Classic Rock Posters: Collecting, Archiving, and More (BK-27)

I have been in love with music concert posters since 1965 when I ended up in charge of advertising for my group the Prime Movers Blues Band. I guess no one else was interested or could figure out how to advertise but me, so before I knew it I had converted a small attic room in the Prime Mover House at 114 N. Division in Ann Arbor Michigan to a silkscreen shop.

It was there I spent who-knows-how-many hours cutting Rubylith screens and printing band posters. Replicating an image you love for a band you love was a slow but deeply satisfying process. The rest of the band (and me) would then take the freshly printed posters and put them up all over town. The posters didn‟t last long either. The next day many of them would be gone and we would have to do it all over again. I wonder where those posters are today.
