Description

 Original 1st printing 14&1/2 x 20&1/4" event poster for the 1st Annual KTBT Freak Fair, an underground radio-sponsored event held at the Orange County International Raceway in Irvine, CA on 2/8/1969.

 Art by Lombard, the image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 272 (plate 3.62).

 Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there are tack holes and slight tape marks in all four corners and in the top/bottom/left/right center margins (8 total), along with a few small pressure creases and a thin bend or two scattered around the outer margin area, a few well-camouflaged handling/stress bends hiding within the image area and a slight curl to the paper, otherwise OK.

 Weird-looking (though oddly popular) oddball Southern California poster from the Art of Rock, this one almost never surfaces.

 Apparently KTBT was a very short-lived "free-form" FM station that operated out of (of all places) a booth in the middle of a stereo store in a shopping center in suburban Garden Grove, CA. The station was allegedly a tax write-off for the owners, who would apparently change programming formats whenever it began showing a profit. The station's underground rock format was VERY brief, existing for less than a year.
