TOP 40 HIT IS PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER INNER SLEEVE. SO NOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SING THE SONG "VALLEY GIRL", AND UNLIKE YOUR SLOBBERING DRUNK FRIEND SING THE LYRICS CORRECTLY. LET ME TELL YA', FRANK WOULDA' APPRECIATED THAT, AND SPEAKING OF SINGING ALONG, YEZ JUST MIGHT WANNA WATCH WHO YOU'RE SINGING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS - BARKING PUMPKIN RECORDS PROMO LABELS AS 1485 - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS, AND IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO DO SOME SINGING ALONG, YEZ JUST MIGHT WANNA READ THE CRUD BELOW - 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? 

THE PHOTO IS THE ORIGINAL GLOSSY BARKING PUMPKIN RECORDS PROMO PHOTO, NOT A LASER PRINT OR COPY. IT'S OFTEN MISSING BECAUSE NOT MANY OF THESE PROMO ONLY PRESSINGS HAD ONE INCLUDED, AND THEY DO GET SEPARATED OVER THE YEARS. AS YOU CAN SEE SOMEBODY WROTE MOON IN THE WHITE BORDER EDGE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT. ALSO THERE'S SOME WRITING ON THE BACK THAT DOESN'T SHOW THRU. THIS IS A PRETTY RARE PROMO PHOTO THOUGH, SO YOU'LL LOVE IT ANYWAY.  

NO SEAM SPLITS, NO TAPE, NO WRITING ON THE ALBUM COVER. THERE'S AN AREA YOU CAN SEE ON THE FRONT COVER NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE A STICKER HAD OBVIOUSLY REMOVED. THE INNER SLEEVE WITH THE PRINTED HAS A SEAM SPLIT AND SOME WRINKLES, BUT YOU WON'T NEED TO SHOVE THE RECORD BACK IN THERE, BECAUSE A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE IS PROVIDED TO KEEP YOUR RECORD LOOKING SHARP FOR LONG AFTER YOU CROAK. SPEAKING OF THE RECORD IT PLAYS PERFECT. VISUALLY ALL I SEE IS ONE SCUFF / SURFACE MARK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHORT VERSION. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.... BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.  

YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY WHEN YOU PURCHASE THIS ITEM. SO NO LONGER WILL I GET TO HEAR DEM EXCUSES WHILE LAUGHING MY BEHIND OFF SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: "I FORGOT THAT THESE WERE VINYL RECORDS.THE LAST ONE THAT I PURCHASED GOT DAMAGED WHEN I TRIED TO CRAM IT INTO MY CD PLAYER","I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS RICCARDO ZAPPA. ISN'T FRANK ZAPPA THAT GUY WHO ALWAYS LIKED TO SIT ON TOILETS OR SOMETHING?","AFTER CONSULTING WITH MY WIFE, WHO SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TO STICK MY BALLS IN A VICE IF I PURCHASED JUST ONE MORE FRANK ZAPPA RECORD, I DECIDED TO PLAY IT SMART AND BUY AN APRON, BROOM AND MOP FOR ME TO USE INSTEAD". EVEN IF SOME, IF NOT ALL OF THESE MISERABLE EXCUSES ARE TRUE. COMBINED SHIPPING IS AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE AND CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS, HOWEVER IN TRYING TO KEEP IN STEP WITH ALL OF THOSE BIG TIME SELLERS, THAT WANNA MAKE EVEN THE SMALLEST THING A HASSLE, AND THE FACT THAT YOU PROBABLY DESERVE MORE GRIEF IN YOUR LIFE THAN YOU'RE CURRENTLY GETTING, YOU'LL NEED TO READ THE FINE PRINT FIRST: TO QUALITY FOR COMBINED SHIPPING, A PERSON NEEDS TO MEET AND / OR EXCEED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS: YOU NEED TO HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM ME, NOT ONE ITEM FROM ME, AND A HELEN REDDY ALBUM FROM SOME WOMAN NAMED JOE. YOU NEED TO HAVE PAID FOR THOSE ITEMS WITH A PAYMENT RECEIVED BY ME, NOT ONE PAYMENT FOR ONE ITEM MADE TO ME, AND THEN YOU GO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR MONEY ON A HOOKER IN SOME SEEDY MOTEL. YOU MUST NOT BE NOW, NOR HAVE EVER BEEN, AND MUST PROMISE THAT IN THE FUTURE NEVER TO BE: CAUGHT SLOBBERING DRUNK AT THE PALOMINO, THEREFORE RECEIVING UP TO, AND INCLUDING 30 DAYS IN SAN BER'DINO. NUISANCE DILLHOLE OR DILLWEED. LARRY'S MOTHER. THE GUY WHO RECENTLY HAD THE UNMITIGATED AUDACITY TO TELL ME THAT HE WAS OFFENDED BY ONE OF MY LISTINGS, AND THAT I SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF. ..
