Description

  • Artist & Title: Frank Zappa ?– Hot Rats 
  • Label & Cat #: 1969 Bizarre ?– RS 6356 blue label *original first press [Matrix/ Runout (Side A & B etched): RS-6356-A(30926)-1 //  RS 6356 B 30927-2]
  • Vinyl Grade: EX play graded  *long scuff mark across Side 1 did not affect track play
  • Cover Grade: EX  *gatefold w/ light corner ding top rh 
  • Notes: Hot Rats was the first album Frank Zappa recorded as a solo artist sans the Mothers, though he continued to employ previous musical collaborators, most notably multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood.  Zappa's wonderfully scuzzy, distorted tone on guitar is an especially good fit on "Willie the Pimp," with its greasy blues riffs and guest vocalist Captain Beefheart's Howlin' Wolf theatrics. The backing band featured contributions from Jean-Luc Ponty, Lowell George, and Don "Sugarcane" Harris, among others ("Peaches En Regalia" has Shuggie Otis on bass). (AllMusic)   

MISCELLANEOUS:

  • All photos are actual images of the item for sale.
  • All records are sleeved and removed from jacket to prevent any seam splitting, and both then shipped inside a poly album sleeve. 
  • Michigan residents will be charged 6% state sales tax on their purchase, including shipping & handling charges.
GRADING STANDARDS: 

(M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
