A unique signed piece from rock legend Frank Zappa, this pressing of Zappa's 1967 album "Lumpy Gravy" was gifted directly from Zappa to musician Bill Kurasch. Kurasch was a member of the collective of session based musicians in Los Angeles known as the "Wrecking Crew". He was brought in early in the sessions for the album, helping to rehearse the material and work out arrangements. As a thank you, Zappa gave the album to Kurasch once it was released, signed on the inside gatefold "Thank you Bill, doing me the favor of rehearsing this material. Frank Zappa". The cover is overall in fine condition with moderate surface rubbing. Accompanied by a letter from Bill Kurasch's son, from whom the album was originally obtained.
