WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5 reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities. SO please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.
We have a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 2/3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule to Monday. We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.
As always, thank you for your support!
VERY RARE - NEVER OPENED - 10 LP BOX SET
Mothers Of Invention
The History And Collected Improvisations Of Frank Zappa & the Mothers Of Invention
ZX - 3651-3660
"Manufactured in R.O.K. under license from Mgm/Verve"
AMAZING STILL SEALED (never opened)
Original 10 Lp Box set ...limited & long long gone... rare... top Zappa/Mothers collectible
This is a 10 - LP box, with a 36-page (counting the cover) booklet called Ten Years on the Road with Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention (which may also have been sold separately?) consisting of reproductions of various newspaper, magazine and other articles. All records were also sold separately, each in a 100 only edition.
The title, of course, is that of a many-LP box Zappa planned in the early '70s. It never came out...
The front Box cover has six pictures of various Mothers line-ups from 1966-1973; the back has liner notes, song listings. Inside the box, the records are in plain white wrappers. They all have different label colours; the first two records are supposed to be dark blue and sky blue, respectively, but on some copies they are the same colour. On those copies, all other records also have "The History & Collected Improvisations" and "1962-1976" printed on the labels, along with side numbers - on other copies, they just have colour, no text.
