$

29

RELEASED OCTOBER 1969 - FRANK ZAPPA FEATURING CAPTAIN BEEFHEART VOCALS ON "WILLIE THE PIMP" - HOT RATS - THIS IS A 1970'S REPRISE RECORDS REISSUE LP - IT'S STILL THE ORIGINAL MIX THOUGH, NOT ONE OF THOSE 1980'S REMASTERED JOBS THAT SOME GEEZERS CLAIM IS POOT - REPRISE RECORDS STEAMBOAT LABEL - RS 6356. THIS IS A PRETTY INTERESTING PRESSING. IN THE DEAN WAX TRAIL-OFFS IS ON SIDE ONE: RS-1-6356-G2 #2 - SIDE TWO: RS-2-6356-G2 #3 ALSO ON BOTH TRAIL OFFS IN BLOCK LETTERS IS MOLDED INTO THE VINYL "MASTERED AT CAPITOL". I DON'T KNOW WHY WARNER BROS RECORDS OR ZAPPA WOULD GET THIS RECORD MASTERED AT CAPITOL RECORDS, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S ON THERE. THE RECORD LOOKS AND PLAYS PERFECT. NO SCRACTHES. NO HAIRLINES. DON'T SEE ANY SCUFFS EITHER. SO IF YOU WANT A NICE ORIGINAL MIX HOT RATS RECORD LOOK NO FURTHER. HOWEVER THE COVER IS A DIFFERENT STORY. I THINK THAT SOMEBODY ONCE HAD IT HANGING ON THEIR WALL OR SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME PIN HOLES IN THE TOP CORNERS AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. THERE'S ALSO TEARS OF THE SLICK ON THE FRONT AROUND THE EDGES WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE SOME TAPE WAS REMOVED. 3 OR 4 INCHS SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF THGE SPINE NOT TO MEANTION SOME RING WEAR AND A PARTIAL STICKER IN THE  UPPER RIGHT CORNER ON THE BACK. INSIDE IT'S NOT TOO BAD, BUT BASICALLY THE FRONT AND BACK ARE PRETTY BEAT UP. I WAS THINKING ABOUT JUST SELLING THE LP WITHOUT THIS COVER, BUT WTF, IT'S STILL NICE TO HAVE A COVER. IT COMES WITH A WARNER / REPRISE LOSS LEADERS ORDER FORMS INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS SOME CLEAR TAPE ON ONE OF THE SEAMS. HOWEVER YOU WON'T NEED TO STORE THE RECORD BACK IN THE ORIGINAL AS THE RECORD COMES IN A NICE COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH THE ALBUM ALSO COMES IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS. OK LARRY?
I GOTTA TELL YA' THOUGH, IF YOU KEEP ON BUYING ALL OF THAT ZAPPA AND RELATED STUFF YOU JUST MIGHT BE BUYING A STAIRWAY TO LARRY. BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU'LL START TO NOTICE THAT EVERYBODY, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU WILL START CALLING YOU LARRY. HOWEVER ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, IF YOU'VE BEEN BUYING A BUNCH OF ZAPPA NOW FOR A WHILE, CHANCES ARE THAT YOUR NAME IS ALREADY LARRY ANYWAY. SO YEZ PROBABLY DON'T HAVE MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT AND  CAN FORGET THAT I EVER MENTIONED IT. 

SIDE 1 POOTS FORTH: PEACHES EN REGAILA - WILLIE THE PIMP - SON OF MR GREEN GENES. 

SIDE 2 OOZES OUT: LITTLE UMBRELLAS - THE GUMBO VARIATIONS - IT MUST BE A CAMEL.
