This ultra rare, Original First Printing Poster was designed by the legendary artist San Andreas Fault (Tad Hunter) to promote Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention at The Cheetah Club in Los Angeles / Venice California. The concert took place on June 28th 1968, with an additional two days of shows at the venue (Zappa's gigs in Seattle & Vancouver on the 29th and 30th were canceled). The historic Cheetah Club was one of the hottest places to play if you were an up & coming band in the late sixties. Frank Zappa discovered the Alice Cooper Band there in 1967 and signed them to his label. Buffalo Springfield and Pink Floyd also performed there. It's no secret posters from the Cheetah are highly sought after by collectors. This is the FIRST time this scarce poster is being offered in our auction! 

 

Condition: Paper loss, pinholes, stains on reverse, creases, tape residue and pulls on reverse.
