Original Leonard Cohen German concert poster for a (canceled) performance at Rheingoldhalle Mainz, December 6, 1977

N.p. CBS, 1977. Vintage Leonard Cohen, "The Poet of Rock Music," German concert poster for a performance at Rheingoldhalle Mainz, Tuesday, December 6, 1977—ultimately canceled—with the image of Cohen's 1975 "Greatest Hits" release, released at the peak of his 1970s fame, on the lower left.

Posters and tickets were printed for German performances by Cohen in 1977, a year in which Cohen did not tour, for an apparently canceled tour in support of his 1977 album, "Death of a Ladies' Man," released on November 3, 1977.

"Death of a Ladies' Man" was Cohen's most controversial album, co-written and produced by an increasingly erratic Phil Spector. It was the singer-songwriter's fifth studio release, marking a departure from his typically sparse singer/songwriter stylings in favor of Spector's "wall of sound" approach. The release left many Cohen fans aghast and confused when it was released in 1977, but has since been reconsidered as one of the peaks of his career.

23.25 x 33 inches. Near Fine.
