Scarce and highly collectible
original first printing
concert poster advertising legendary American singer, guitarist, songwriter and poet
Lou Reed
at the Philipshalle in Düsseldorf [Germany] on Thursday, 5th March, 1992. Accompanied by drummer Michael Blair, guitarist Mike Rathke, and bassist Rob Wasserman, Reed was touring Europe in support of the
Magic and Loss
album – his sixteenth solo studio album. Recorded at The Magic Shop in New York City and produced by Reed and Rathke, the album was released on 14th January, 1992 by Sire Records.
Magic and Loss
was originally intended to be primarily about themes of magic after hearing stories about magicians in Mexico. However, when tragedy struck during the writing process, Reed expanded the album’s focus to themes of loss and death as well. Inspired in part by the illnesses and eventual deaths of two close friends,
Magic and Loss
was written for songwriter Doc Pomus, who had given Reed his start in the music business some 25 years earlier, and a woman Reed has identified as “Rita”, popularly assumed to be Rotten Rita, who along with Reed was a familiar figure at Andy Warhol’s studio, The Factory, in the mid-to-late ’60s.
The poster measures
59.2 x 83.7 cm (approx. 23.3" by 33" inches)
and is beautifully printed on thin, matte-coated paper stock. In near excellent unfolded and unmarked condition
, ready to frame.
