Artist: The Rats, Room 9, and Ministry of Love. Venue: The Metropolis – Portland, Oregon. Size: 10″ x 16″. Notes: 1984 Show Flyer – offset printed – red ink on white paper – NOT a reproduction – Nice George Orwell vibe with The Rats and Ministry of Love. Excellent condition – minimal wear and creasing from long term storage – part of an important Dead Moon related poster collection – stored flat since new. All are original print runs used to promote the corresponding events. None of the material has been reproduced by us and all has been authenticated. Many came directly from the artists who designed them (and who signed a good portion of the pieces available). Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Thank you for looking.

BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS: BERKELEY COMMUNITY THEATRE – SUNDAY, APRIL 12TH {1970} 8:00 P. JOHN SEBASTIAN – POCO – SUNDAY, APRIL 19TH 8:00 P. FRANK ZAPPA AND THE HOT RATS {IAN UNDERWOOD – AYNSLEY DUNBAR – JIM “MOTORHEAD” SHERWOOD – DON PRESTON – BILLY MUNDI – JEFF SIMMONS – RAY COLLINS, AND OF COURSE NOSETRADAMUS}- THIS BRIEF HOT RATS LINE-UP LASTED ONLY DURING APRIL AND MAY 1970 – BOZ SCAGGS – ORIGINAL HEAVY STYLE LIGHT CARDBOARD PAPER DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED BOXING STYLE, BUT IT’S A HEAVY TYPE OF PAPER 45 YEAR OLD ORIGINAL CONCERT POSTER – MORE LIKE CARDBOARD AND CERTAINLY CAN’T BE FOLDED WITHOUT DEVELOPING CREASES OR WORSE – {WILL BE SENT FLAT} – APROX. 13 1/2 X 20 1/2 INCHES CONCERTS POSTER — UNDISPLAYED – SEE THE PHOTOS THAT CAN BE ENLARGED. HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS, NOW AS YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE KNOWN, BUT IF NOT I’M HERE TO INFORM YOU, THAT THE BAND CALLED “FRANK ZAPPA AND THE HOT RATS” WAS ONLY AROUND FOR 2 MONTHS IN 1970. SHORTLY AFTER THOSE 2 MONTHS, RAY COLLINS, THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER OF THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION LEFT FRANK’S STERN EMPLOY FOR THE LAST TIME AND WAS REPLACED BY FLO + EDDIE FROM THE TURTLES. {MARK VOLMAN THE FAT GUY AND HOWARD KAYLAN THE BEARDED WEIRDO}. JIMMY CARL BLACK BY THIS TIME HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY AYNSLEY DUNBAR AND AFTER THIS LINE-UP BILLY MUNDI WAS OUT FOR GOOD TOO. JEFF SIMMONS STUCK AROUND TILL 1971, BUT QUIT WHEN THEY STARTED FILMING 200 MOTELS IN WHICH JIMMY CARL BLACK WAS BROUGHT BACK, BUT ONLY TO SING HIS NOW FAMOUS “LONESOME COWBOY BURT” SONG. NONE OF THAT REALLY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS BRIEF ZAPPA BAND LINE-UP. 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 40 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. 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 EASILY FIND OUT IF IT’S A RE-PRINT OR NOT. POSTERS IN SAN FRANCISCO. I REMEMBER WALKING UP THAT STEEP HILL TO THEIR STORE WHICH WAS NEAR THE TOP. NOWHERE TO PARK AROUND THERE ON THE STREET. THIS POSTER STORE’S SPECIAL TY WAS ORIGINAL CONCERT / MUSIC RELATED POSTERS AND REMEMBERING THEIR PRICES I PROBABLY ORIGINALLY PAID MUCH LESS THAN I’M ASKING FOR THIS ONE. A LIGHT CARDBOARD POSTER, THERE’S NO HOLES. THERE’S SOME LIGHT YELLOWING OF COURSE {HEY, THIS POSTER IS 40 YEARS OLD}. THE BACK IS WHITE AND THERE’S NOTHING WRITTEN BACK THERE OR ON THE FRONT. A LIGHT CREASE IN THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNERS. I’LL TELL YA, THIS POSTER IS IN NICE CONDITION. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS IF YEZ THINK I’M FOOLIN’. WILL BE SENT FLAT OF COURSE. {ABSOLUTELY NO MORE SALES TO FRANCE, RUSSIA , ITALY, SWINELAND, MOLDAVIA, VULGARIA, SLOBVARIA, THE RIPOFF REPUBLIC O R THE PILFER ISLANDS}.
