Description
Two examples of the infamous poster – from a photo taken by Robert Davidson of Zappa on the loo in his hotel room at the Royal Garden Hotel London i.n 1967. What probably seemed like a harmless idea for publicity stun later became a frustration when the image adorned every headshop – and Zappa demanded the negatives back. The photo session was supposed to be a publicity shoot for the Mothers first British.concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 23rd September, 1967. The psychedelic border was added by Des Dale.
