Story
In June 1983, the high priests of psychobilly brought their 'Smell of Female' tour to the historic Eldorado theater in Paris, a venue that had transitioned from a 19th-century music hall to a gritty rock temple.
Maker / Origin
New Rose Records was the heart of the French independent music scene, founded in 1980 by Patrick Mathé and Louis Thevenon.
Condition & Value
The poster exhibits minor handling wear and slight rippling, which is typical for this thin paper stock. Original 1980s Cramps posters are highly collectible, particularly those associated with the 'Smell of Female' era.
