Frank Zappa - 1982 European Tour – Poster originale - 1980s

** Reserve price 49 euros ** Original promotional poster dedicated to Frank Zappa’s 1982 European tour, linked to the album Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch. The graphics directly echo the album’s iconic visual language: the large black geometric sign of the “ship,” the white background, the blue stripe, and two photographic images of Frank Zappa placed within the composition. At the top appears the name ZAPPA, while at the bottom the title is listed: “Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch” and the wording: “1982 EUROPEAN TOUR” The poster also features production and copyright credits, including: - photographs by Guido Harari - illustration taken from Drowning Witch - reference to Roger Price - logo/indication of merchandising This is original promotional material from the era, not a modern reprint. Conditions The poster shows obvious signs of use and preservation compatible with its age: - horizontal and vertical folds - paper warping - small marks and superficial abrasions - some imperfections along the edges - small tears and localized wear - adhesive tape on the back - a small tear/abrasion on the top edge The graphics remain complete, legible, and visually striking nonetheless. All defects are documented in the detailed photographs and form an integral part of the description.
