Description

Polydor Records promo poster signed by The Who

Phenomenal original 11.5 x 16.25 Polydor Records promotional poster for The Who, showing the four band members staring into the camera against a red background, signed in black ballpoint by Keith Moon, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle. The poster is an offset print on cardstock by the printing house R. Stöpfgeshoff GmbH & Co. KG of Wuppertal, Germany. In very good to fine condition, with tiny tack holes to the corners, and small areas of surface loss to the edges.

After releasing their first two albums—My Generation and A Quick One—through Decca and Brunswick Records, The Who signed with Track Record in 1967, an upstart independent record label founded by their managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. During the label's early days, Track remained very reliant upon distribution support in the United Kingdom from the large Polydor Records label based in Germany. A remarkable and highly appealing early band poster signed by the full Who lineup.
