A. WEST, AND AM THE GREATEST LIVING ZAPPA SELLER KNOWN TO MANKIND. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL POSTER CONCERT POSTER OBTAINED BY ME IN A TRADE WITH SOME OTHER CRAZY OBSESSIVE ZAPPA FAN / COLLECTOR IN GERMANY IN THE EARLY 90'S. I REMEMBER TRADING WITH A ZAPPA COLLECTOR IN GERMANY, WHO HAD ACTUALLY ATTENDED VIRTUALLY EVERY GERMAN ZAPPA CONCERT KNOWN TO MANKIND, AND GRABBED POSTERS AND WHAT EVER ELSE THAT HE COULD GET HIS GRUBBY HANDS ON AT EACH EVENT. I MADE CONTACT WITH THIS GUY THRU A ZAPPA FANZINE. I ALSO REMEMBER TRADING A PILE OF MOTHERS OF INVENTION VERVE YELLOW AND WHITE LABEL PROMOS FOR POSTERS WHICH IS WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR. I COULD FIND AND HAD THOSE PROMOS AT THAT TIME, BUT FINDING ZAPPA CONCERT POSTERS FROM 1979 WAS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR SOMEBODY IN THE U.S.A. BACK THEN, SINCE E-BAY DIDN'T EXIST, AND MOST OF THE SELLERS IN GOLDMINE AND DISCOVERIES ONLY HAD U.S.A. POSTERS. YEAH, A FEW DID HAVE SOM FOREIGN POSTERS, BUT IN THE CASE OF VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM, EVEN THE U.S.A. ZAPPA CONCERT POSTERS, WERE SUPER EXPENSIVE. SELLERS LIKE THE " OLD HIPPIE " IN GOLDMINE, WOULD CHARGE A FORTUNE. HEY, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE COMPETITION BACK THEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EQUIVELENT PRICE IN TRADE WOULDA' BEEN NOW FOR THOSE MOTHER'S VERVE PROMO LPS, BUT THOSE WERN'T REALLY CHEAP BACK THEN EITHER. UNLIKE SOME ZAPPA CONCERT POSTERS THAT YOU SEE BEING LISTED VIRTUALLY EVERY SINGLE DAY ON E-BAY AS ORIGINALS, THEN AFTER SOME POOR SCHMUCK BUYS IT YOU SEE THE SAME ONE LISTED A FEW DAYS LATER, THIS POSTER IS ACTUALLY AN ORIGINAL PRINTING. LET ME TELL YA FOLKS FROM OVER 35 YEARS OF FRANK ZAPPA AND RELATED COLLECTING EXPERIENCE, WHEN THEY DID MAKE POSTERS TO PROMOTE ZAPPA CONCERTS, THEY USUALLY ONLY PRINTED OUT A HUNDRED OR SO, AND MANY OF THOSE WOUND UP NEVER EVEN BEING DISPLAYED. ACTUALLY JUST THROWN AWAY BY THE PEOPLE THAT WERE PAID TO HANG EM' UP. YES, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SOME PROMOTER HAS 20 OR 30 ORIGINAL ZAPPA POSTERS STILL STASHED AWAY IN HIS ATTIC, BUT HOW MANY TIMES DOES THAT REALLY HAPPEN?, AND THEN HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY EVER FINALLY DISCOVERED AND SOMEBODY DECIDES TO SELL EM? ALSO IN THE LATE 70'S AND 80'S WHEN RADIO WAS BIG, THE ADVERTISING BUDGETS OF PROMOTERS WERE SPENT MORE ON CONCERT RADIO SPOTS THAN PRINTING OUT POSTERS, MOST OF WHICH WERE RIPPED OFF HOURS AFTER THEY WERE DISPLAYED IN MOST CASES ANYWAY. BUT IN THE 80'S WHEN COLLECTING CONCERT POSTERS STARTED TO BECOME A HUGE EXPENSIVE INDUSTRY, MORE THEN BEATLES AND STONES POSTERS WERE RE-PRINTED, AND SELLERS WERE GETTING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOME OF EM'. SO NOW THOSE RE-PRINTS FROM THE 80'S HAVE HAD OVER 20 YEARS TO AGE AND EVEN LOOK OLD. THERE ARE EVEN SELLERS THAT ACTUALLY THINK THAT THEY'RE SELLING ORIGINAL POSTERS THAT THEY FOUND AT SOME GARAGE SALE FOR A NICKLE, BUT THEY'RE RE-PRINTS. THE REST OF THESE SELLERS EITHER KNOW OR SUSPECT THAT THEY'RE SELLING RE-PRINTS, BUT ARE JUST MONEY GRUBBING WEASELS THAT WON'T EVEN PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY VASELINE IN THEIR CORNHOLE PROCESS. YEAH, THERE'S NOBODY LIKE ERIC KING THAT'S WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT ZAPPA POSTERS EXCLUSIVELY, AND UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN TRADING AND COLLECTING ZAPPA POSTERS SINCE THE 60'S YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING. THERE ARE NO DISCOGRAPHIES OR CATALOGS OF ZAPPA POSTERS, OF COURSE THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE WHO DO SELL ORIGINAL POSTERS, BUT THEY TEND TO BE FROM THE 60'S, WHERE IF YOU DID HAVE A BOOK LIKE ERIC KING'S, YOU COULD EASILLY FIND OUT IF IT'S A RE-PRINT OR NOT. I'VE BEEN IN THE ZAPPA SCENE FOR OVER 35 YEARS NOW, AND WILL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU IF A POSTER THAT I'M SELLING IS AUTHENTIC OR NOT. BEAUTIFUL CONDITION ORIGINAL CONCERT POSTER. { I KNOW THAT I'M SELLING IT FOR LESS THAN IT'S REALLY WORTH, AND ORIGINAL ZAPPA CONCERT POSTERS WILL ONLY INCREASE IN PRICE, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT NOBODY'S REPRINTED }. THERE'S ABOUT A ONE INCH TEAR IN THE WHITE AREA ON THE LEFT EDGE. OTHER THAN THAT ONE THERE ARE NO OTHER TEARS. NO HOLES. NO TAPE STAINS. NO FOLDS. { THE LINE THAT YOU SEE ON THAT GUY'S FACE IS ACTUALLY PRINTED RIGHT THERE ON THE POSTER. A LIGHT CREASE IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER AND SOME YELLOWING ON THE BACK. NO YELLOWNG SPOTS OR STAINS. HEY, THIS MIGHT BE AS GOOD AS IT'LL GET WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONDITION OF THIS ULTRA RARE POSTER. IT MAY BE A LONG TIME IF EVER BEFORE YOU SEE THIS ONE FOR SALE AGAIN  IT'S NEVER BEEN REPRINTED EITHER. PAYMENT ONLY BY PAYPAL. $7.00 FOR PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING IN THE USA.
