Carlos, one of the Teens and Twenties bread-and-butter acts, recently corresponded with Elinor Blake pka April March, who as The Shitbirds, covered their underground classic “Baby What’s New”.

I am meaning to pull from storage and then swede in my April March poster, designed by Meredith Megadeath (and then someday I will correct her name — came to SF from Chapel Hill, worked for the Bay Guardian…)
Bill Quarry’s website, http://www.teensntwenties.com/Photos.html, among other wonders, has a gallery of about 100 vintage posters. Another good article on Mr. Quarry, who still runs Minit Printing in San Leandro, at Collectors Weekly.
