FRANK ZAPPA - HOT RATS - INCLUDES CAPTAIN BEEFHEART [ DON VAN VLIET ] - VOCALS ON WILLIE THE PIMP - VINYL RECORD LP - BIZARRE RECORDS WHITE LABEL PROMO WITH THE ORIGINAL BIZARRE / STRAIGHT RECORDS PROMO PHOTO THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THIS LP ALSO THE ORIGINAL BIZARRE RECORDS INNER SLEEVE - BIZARRE - RS - 6356.

THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE PROMO LP WHICH INCLUDED THE PHOTO WHICH WAS SENT OUT IN OCTOBER 1969 BY WARHER BROS. TO RADIO STATIONS AND A FEW SELECT RECORD STORES TO PROMOTE THE HOT RATS LP. [ RELEASE DATE 10-15-69 ].

THE CARDBOARD GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME SLIGHT RING WEAR ON THE BACK AS WELL AS SOME LIGHT WEAR WHICH CAN BE SEEN MOSTLY NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. THE FRONT COVER JUST HAS GENERAL WEAR BUT NO RING WEAR. BASICALLY THIS COVER IS IN NICE SHAPE FOR BEING AROUND SINCE 1969, VG CONDITION OVERALL. IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BIZARRE RECORDS INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS A SEAM SPLIT IN THE CENTER ON THE BOTTOM SEAM BUT IS JUST SPLIT IN THE CENTER, NOT ALL THE WAY ACROSS, SLIGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THE SLEEVE, AGAIN, BASICALLY IN NICE SHAPE I'VE SEEN MUCH WORSE INNER SLEEVES. THE RECORD COMES AND HAS BEEN HOUSED IN FOR YEARS IN A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE OVER THE ENTIRE COVER.

THE VINYL RECORD LP HAS SOME OF WHAT APPEAR TO BE PAPER SCUFFS ON BOTH SIDES. I LOOKED AT BOTH SIDES UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB AND THOSE ARE PAPER SCUFFS, NOT SCRATCHES [ MHICH MEANS NO REAL INDENTATION IN THE VINYL ], THERE MAY BE A FAINT SURFACE MARK ON SIDE 2, BUT IT COULD BE A PAPER SCUFF AS WELL, BASICALLY THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL IS A NICE VG+ AND I CAN'T SPEND HOURS LOOKING FOR SURFACE MARKS THAT I THINK SHOULD BE THERE WITH AN LP THAT OLD AND NOT REALLY FINDING ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT.

FINALLY THERE'S THE ORIGINAL 8 X 10 INCH GLOSSY PROMO PHOTO THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THIS LP IN 1969. THIS ISN'T A REPRINT OR LASER COPY OR WHATEVER ELSE THAT THEY ARE DOING THESE DAYS. IT HAS A CREASE IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER EDGE. THIS PHOTO HAS THE STRAIGHT AND BIZARRE RECORDS LOGOS PRINTED IN  THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER AS WELL AS THE ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER OF BIZARRE / STRAIGHT INC. ON SUNSET BLVD. IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. NOT MUCH YELLOWING ON THE BACK JUST SOME INDENTATIONS SOME OF WHICH CAN BE SEEN ON THE FRONT OF THE PHOTO. IF YOU WERE TO SEE THIS PHOTO IN PERSON IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS TO YOU THAT IT'S REAL.
