print variations in poster:
The pre-concert 1st printing measures 14 1/8" x 19 15/16" on vellum with "The Bindweed Press San Francisco" in the green border under "Avalon." The Family Dog logo is white.
The 2nd printing is 14 1/4" x 20" on vellum thicker than that of the 1st printing. The Family Dog logo is black, and "No. 24-2" appears in the lower right corner. "(c) Family Dog productions 639 Gough Street San Francisco, Calif. 94102" is in the lower left corner. The 2nd printing was produced after the concert.
The poster (& handbill) is entitled "Tree House" or "Barnyard" by Mouse & Kelley (R.I.P.). The image in the center is right out of an Underground Comic! A Bird's Talom sprouting up out of the barnyard holding a small retangular house that resembles a coffin!
