Rare original stapled press handout for the 1967 “Monterey International Pop Festival,” issued as “Notes for the Friendly Media,” three pages, 8.5 x 14, written by Beatles press agent Derek Taylor, who ran the press relations at Monterey Pop. This handout was given to reporters and contains all the rules for covering the festival, in essence serving as a FAQ guide. Of particular interest is the list of the ‘Board of Governors,’ which includes Lou Adler, Donovan, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Jim McGuinn, Terry Melcher, Andrew Oldham, Alan Pariser, John Phillips, Johnny Rivers, Smokey Robinson, Abe Somer, and Brian Wilson. In fine condition.
From the collection of the late Ralph J. Gleason, the legendary San Francisco music critic, cofounder of Rolling Stone Magazine, and a critical organizer of the Monterey Pop Festival.
