This large headshop poster was produced in 1984 by Personalities INC in Gaithersburg Maryland and features Alton Kelley's artwork design for the legendary 1971 Grateful Dead double live album - often referred to by fans as "Bertha" (because of the first song) or "Skull Fuck". When the band submitted the latter name as what they wanted for the album title it was rejected by Warner Brothers for obvious reasons. The general public probably know it as the Skull & Roses double live album from '71 - as the record company ended up calling it Grateful Dead Grateful Dead. This is a monster sized poster in great condition.
