Original 1st printing 22 x 28&1/4" Warner Brothers Records promotional poster for the Grateful Dead's 1971 live album "Grateful Dead" (A/K/A "Skullf*ck"). Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley, medium glossy stock poster is in good (B) condition; there are a set of horizontal/vertical factory folds (as-issued, folded into 1/6ths) with a couple of tiny edge splits at the outer crease tips and a tiny hole at the intersection of the top fold, a small 1" crescent-shaped tear at 2:00 on the interior circle in the center of the image area (and a tack/pin hole at 1:00), plus a series of light handling dings, a few tiny pin-prick surface spots, a thin diagonal bend in the bottom center margin and a nearly-invisible dime-sized stain in the top center margin, otherwise fine. CLASSIC Mouse/Kelley Dead promo poster from the early-'70's, this is when the mass-marketing of the skeleton & roses image REALLY started.
