FRANK ZAPPA LUMPY GRAVY MONO ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING 1968 VERVE UK MONO LP VLP 9223 IN GATEFOLD LAMINATED FLIPBACK COVER　MATRIX NUMBERS....V 8741A-1 / V 8741B-1 FIRST PRESSING . STAMPING CODES...G1 / G1 (This shows the LP to have been within the first few, pressed from the original Mother!)
The Cover....The cover is in great condition. This is the original flipback mono VLP 9223 gatefold sleeve. One of the most famous covers from the late sixties. A great example with lovely, shiny lamination, with nice, thick, wide spine. The inside of the cover is brilliant and white. There are no tears, writing or seem splits. The cover grades a superb Excellent condition. You would have great difficulty finding better. A mega-rare sleeve in mono!
The Record....The record is also in great shape. It still has it's natural gloss. The sound quality is superb throughout, and the mono mix is wonderful, clear and sharp. Under strong, unshaded light, a couple of fine, light surface markings only. I will grade this as Excellent, but I guarantee most would have graded this higher. Incredibly rare in this true Excellent condition! Don't miss out on this great example, that will please a serious collector.
The Labels....Both labels are in exceptional condition, graded Near Mint. There are no tears, stickers or writing. These are the original black Verve labels, with the "Sold in the UK" text that was dropped shortly after the release of this LP. Both labels are stunning examples that show a well loved record.
The Inner Sleeve....The record is housed in it's original plain white "Patent Number" inner sleeve that is also in superb condition, that has had very little handling (always a good sign of quality).
This is by far the rarest UK Zappa LP! This is highly desirable for the main reason that it never got issued in mono in the states. The UK mono LP features a completely different mix to the stereo version. It has been unavailable, officially, in the mono format since 1968. The record in the UK did not sell well at a time when mono LPs were being phased out. This is one extremely hard to find record. The nicest thing here is the condition of both the record and cover, plus the sound quality is all brilliant. When this record usually shows up, it is never in this good a condition. Do not miss out!
