(London): nd. (1967). Original offset litho poster printed in blue, red and black. 73.2x52.8cm.

Dean's artwork features a cartoon illustration depicting a huge visual thought bubble emanating from Pete Brown's head, filled with images of his literary and musical heroes (among them, Elvis, Charlie Parker, WB Yeats, Thelonius Monk, Pete Townshend, Byron, Shakespeare, the Singing Postman, Charlie Christian, and Cream, for whom Brown had recently begun writing lyrics). Biplanes fly in the backdrop of a cloud-strewn blue sky, while below members of his band (Laurie Allan, John McLaughlin and Binky McKenzie) are depicted playing their instruments.

Old corner pinholes; a few short, closed edge tears and light creasing; o/w Very Good plus.
