A historically important rare queer punk poster advertising the infamous cancelled first tour show of punk band CRIME in 1976 at the San Francisco gay bar the Stud.

"CRIME produced the poster to promote this show. The controversy caused the Stud to reputedly pay CRIME $100 NOT to play. The controversy also resulted in Bill Graham barring CRIME from ever playing at the Winterland." Citation: Crime Online Fan Page; and together with a San Francisco Thrash and Metal band AIDS benefit poster (bands: Violence, Mordred, Contempt, Pestilence, Epidemic, Forbidden, and Potential Threat). Every lot is sold "as is," "where is," and "without warranty," whether express or implied. Lighting and electronics have not been tested and should be professionally evaluated prior to use.
