WARNING!!! WARNING!!! THE FISH PICTURED ON THE FRONT COVER OVER DON'S FACE IS A STINKIN' CATFISH AND NOT EVEN A TROUT. THAT FISH WAS PURCHASED BY ALBUM COVER ARTIST CAL SCHENKEL AT THE FAIRFAX MARKET BEFORE THE PHOTO SHOOT OF THE ALBUM COVER. I HEARD THAT FISH REALLY DID STINK AND DON WORE IT ON HIS HEAD FOR A TOTAL OF 6 HOURS DURING THE LP PHOTO SHOOT.  

YES LORENZO IT'S TRUE, I'VE BEEN THE LIFE OF MANY PARTIES THAT I'VE NEVER ATTENDED. IF I WERE TO STICK MY FOOT UP YOUR CAVERNOUS BEHIND YOU'D FEEL A STRONG URGE TO THANK ME. THINGS THAT SMELL LIKE FISH HAVE ACTUALLY NAMED A WEEK AFTER ME. I'M REV. A. WEST, AND I'M THE GREATEST LIVING FRANK ZAPPA SELLER KNOWN TO MANKIND. SO NOW DIG THIS: I DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO MUSIC, BUT WHEN I DO I PERFER FRANK ZAPPA AND ONCE IN A WHILE CAPTAIN BEEFHEART. DON'T LET YER MEAT LOAF MY FRIEND.

NICE HEAVY CARDBOARD GATEFOLD ALBUM COVER . SOME LIGHT RING WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS BUT VERY LITTLE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. ABOUT AN INCH AND 1/2 SEAM SPLIT ON THE TOP BACK SEAM BY THE RECORD SLOT. NO BIG DEAL. NO TAPE. NO WRITING. SEE PHOTOS.

BOTH RECORDS PLAY GREAT, I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING ANY UNUSUAL SURFACE NOISE ON EITHER ONE OF THE RECORDS AND I PLAYED EVERY RECORD COMPLETELY THRU ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP AND THEN AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE SO IF THERE'S ANY SONIC PROBLEMS I'D BE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW. ALL RECORDS HAVE A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE USUALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE RECORDS EVEN THOSE AUDIOPHILE PRESSINGS. BUT I JUST PLAYED IT AND IF SOMEBODY TOLD ME THAT THSE RECORDS WERE PRESSED LAST YEAR I'D BELEIVE IT. SO WHEN I MOVED ALL FOUR SIDES OF THESE RECORDS UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS ONE SMALL LIGHT SCUFF ON SIDE TWO AND 3 OR 4 LIGHT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS ON SIDE THREE WERE ALL I FOUND. . LIKE I TOLD YEZ, THESE RECORDS PLAY GREAT. THAT PIECE OF PAPER WITH THE COPY F THE BEEFHEART PROMO PHOTO IS INCLUDED. ALSO BOTH RECORDS COME IN HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES. .
