (note description),
and on various paper stocks from glossy magazine paper to newsprint these RARE ads were often created for a limited time, sometimes running only for a single issue.
Because of the limited nature of these ads often times the artwork is different or varied from that used in the traditional promotional campaigns creating rare one
offs and variations. These are most often collected and/or framed. As these ads become more and more scarce certain ads are becoming highly desirable for their
investment potential. THESE LIMITED PRINT RUN ADVERTISEMENTS ARE BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND!
