[ACID TESTS: Ken Kesey] Handbill announcing: ''Can You Pass the Acid Test?'' is handbill was created by the Pranksters when the UCLA Acid Test was cancelled by the university and the venue was changed at the last minute to Carthay Studios in Los Angeles where there was going to be "on location filming of The Acid Test." The Grateful Dead, Rock 'n' Roll Phantom Cabaret Exotica, Hugh Romney, Del Close, Tiny Tim, and The Merry Band of Pranksters and their Psychedelic Symphonette are listed as participants, and people are reminded to "bring your own Toys---Light, Sound, Whatever---and make them work." Some years ago Ken Kesey discovered a small handful (about 5) of these handbills in his barn where they had been hiding for many years. They all had a 3-inch circular dampmark at the top edge, and writing on the back, having been used as scrap paper by Kesey and Mountain Girl (this one has some barely legible writing by Kesey involving space ships and LSD). |
| This hastily created handbill reproduces someone's hand-lettered text so the design is more rudimentary (and perhaps more charming) than some of the more elaborately psychedelic ones, but it's probably the scarcest of all the original Acid Test handbills. Very good. SKB-14041

| [ART] BANKSY. Banksy's reworked version of Paris Hilton's debut CD ''Paris.'' n.p.: Privately published by Banksy, 2006. Banksy's scathingly modified version of Paris Hilton's CD that he clandestinely planted in record stores throughout the UK as one of his elaborate pranks. Banksy-designed jewel case sticker listing fake songs: "Why Am I Famous," "What Have I Done," and "What Am I For?" Inside booklet completely altered by Banksy who added satirical flourishes to Hilton's images by showing her topless, with a dog's head, and with dialog baloons stating: "Every CD You Buy Puts You Further Out of My League," "Life Wasn't Meant to Be Fair," "Thou Shall Not Worship False Icons," etc. Hilton's songs unflatteringly and humorously remixed by Danger Mouse. When music store owners caught onto Banksy's stunt most of the 500 copies he did were removed from circulation so these are not common on the market. |
Fine (couple of hairline scratches to jewel case). (There was a second edition of this CD done by others that differs from Banksy's original in very obvious ways.) SKB-13849
