ANNOUNCEMENT
unknown publication
- early april 1965 usa
reproduced in outasite
#4 - late 2002 [no specific date given] usa
notes
* the
festival lasted eight days....
* it
billed 97 acts plus
a 'special judging of junior bands'
* a
bottom note reveals that it was part of a series of 'competitions':
'program for the bay
area's battle of the bands [...]
was not available at press time.'
* considering
the size of this happening, this program must be the
legendary, but equally
mysterious fourth annual teenage fair....
* publications
which mention a legendary, but equally mysterious
1965 battle
of the claremont / pomona college bands
concert
must have been on
a similar wrong track (afterwards)

note
* original source
unknown, but the fold in it reveals us it's a paper
* yes, the festival
was sponsored by vox electronic equipments
* this picture has
been published earlier, in the anthology 'the dust blows forward';
but it was editorially
manipulated and incomplete -
so it looses the battle
against this better version....
