Description
KMPX Radio San Francisco Neon Rose #15 — Victor Moscoso is an original psychedelic vintage poster created to promote KMPX in San Francisco in 1967. Designed by Victor Moscoso, this striking Neon Rose series artwork reflects the bold experimentation and graphic rhythm that made Moscoso’s posters so highly sought after by vintage poster enthusiasts. The neon-hued palette, geometric patterning, and mirrored, radio-inspired centerpiece give the design a distinctive visual presence that reads instantly at both close and far viewing distances.
This poster is associated with KMPX, a small FM station best known for its foreign language programming. The story behind KMPX adds important historical texture for collectors who want more than just the graphic design—they want the cultural context. According to the listing notes, KMPX gained major traction and quickly expanded its programming. Within two months, in June of 1967, KMPX became a full-time rock ’n’ roll station. The turning point is described as beginning on April 7, 1967, when KMPX-FM shifted toward playing Rock ’n’ Roll album cuts rather than customary 45 RPM singles—an intentional move described as a rebellion and a sonic revolution.
The poster is described as having been printed once, with three different variations. The Type 1 version is noted as printed on white index stock, measuring approximately 22⅛″ x 27⅞″, and, importantly, it has no silver ink. Collectors often look for specific variations like these because the print stock and ink details can significantly affect how the poster appears and how it is documented.
Presented here as a carefully selected original piece in very good condition, this is an excellent choice for anyone seeking an authentic Neon Rose-era Moscoso poster tied directly to the KMPX radio story.
