John Entwistle: "We were taking it in turns to do the covers. It was Pete's turn before me and we did the Quadrophenia cover, which cost about the same as a small house back then, about 16,000 pounds. My cover cost 32 pounds."

The Vulcan Gas Company (1967 - 1970) was Austin Texas's legendary underground venue, with some of the best psychedelic concert posters of the 60s. Produced in small quantities with no reprintings (unlike their San Francisco counterparts) this poster is rare. Gilbert Shelton went on to draw the Fabulous Fury Freak Brothers comix. Distinctive artwork for an incongruous bill typical of the period.

Original promo poster, 30"x20".
Design by Hapshash and the Coloured Coat (Michael English and Nigel Waymouth), printed by Osiris Visions.
Commissioned by International Times to design posters for their underground UFO club on London's Tottenham Court Road, Michael English and Nigel Waymouth were true creative originals, on a par with San Francisco's famous Family Dog collective. Pink Floyd's UFO performances before a sympathetic audience helped cement an increasing popularity. A week later, their first album 'Piper At The Gates of Dawn' was released.
Vintage originals of this poster are very scarce. Beware fakes.
