1982 - FRANK ZAPPA - SHIP ARRIVING TOO LATE TO SAVE A DROWNING WITCH - ORIGINAL U.K. PRESSING - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS FIRST SOLD IN THE U.K. IT INCLUDED A FREE LIVE 7" FRANK ZAPPA 3 SONG E.P. WHICH IS INCLUDED - ALSO INCLUDES THE U.K. SONG LYRICS INSERT... BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE...., BECAUSE WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS SEALED, THERE WAS A PROMO FREE DISC WRAP AROUND STICKER OVER THE RECORD ON TOP THE SHRINK WRAP. SO MOST PEOPLE WOULD REMOVE THE SHRINK TEARING THE STICKER AWAY FROM THE RECORD SLOT TO REMOVE THE LP. BUT HERE SOMEBODY ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO THE REMOVE THE STICKER WITHOUT TEARING IT AND WRAPPED IT AROUND THE ORIGINAL U.K. INNER SLEEVE. SO YOU GET EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN ORIGINALLY INCLUDED WITH THIS ALBUM WHEN IT WAS SEALED - THE RECORD IS: CBS RECORDS LABEL - 85804 - THE FRANK ZAPPA E.P. IS: CBS RECORD WHITE LABEL XPS 147 - THE INSERT CONTAINS ALL OF THE LYRICS TO THE SONGS, INCLUDING HIS ONLY U.S.A. TOP 40 HIT EVER "VALLEY GIRL" WITH HIS DAUGHTER MOON. SO NOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SING ALONG WITH THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM, AND UNLIKE YOUR SLOBBERING DRUNK FRIENDS SING THEM CORRECTLY. LET ME TELL YA', FRANK WOULDA' APPRECIATED THAT, AND SPEAKING OF SINGING ALONG, YEZ JUST MIGHT WANNA BE CAREFUL WITH WHOM YOU'RE SINGING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS- CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS - 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?

SIDE ONE OF THE LP POOTS FORTH: NO NOT NOW - VALLEY GIRL - I COME FROM NOWHERE.

SIDE TWO OF THE LP OOZES OUT: DROWNING WITCH - ENVELOPES - TEEN-AGE PROSTITUTE.

SIDE A OF THE E.P. WIPES UP: SHUT UP 'N PLAY YER GUITAR.

SIDE B OF THE E.P. FLUSHES DOWN: VARIATIONS ON THE CARLOS SANTANA SECRET CHORD PROGRESSION - WHY JOHNNY CAN'T READ.

THE ALBUM COVER HAS SOME YELLOWING, LIGHT RING WEAR AND AN IMPORT INDENTATION ON THE FRONT. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO TAPE. NO WRITING. THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE HAS SOME YELLOWING, BUT ALSO ACTUALLY NO SEAM SPLITS. BESIDES, IF YEZ BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE, I JUST MIGHT GIVE YEZ BRAND NEW HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVES FOR BOTH THE RECORD AND E.P. THE SONG LYRICS INSERT HAS A FEW YELLOWING SPOTS TOO. NO TEARS.

BOTH SIDES OF THE LP AND E.P. PLAYED PERFECT, WHEN I PLAYED EM' ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. THEY PLAYS THE EXACT WAY THEY WOULDA' PLAYED HAD YOUR BEHIND PURCHASED THEM IN 1982. VISUALLY IF YOU PUT ON YOUR COKE BOTTLE GEEZER STYLE READING GLASSES A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS ON SIDE 2 OF THE RECORD. I'M NOT EVEN SURE THEY'RE SCUFFS, MAYBE NORMAL VINYL AGE WEAR OR SMUDGES. THE E.P. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. ONE MICROSCOPIC SCUFF ON THE B SIDE YOU PROBABLY WOULDA' NEVER SEEN IF I DIDN'T TELL YA. SO LIKE I SAID, IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONIGHT I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE FOR EACH RECORD ABSOLUTELY FREE. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.... BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M ALSO GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR EACH RECORD 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?","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. ..
