There were only four Tower Records stores in 1971, two in Sacramento, one in San Francisco and the brand-new store on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. This telephone pole flyer was created by Tower's original ad firm the Doug Robertson Agency.
The art on this merchandising piece did double duty as art for a regional insert in Rolling Stone and promotional posters stapled on telephone poles all over L.A. publicizing the then-new Tower Sunset store.
This is a great artifact from back when the record business was still relatively small.
This one is from Capitol Records and lists Paul McCartney, Grand Funk, Pink Floyd, Leon Russell and the Shelter People, Helen Reddy, McGuinness Flint, Leo Kottke, and the Fortunes. The mini definition of "Capital" matches the misspelling of the label.
This original poster is offset printed and measures about 11" x 15.5".
Printed in 1971. Created by Tower's first ad agency, the Doug Robertson Agency.
This art was also an ad in the LA regional edition of Rolling Stone
Includes signed Certificate of Authenticity and Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee COA
In beautiful, mint condition
A great gift for anyone who loves the era, when the record business was still in its infancy.
