Frank Zappa RARE Full Signature! Signed Autographed YAWYI Rare Clean Cuts LP

Description: Great price fot this incredible one-of-a-kind item. A radio promo LP for the album You Are What You Is on his Barking Pumpkin label with Mr. Zappa's inscription "Frank Zappa 1982" Full Zappa signatures, where he has signed his full name, are virtually non-existent. He always just signed things 'F. Zappa', even on checks. I have also never seen a signature of his where he has written the year. Due to my extreme paranoia about letting this out of my sight, it was not sent off for authentication. However, the leading expert in verifying musician autographs, Roger Epperson, kindly authenticated the signature for me from photographs. He is recognized as the worldwide authority on musician signature authentication. Also as a second (more important?) verification, Frank's former guitarist Mike Keneally is a friendly acquaintance of mine - he looked at it and to quote him, he said "That is absolutely Frank's signature." Of course there are many similar signature examples on the internet and ebay for comparison. Sadly it is pretty easy to spot fakes after examining a few of them. The jacket is in great condition. Back of jacket is plain white. The record looks like it has never been played. The record itself is a rare, highly sought-after Zappa collectible. It features banded versions of songs (spaces in-between tracks) with cleaned-up language that aren't available anywhere else. Currently one copy on Discogs for $60. So, it is nice that the vinyl is near-mint, or mint. Ships within contiguous 48 US states and Canada only due to overseas shipping concerns. Shipping is free by USPS Priority Mail, with signature delivery, and insurance coverage. Will be packaged securely so record does not shift around in transit and split the jacket.
