FIRST OF ALL LARRY, THE INSERTS ARE COPIES OF THE 1984 REPRINTED VERSIONS, WHICH ARE BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE 1968 VERSIONS EXCEPT FRANK ADDED HIS BARKING PUMPKIN RECORDS INFORMATION AND YEAR IN SMALL LETTERS AND NUMBERS. THEY WERE NEVER INCLUDED WITH THE YELLOW LABEL PROMO VERSION PRESSING. SO WHY DON'T YOU SEE THE 1968 ORIGINAL VERSIONS BEING SOLD WITH SOME COPIES OF THE RUBEN AND THE JETS ALBUMS. IS IT BECAUSE THEY GOT LOST? 

NO LARRY. NOW SOME PEOPLE, YES SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THESE INSERTS WERE INCLUDED WITH EVERY SINGLE FIRST U.S.A. STOCK COPY ALBUM EVER RELEASED BUT THAT'S NOT THE DEAL THAT WE'RE DEALING IN HERE. BECAUSE NOT ONLY WERE THE ORIGINAL INSERTS NEVER INCLUDED WITH THE STOCK COPIES, BUT THEY WERE ONLY INCLUDED WITH THE SPECIAL VERVE RECORDS WHITE LABEL PROMO LPS SENT TO RECORD STORES IN 1968 FOR IN STORE PLAY, AND WERN'T EVEN INCLUDED WITH THE 1968 VERVE RECORDS YELLOW LABEL DJ VERSION COPIES SENT TO RADIO STATIONS. HEY, THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER SEE 'EM BEING SOLD. YES, VERVE HAD A WHITE LABEL PROMO , AND A YELLOW LABEL PROMO VERSION SENT TO RADIO STATIONS . HERE'S ANOTHER FUN FILLED FACT, BY THE TIME THAT THE RUBEN AND THE JETS ALBUM WAS RELEASED HERE IN THE U.S.A., NO MONO COPIES, NOT EVEN THE PROMOS WERE IN MONO. IN FACT, THE ONLY TRUE MONO COPY OF RUBEN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN WAS THE U.K. FIRST PRESSING. OH YEAH, THE ORIGINAL U.K. PRESSINGS ALL HAD THE PREFIX VLP FOR MONO, AND SLVP FOR STEREO, AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES SOME OLD POOTER TRIES TO TELL YA' THAT THOSE VERVE SELECT ZAPPA ALBUMS ARE THE ORIGINAL U.K. PRESSINGS, DON'T BELIEVE HIM.   

ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDBOARD GATEFOLD COVER. SOME RING WEAR AND JUST REGULAR GENERAL 41 YEAR OLD ALBUM COVER WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK. HOWEVER INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD COVER WHICH CONTAINS THE LYRICS TO ALL OF THE SONGS AND CAL SCHENKEL ARTWORK, THERE'S VERY LITTLE WEAR WHICH MAKES EM' ACTING SHARP AND LOOKING COOL. A FEW INCHES SEAM SPLIT RIGHT IN THE CENTER ON THE TOP SEAM. I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN NOTICED IT IF I DIDN'T CHECK IT OUT AND YOU'LL LIVE THRU IT.   

THE RECORD PLAYED REAL NICE.  ACTUALLY VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE WHEN I PLAYED IN ON MY DENON TURNTABLE WITH MY DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE GROOVE AND IN SOME RARE INSTANCES ALLOWS THE LISTENER TO ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT HAD BEEN GOING ON WITH THE GROUPIES DURING THE RECORDING SESSION IN THE CONTROL BOOTH . VISUALLY MOVING BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS THERE'S ONLY SOME ULTRA LIGHT SCUFFS ON SIDE 1, AND A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND SCUFFS ON SIDE TWO. THE SURFACE MARKS THAT ARE ON THIS RECORD DIDN'T PRODUCE ANY POPS, CLICKS OR SKIPS AND LIKE I SAID ONLY A LITTLE LIGHT SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY GOOD FOR AN ORIGINAL 41 YEAR OLD PROMO ALBUM. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
