Original 1st printing 5&5/8 x 8&1/2" concert handbill- "Fall Ball", an 11/10/1968 benefit for PNW psych favorites the New Tweedy Brothers with Country Joe, P.H. Phactor, Portland Zoo, U.S. Cadenza and the Nazz-Are ("Nazar") Blues Band at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR. Art by Aubrey Beardsley (lettering unknown), thin flat stock handbill is in gorgeous near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; a couple of minor smudges in the left center margin and in the lower right corner and a couple of tiny surface dings, otherwise fine. One of the more unusual handbills in the Crystal series, this one has a really neat design and a great lineup.
