Janis Joplin

The Wired Dragon presents Janis Joplin with Rotary Connection. Nashville: Wired Dragon Efforts, Inc., ca. 16 December 1969

Broadside (355 x 215 mm) printed in red; small marginal chips and short closed tears, two of which at head affecting two letters, pinhole at head, lightly browned, more so at edges, some creasing with one more substantial horizontal crease above Wired Dragon logo, a few minor abrasions, small piece of tape to verso.

In 1969 Joplin was on her tour in support of her first (and only) solo release, I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (see preceding lot). Nashville had not originally been slated as a stop, but she eventually agreed to add another date because she hoped the promoter might be able to introduce her to Kris Kristofferson and Skeeter Davis, the latter of which she did. Joplin shared the bill with the Chicago psychedelic soul band Rotary Connection and Minnie Riperton was the opener.
