12-8-69 - THE GTO'S - PERMANENT DAMAGE - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED IN CANADA BY THE COMPO COMPANY, LTD, LACHINE, QUEBEC, CANADA AND PRESSED ON FRANK ZAPPA'S STRAIGHT RECORDS LABEL - INCLUDES A XEROX COPY OF THE ORIGINAL 1969 STRAIGHT RECORDS PROMO PHOTO - STRAIGHT - STS-1059.

THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE CANADIAN PRESSING OF THIS FRANK ZAPPA PRODUCED CLASSIC LOOK INTO THE MINDS OF SOME WOMEN WHO USED TO HANG AROUND HIS HOUSE IN LAUREL CANYON IN THE LATE 60'S. MOST WERE SELF ADMITTED GROUPIES SUCH AS PAMELA DES BARRES WHO LATER WROTE SOME BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT MISS CHRISTINE WHO IS ALSO FEATURED ON THE COVER OF FRANK ZAPPA'S HOT RATS LP WAS A GIRLFRIEND OF ALCE COOPER AND MAY HAVE BEEN THE EARLY INSPIRATION FOR THE GROUP TO APPEAR IN DRAG, ANYTHING FOR A BUCK I GUESS. THERE ARE ACTUALLY SOME DECENT MUSICIANS ON THIS RECORD, MEMBERS OF THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION, ROD STEWART, JEFF BECK, LOWELL GEORGE AND FRANK EVEN PLAYS THE TAMBORINE ON ONE SONG. YOU PROBABLY KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS RECORD ANYWAY BUT IF YOU'RE A HARDCORE ZAPPA AND / OR STRAIGHT RECORDS COLLECTOR YOU NEED THIS CANADIAN PRESSING. IT NEVER DID COME WITH THE BOOKLET, I FACT THE ONLY COPIES THAT DID COME WITH THE BOOKLET WERE THE USA PRESSINGS BUT THIS CANADIAN COPY IS VERY RARE. THEY DIDN'T MAKE EVEN CLOSE TO AS MANY OF THIS RECORD IN CANADA AS THEY DID IN THE USA. THEY'RE TOO BUSY SPREADING MAPLE SYRUP ALL OVER AND PLOOKING EACH OTHER WAY UP THERE TO NOTICE MUCH ANYWAY.

THE GATEFOLD COVER IS MADE OUT OF HEAVY CARDBOARD [ REMEMBER THOSE? ]. THERE IS A DRILL HOLE THAT GOES THRU THE COVER IN THE TOP UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER. SOME WEAR ON THE FRONT, BUT NOT REALLY RING WEAR. THERE IS A SMALL SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF THE SPINE WHEN YOU OPEN THE COVER UP BUT IT STILL LOOKS OK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SPINE. THERE'S CLEAR TAPE ON THE BACK TOP SEAM WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHER TAPE REMOVED AT SOME POINT IN TIME, TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE OF GATEFOLD, THERE'S ALSO A PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE ON THE BOTTOM BACK SEAM NEAR THE EDGE. THE BACK COVER HAS SOME RING WEAR AND YOU CAN SEE THE CLEAR TAPE ON THE SEAMS BETTR THAN FROM THE INSIDE. I'VE INCLUDED A XEROX COPY OF THE STRAIGHT RECORDS ORIGINAL PROMO PHOTO, THIS PHOTO NEVER CAME WITH THIS RECORD BUT IT'S INCLUDED ANYWAY.

THE RECORD IS PRESSED ON HEAVY VINYL AND HAS SOME SURFACE MARKS AND SCUFFS ON BOTH SIDES.HOWEVER BOTH SIDES PLAY NICE WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE BUT STILL VERY ENJOYABLE. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
