This is an Australian press kit for the 1968 tour of Australia. Pictured on the far left is the outer cover with the dates of the tour, January 19-27, 1968. Next is a list of the dates on the tour, basically a handbill for the entire tour. In the middle is an incredible promo handbill for their current LP, Sell Out. The other two items are the obligatory bio on each band member. Also included but not shown is a postcard with their entire discography on it. All in all, a fantastic link to that infamous tour.
