1978–Knebworth House-Frank Zappa—PAE graded Excellent 79

This auction features several lots from the collection of long time Frank  Zappa associate Coy Featherstone. Featherstone is listed as the assistant engineer on Zappa’s  “One Size Fits All” album. He was also the lighting director on Zappa’s touring crew for several decades. 

The consigner of these posters discovered them after purchasing the contents of an abandoned storage unit. This is a  once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase very scare posters from the career of one of the greatest composers and producers of the 20^th century.

The Knebworth Festival was one of the great  Rock Festivals ofthe UK.  This poster is a truly scarce promotional poster from the 1978 festival.. It is not one of the commercial poster sold at the event. The poster is an amazing find.  We have never seen another copy like this. Not only is it a Zappa poster but it also announces  appearances of Peter Gabriel The Tubes and Rockpile the short-lived super group that featured Nick Lowe and Dave Edmonds !
