The Early Avalon Ballroom posters from 1966 are the finest and most valuable of the entire Family Dog series. The print runs were low and the art was fresh and innovative. This poster features two great bands from Texas the groundbreaking psychedelic band 13th Floor Elevators and The Tex Mex/R& B innovators Sir Douglass Quintet.  This is an amazing example of the early work of Mouse and Kelley as it is signed by each.

 

This is the only Double Signed example to appear with CGC grading at public auction. It is 100% original with no restoration. The paper is fully intact with no cuts tears or nicks along the edges. There is a single pinhole in the bottom right corner 2 pinholes in the bottom left corner and 3 pinholes in each of the upper corners. There is also light toning throughout attesting to it’s unrestored status.

 

This poster is beautifully signed in pencil by Stanley Mouse and the late Alton Kelley.
