THIS is the newspaper clipping and poster that the Surf Ballroom used for the show.
The Surf was a last-minute "pencil-in" date, so no other posters were produced for the event.

There are 7 B&W photos known to exist from the Surf show.
The original negatives were recently discovered and copyrighted in 2009, with hopes to have pruints available soon.
Here's one unbelievably rare item:
During the Winter Dance Party, promotional 45s were given out to the fans, at Clear Lake, IA,
it was Buddy's new release "Raining In My Heart".
The owner got Buddy, Ritchie, The Bopper, Frankie Sardo, Dion,
and Carlos Mastrangelo (of The Belmonts) to sign his 45.
Needless to say how rare this item is, it is possibly the only
known item in existence that all the performers signed together.
