Original 1st printing 4&1/2 x 6&1/4" concert handbill for NYC avant-freak rockers the Fugs with Kaleidoscope (featuring David Lindley) and the Family Tree at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on 5/3/1968. Art by San Andreas Fault (Tad Hunter), image is part of the short-lived "Crystal Dog" series (sometimes considered to be a minor extension of the Family Dog/Portland series). Ultra-thin glossy stock handbill is in gorgeous mint/near mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; just a pair of tiny handling dings underneath "The" and in Ed Sanders' hair, otherwise fine. One of the coolest-looking Crystal Dog images, this is a really fantastic example. Be sure to check out additional listings from this extensive Portland collection (including the very hard-to-find POSTER from this show).
