Presenting the FIRST SIGNED CGC graded example of this Handbill to appear in our auction! This amazing Frank Zappa handbill features the Mothers at Pepperland with Tim Buckley and Kindred. The legendary Pepperland was a short-lived venue in the Marin County town of San Rafael that produced a series of excellent posters & handbills in the early 1970's. They don't often come up for sale and when they do they are generally conditionally challenged. This handbill is in Superb Museum Quality Condition!

 

Due to financial reasons in 1969 Zappa disbanded the Mothers of Invention lineup and released his acclaimed solo album "Hot Rats". In early 1970 he formed a new version of the Mothers which also added three members of The Turtles. They toured extensively that summer and into the fall including this run in San Rafael. Soonafter the new version of the Mothers debuted on Zappa's next solo album "Chunga's Revenge" released four months later.
