Description

FRANK ZAPPA - DOUBLE DYNAMITE - HOT RATS / CHUNGA'S REVENGE - 2 LP VINYL COMPILATION SET - NON FOLDOUT COVER - MANUFACTURED BY TEAL RECORD COMPANY IN ZIMBABWE AND PRESSED ON THE REPRISE RECORDS WHITE STEAMBOAT LABEL - REPRISE - RRD - 11707.

THIS COMPILATION IS ONE OF THE RAREST ZAPPA 12" VINYL RECORD SETS IN THE WORLD AND IN MY OPINION COULD BE THE RAREST STOCK RELEASE, [ EXCLUDING TEST PRESSINGS AND ACETATES WHICH ARE NOT STOCK ISSUES ANYWAY ]. THESE DOUBLE DYNAMITE COMPILATION REISSUES OF THE HOT RATS AND CHUNGA'S REVENGE LPS WERE ONLY PRESSED IN GERMANY, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE. THE MOST COMMON OF THESE 4 RELEASES IS PROBABLY THE SOUTH AFRICAN RELEASE AND EVEN THAT ONE IS RARE BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS. IN MY 30 YEARS OF ZAPPA RECORD COLLECTING I'VE ONLY SEEN THIS FOR SALE ONE TIME, AND I PURCHASED IT OF COURSE, THIS IS FROM MY PRIVATE COLLECTION. YES, THIS WAS REALLY MADE IN ZIMBABWE AND HAS THE NON FOLDOUT COVER, WHERE AS THE OTHER THREE RELEASES ALL HAVE FOLDOUT COVERS. THE REPRISE WHITE STEAMBOAT LABELS ARE NOT PROMO LABELS, THIS 2 LP RECORD SET IS STOCK AND HAS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THESE REPRISE WHITE STOCK LABELS THAT I'VE EVER SEEN. HERE'S WHAT I SAY, IF YOU COLLECT ZAPPA RECORDS AND YOU DON'T TRY TO WIN THIS ONE YOU MAY AS WELL QUIT COLLECTING ZAPPA IF YOU THINK THAT YOU'LL EVER COME CLOSE TO FINDING THEM ALL BECAUSE I'M ALMOST CERTAIN THAT YOU'LL NEVER SEE THIS PRESSING FOR SALE AGAIN. OF COURSE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, BUT IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT GEORGE BUSH WOULD KISS HILLARY CLINTON THAN YOUR CHANCES OF EVER SEEING THIS PRESSING AGAIN.

THE COVER HAS SOME YELLOWING, A RECORD INDENTATION, A SMALL TEAR ACROSS THE SPINE AREA IN THE LOWER PORTION, SOME CREASES, [ ETC. ]. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THIN PAPER COVERS AND HAS PLENTY OF DEFECTS, HOWEVER YOU CAN STILL READ ALL OF THE STUFF THAT'S PRINTED ON IT AND IT'S REALLY A UNIQUE COVER. THE RECORDS COME INSIDE OF COLLECTORS TYPES OF INNER SLEEVES AND EACH RECORD IS ALSO STORED INSIDE OF A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE ORIGINAL COVER. ALL OF THIS WILL OF COURSE BE INCLUDED WITH THIS ITEM.

BOTH OF THE RECORDS ARE PRESSED ON HEAVY VINYL AND D. BURDEN WAS THE IDIOT WHO WROTE HIS NAME IN A WHITE AREA ON ALL OF THE LABELS.

HOT RATS SIDE ONE HAS A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND HOT RATS SIDE TWO HAS MORE VISABLE SURFACE MARKS BUT NO SKIPS, PLAYS THRU WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE.

CHUNGA'S REVENGE SIDE THREE HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND CHUNGA'S REVENGE SIDE FOUR ALSO HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND WHAT LOOK LIKE A COUPLE OF PAPER SCUFFS., AGAIN BOTH SIDES PLAY THRU WITH NO SKIPS JUST SOME SURFACE NOISE.

PAYMENT BY PAYPAL OR MONEY ORDER IN US DOLLARS.

PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF AUCTION END OR I MIGHT START YELLING LIKE TARZAN OR SOMETHING. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO FEED YOUR MONKEY YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BID.
