The Mojo Men's only Top 40 hit, a cover of Buffalo Springfield's "Sit Down, I Think I Love You," had just entered Billboard magazine's Hot 100 this month. The same was true for Harpers Bizarre: Their only Top 20 hit, a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," had just entered Billboard this month. And the Chocolate Watchband were a psychedelic garage-rock band from nearby Los Altos who never broke through nationally, but were very popular in the Bay Area.

Measuring 14" x 20", this poster has been graded a mojo-working 10 Gem Mint by CGC (the Certified Guarantee Company). Originally from the KC Murphy Bindweed Press Collection, with Pedigree in the grading strip. COA from Heritage Auctions.
