Finally, after 35 years, the August 27th 1967 Jimi Hendrix at the Saville Theatre" poster is now available in limited quantities.
Originally commissioned by Brian Epstein, the Saville's owner and, famously, the Beatles' manager, this poster features a well-known photograph of the band in front of a large white paper fan, taken by Karl Ferris, the Saville's "house photographer" during the summer of 1967.
The Saville Theatre was THE place for live music in London. A former opera theatre, its boxes were reserved for rock royalty - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Donovan, Jimi Hendrix among them - who would show up to watch other hot acts of the time.
Karl Ferris was there to record it all, photographing many of the shows and stars, as well as shooting 6 record album covers in that memorable 1967 summer alone, for Jimi Hendrix, Donovan, and the Hollies.

Lost "Jimi Hendrix At The Saville Theatre" Poster
Aug 27th 1967
Lost "Jimi Hendrix At The Saville Theatre" Poster Now Available Finally, after 35 years , the ultra rare 1967 "Jimi Hendrix At The Saville Theatre" poster is now available in limited quantities. Reprinted from the original art work, high quality custom printed on heavy stock, supervised by the photographer/designer Karl Ferris.
But the August 27th 1967 concert featured in this poster was regrettably one of the more memorable of the Saville's nights: at the end of the 6pm show, it was learned that Brian Epstein had just died from an overdose of sleeping pills. The 8pm show was cancelled in mourning. And, sadly, the Saville Theatre was demolished soon after, in 1968.
As Saville performances were always sold out in advance, posters were not needed for widespread advertising, and just a few were printed for display at the Saville Theatre only. The original poster for this 1967 concert had a very limited print run and very few are known to exist.
