Description

I am parting with some of my treasured LPs.  Here's a great record, one of my personal favorite Zappa LPs. It's from 1976, and is the last record he did on the Warner Brothers label (besides the 3 LPs he dumped on the market to get out of his contract; Sleep Dirt, Studio Tan, and Orchestral Favorites.).  
This is a great LP, showcasing all of Zappa's talents.  Black Napkins is an amazing guitar solo that stands as one of the best of his career.  The song Zoot Allures is also an amazing guitar piece. Humorous songs like Wind up working in a gas station, and Disco Boy are great one's, and The Torture Never Stops shows the more experimental side of his work. The cover shows a small amount of ringwear, and some overall  wear, as this was an LP that was played and enjoyed, but taken care of.  The LP shows no spindle wear at all.  It's fully glossy with one visible hairline and a couple fingerprints on one side.  There is a small bubble in the vinyl on one side that does not affect play at all.  The LP plays NM, and sounds great.
 Classic Zappa!!

I love original pressings because I feel every LP is of it's time and place. The vinyl, and record pressings are all from that moment in time, and no re-pressing or re-mastering will ever make the sound better for me.  PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LPS FOR SALE NOW ON EBAY.  I AM POSTING SOME TREASURES.  SOME ARE RARE AND COLLECTIBLE, AND OTHERS ARE JUST GREAT ALBUMS LIKE THIS ONE IS.
SS    = (STILL SEALED) The record itself is in brand new condition, assumed never to have been played.

M      = (MINT)  The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, 
booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

M -    = (MINT MINUS)  MINT- is not MINT but is very close to it, near new, there might be a blemish or two, but overall record and jacket are like new or very close to new.

EX     = (EXCELLENT)  The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight 
wear and / or creasing. 

VG    = (VERY GOOD)  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the
occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G      = (GOOD)  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and 
contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

F       = (FAIR)  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will 
be torn, stained and / or defaced.

P       = (POOR)  The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

B       = (BAD)  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler

We also use + or - to adjust grades in between, so...this scopes out to: SS/M/M-/EX+/EX/EX-/VG+/VG/VG-/G+/G/F/P/B
