Speculation. If you look at the back of IT there were one or 2 poster companies like Splash posters a guy called Pete Townsend selling silksceen posters for the freak market, somebody with access to silk screen could well be splashing out on this poster in the light of the 3rd LP, also Arts Labs were emerging and they regularly made silk screen posters for gigs, just like at Aston University, Birmingham Teacher Training College, and Mothers Club in Erdington who made posters just of bands just to sell as well as gig posters. Also there is nothing to stop a Soft Machine fan to make this poster whilst on an Arts Course. Unless you have evidence that it was linked to the band and management then a missing corner of your poster is not proof that there could have been some credit line writ upon. Now I do know Daevid Allen designed a Soft Machine poster in 1966 for a gig in Deptford. I have a picture somewhere. I know it is him, because it could not be anyone else.
