The 1st printing is on vellum and measures 13 3/4" x 19 15/16". There is some color variation within this first run, particularly noticeable in the red ink, which varies from bright to brick red. "The Bindweed Press, San Francisco" credit appears in the bottom right hand corner, and it was printed before the concert.
The post-concert 3rd printing adds "35-3" to the lower left corner, deletes the Bindweed credit, and adds "(c) Family Dog Productions, 1725 Washington Street, San Francisco" to the lower right corner. It measures 14" x 19 7/8".
There is no known 2nd printing.
Born in Detroit, Stanley Miller became known as "Mouse" after illustrating countless notebooks with his signature rodent sketch. Miller found an outlet for his creativity in pin-striping cars and airbrushing hot rod designs on posters and T-shirts. Mouse migrated to San Francisco in 1964, where he first met the artists associated with Family Dog, the organization producing dance concerts at the Avalon Ballroom. With collaborator Alton Kelley, Mouse experimented broadly with composition, lettering and imagery: Kelley came up with the ideas and Mouse executed the designs. Mouse and Kelley helped to establish the psychedelic style of expression under the name Mouse Studios.
