1967 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - ABSOLUTELY FREE - FIRST USA MONO PRESSING LP WITH THE FOLD-OUT ALBUM COVER. INSIDE ON THE LEFT PANEL IS THE FAMOUS WHAT SOME PEOPLE CALL BLURB THAT INFORMS PEOPLE THAT IF THEY WERE TO SEND MONEY TO A PO BOX IN LOS ANGELES , YOU WOULD GET SENT A COPY OF THE LIBRETTO WITH ALL OF THE WORDS ON THIS ALBUM AND EVEN WHO IN THE BAND SAID EM' WITH A FOREWORD BY FRANK ZAPPA. YOU COULD ALSO REQUEST A FREAK OUT HOT SPOTS MAP WHICH THEY SAY THEY HAVE A FEW LEFT. ON THE BACK COVER FRANK TRIED TO SNEAK IN THE WORDS "WAR MEANS WORK FOR ALL" WHICH SOME RECORD EXECUTIVE AT VERVE TRIED TO DARKEN SO NOBODY WOULD SEE IT - INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL VERVE RECORDS INNER SLEEVE TOO - VERVE RECORDS V-5013. NOW AS I HAD PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS IS A MONO COPY. SO I BET THERE'S SOMEBODY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW SCRATCHING THEIR OVERSIZED RONDO HATTON BEMIS HEAD MUMBLING: YEAH SO WHAT? WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT A MONO PRESSING? HUH? WELL LARRY, IT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE ACTUALLY SOME GEEZERS WHO CLAIM THAT YOU CAN BETTER HEAR ALL THE STUFF FRANK LAYERD ON THIS RECORDING IN MONO THAN IN STEREO AS SOME OF THE STUFF GETS BURIED IN THE STEREO MIX. BUT SOME OF THESE SAME GEEZERS CLAIM THAT BLACK AND WHITE TV IS BETTER THAN COLOR. HOWEVER THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1967 MONO MIX AND NOT ANY OF THE REMASTERED VERSIONS WHICH NOT ONLY GEEZERS SAY IS POOT. VISUALLY THIS IS A NICE LOOKING MONO RECORD. A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS AND SMALL HAIRLINES. ONE OF THE BETTER ONES I'VE SEEN. HOWEVER THERE ARE 2 SKIPS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST SONG ON SIDE 2 AMERICA DRINKS. I TRIED TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE SKIPS, EVEN SLOWED THE SPEED DOWN BUT THERE'S NOTHING THERE THAT I SEE THAT COULD CAUSE THEM. NO DEEP GROOVE SCRATCH IN FACT THERE'S NONE ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE VINYL. MUST BE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN THOSE GROOVES WHEN THEY PRESSED. THE REST OF THE RECORD PLAYS GREAT. A TINY BIT OF BACKGROUND NOISE IN PLACES BUT NOTHING NOT EXPECTED ON A 55 YEAR OLD RECORD. A NICE HEAVIER 60'S PRESSING. THE ORIGINAL VERVE RECORDS INNER SLEEVE DOESN'T HAVE SEAM SPLITS. JUST SOME WRINKLES AND YELLOWING. HOWEVER YOU WON'T NEED TO STORE THIS RECORD BACK IN THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE ANYWAY AS IT COMES IN A COOL VINTAGE PLASTIC LINED ANTI-STATIC RECORD SLEEVE. HEAVY CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER HAS A COPLE OF INCHES SEAM SPLIT ON THE BACK BOTTOM SEAM NEAR THE RECORD SLOT. SOME SEAM SPLITS ON THE FRONT TOP ABOVE WHERE IT SAYS MOTHERS. THE FRONT DOESN'T HAVE A RECORD SLOT. THEY JUST PUT TWO PIECES OF CARDBOARD TOGETHER AND GLUED IT WITH AN ALBUM SLICK. THERE'S A LITTLE YELLOWING, CORNER BUMPS AND JUST GENERAL WEAR. BUT OVERALL IT'S STILL LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND JUDGE IT YO'SELF. THE LIBRETTO IS LIKE I SAID A COPY, NOT THE ORIGINAL. BUT YOU CAN STILL READ THE LYRICS AND SING RIGHT ALONG AT YOUR NEXT BONGO PARTY OR WEENY ROAST AND YOU JUST MIGHT WANNA BE CAREFUL ABOUT WITH WHOM YOU'RE SINGING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS. OK LARRY?     

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES MITCH MILLER LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL? YEAH, IF YOU'RE A DINOSAUR GEEZER YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, HE HAD THAT SING ALONG WITH MITCH TV SHOW. WELL NOT ONLY WAS HE SCARY LOOKING, BUT HE WAS AN A&R MAN FOR MERCURY AND COLUMBIA RECORDS. THAT'S RIGHT, HE WAS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE AND HE HATED ROCK 'N' ROLL. IN 1958 HE SAID "ROCK 'N' ROLL IS MUSICAL BABY FOOD. IT IS THE WORSHIP OF MEDIOCRITY, BROUGHT ABOUT BY A PASSION OF CONFORMITY". HUH? THEY SAY HE WAS BORN IN 1911 AND CROAKED IN 2010, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE, NOW CHECK THIS OUT: A FEW YEARS AGO THEY FOUND SOME OLD PAPYRUS SCROLLS IN SOME CAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHEN THEY DECIPHERED THEM, TO THEIR AMAZEMENT THEY DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THE DEVIL WOULD RETURN AS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE. HEY, THEY WERE WEARING SANDALS AROUND BACK THEN AND RECORDS DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. SO HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT? NOW THE GOVERNMENTS BEEN TRYING TO KEEP IT QUIET, THEY DON'T WANNA CREATE A WORLD WIDE PANIC. BESIDES, I HEAR THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CHECK OUT IF MITCH REALLY DID CROAK, OR IF HE'S STILL LURKING AROUND SOMEWHERE. SO ROCK 'N' ROLL MIGHT NOT REALLY BE SATAN'S MUSIC, AND YEZ BETTER BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO YEZ SING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS. OK LARRY?
