HERE'S THE RARE NEW ZEALAND VERSION OF THIS LP THAT WHEN FIRST RELEASED BY WARNER BROS. WASN'T REALLY AUTHORISED BY FRANK ZAPPA AND THIS RECORD, PLUS A COUPLE OF OTHERS RESULTED IN A LAWSUIT THAT FRANK EVENTUALLY WON WITH WARNER BROS. RECORDS. THE FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS RECORD IS THAT IT HAS " MARKETED BY WEA RECORDS LIMITED P.O.

RECORDS INC. - A SUBSIDIARY AND LICENSEE OF WARNER BROS. - SEVEN ARTS " PRINTED ON BOTH LABELS. THE KEY WORD IS " MARKETED " BY WEA RECORDS AND NOBODY SEEMED TO WANT TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MANUFACTURING IT. THIS RECORD WAS ACTUALLY PURCHASED FOR ME FROM A RECORD STORE IN ZEALAND AND FLOWN BACK HERE WITH THAT PERSON TO THE USA. IF I TOLD YOU WHO THE PERSON WAS THAT PURCHASED THIS RECORD FOR ME YOU'D LAUGH YER BUTT OFF SO I'LL PASS ON THAT.

THE CARDBOARD COVER WAS PRINTED BY IMAGE PRINTING AND HAS A LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THE FRONT AND BACK BUT NO REAL RING WEAR. A FEW SMALL LIGHT CREASES NEAR THE TOP AND A SQUARE AREA NEAR THE TOP ON THE BACK COVER WHERE A STICKER OR PRICE TAG MIGHT HAVE BEEN REMOVED. [ SEE PHOTO ].
