Item Description
22x28.25" thin cardboard poster for June 19, 1953 concert that took place at Gregory's Ballroom in Richmond, VA featuring Doo-Wop group The Swallows (w/song titles "Beside You, Laugh" and "Bicycle Tillie" listed) and All Star Dance Orchestra. Poster features nice photo of The Swallows singing in harmony. Poster was printed by Globe Poster Corp. of Baltimore, MD.

Top center margin has 6.5" vertical tear w/.5x1.75" hole at top.
