Description
- This is a 1st Print Original Handbill for the FILLMORE Acid Test in San Francisco, Jan. 8, 1966 - Measures approx. 8 1/2" by 11" on Faded Day-Glo Green thin stock paper. It is in Good+ Condition with some minor issues. This handbill has seen better days and it's in rough shape, but it's intact and presentable. That being said, it happens to be the only one in the world known to exist, from this event, a VERY famous Acid Test. (The item looks more faded from the true color than it actually is. The camera is not displaying the true green color) - See the website page for the true color)I obtained this handbill from its original owner back in 2009. This item has been shown to Dennis King, of D. King Galleries in Berkeley, one of the most serious and professional Rock Concert Poster enthusiasts in the world. Dennis is also an expert in Inks and paper. Dennis concluded the item was 100% real, without question. As well, I personally guarantee this item to be Original and from the actual acid tests. These were made very inexpensively, while the Pranksters were traveling on the Bus, doing lots of drugs. They were not regarded as being very special at the time. they served a purpose and were done with. These were saved for over 50 years by a man who attended many of these events, and he didn't do the very best job taking care of them over the years, and this could be added to the fact that the handbills were hand crafted to begin with. This is a very serious piece of psychedelic music history. Don't miss out, it is literally the only one of this kind known so far.
There is extensive documentation on these items and the events on the website at http://www.postertrip.com/public/5576.cfm
