We are pleased to offer the very FIRST example of this super EARLY LOWELL GEORGE original poster to ever appear in our auction! It was designed by Evelyn Berdel and printed by Double-H Press in San Francisco to promote the late great Lowell George's first band The Factory in April 1967! If you are as much of a Little Feat fan as we are here at PAE you’ll share our appreciation for the historical significance of this lot!

 

This early poster is extremely difficult to find and very seldom surfaces for collectors. The run of shows took place at 7853 Fay in La Jolla California and Unicorn provided the light show. Lowell George formed The Factory in 1965 who also appeared on the TV show F Troop as "The Bedbugs". George then had a brief tenure with Frank Zappa and the Mothers before going on to form Little Feat in late 1969. This scarce piece is in SUPER CLEAN condition free of tears or pinholes! Who knows when the next time we’ll see another example surface.?.
