Rare San Francisco State College Acid Test Handbill
This handbill from San Francisco State College promoted the SFSC Acid Test known as “Whatever It Is” on September 30, 1966. The Grateful Dead, Mimi Farina, The Only Alternative, Committee, Wildflower, The Final Solution, The S.F. Mime Troupe, Congress of Wonders, Demon Lover, and others performed at this event. The SFSC Acid Test was quite an event and was held in several different places on the campus. Ken Kesey came up from Mexico to attend, escorted by several of the Hells Angels, and he made numerous broadcasts from SFSC’s underground radio broadcast booth. This was the last legal Acid Test; LSD was designated a controlled substance on October 6, 1966. All in all, this is a highly important item for those interested in the history of LSD and the Acid Tests. Fortunately, a few examples of this rare item were saved by a person involved with the event—otherwise only a couple would be known.
Medium: A Buyers Premium of 15% will be added to the hammer price of all lots.
