Description: ORIGINAL VINTAGE PUNK ROCK BAND FLYER STICKER BAND: Caustic Cause VENUES: Los Angeles area, California DESCRIPTION: 8½" x 11", this paper item appears to be a single sheet of gloss-like sticker material, with a full-sized sheet of backing paper.The most obvious intended use would be for fans to 'paper the town' on behalf of the band, by attaching these to walls, windows, vehicles, and other prominent and/or obnoxious locations. DATE: Very likely around late 1981 to early 1982.The timing of this item's creation would be determined by when the band went forward exclusively with this particular variant of 'blackletter font' as a branding logo for all their flyers. One flyer, an appearance of Caustic Cause at the Grandia Room on Melrose, is known having the brand, dated August 11, 1982, whereas the flyer for their show at Bard's Apollo on July 4, 1981, does not have it.That Independence Day gig does have the important factor of its central art theme being the helmeted skull appearing out of a nuclear mushroom cloud, extremely similar and nearly identical to the one utilized on this item.The specific answer to the question of how and when the item in this listing was created lies somewhere in between those dates, and could be a fine point of research for future scholars. CONDITION: Very Good Plus or better -Overall handling, wear and age, slight wrinkling, exposed back edges where backing sheet has shifted or shrunk have picked up detritus.Top rear left corner stained, top rear right corner with approx. 1" downward tear in backing sheet. The bottom rear right corner area has a similar short tear, but was also at one time peeled back, and the former stickiness has been neutralized for a couple of square inches. EXTREMELY TRIVIAL NOTE: One scan of the front image provided is a bitmap [.bmp], the other one is a portable network graphic [.png], while the back image is a regular joint photographic experts group [.jpg].The reason for this is because there is something about the surface of the image that made it impossible to scan in .jpg! Don't know why - the scanner refused to produce a savable image. Never have seen that happen before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Please view carefully all photographic scans included, which are of the actual item(s) in the listing -These are an important part of the description.
