I AM HAVING A CLEAR OUT OF MY BELOVED COLLECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!!!
PLENTY OF GEMS TO COME - KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!!!

FRANK ZAPPA & THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION   with ZUBIN MEHTA & THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC
200 MOTELS 
(US TMOQ, 746-1/2 ON MATRIX RUN-OUTS, 1970)

RARE EARLY EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC FZ TMOQ ALBUM!! LITTLE BACKGROUND STORY - THIS IS ONE HALF OF THE ORIGINAL 200 MOTELS STAGE VERSION WHICH WAS ONLY PERFORMED ONCE AND ONCE ONLY!! IT'S UK PREMIERE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL WAS BANNED AT THE LAST MINUTE AFTER THE PROMOTERS HAD READ THE SCRIPT AND FREAKED OUT AT THE CONTENT... ZAPPA WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET THE RIGHTS TO RECORD THIS CONCERT PROPERLY DUE TO UNIONS AND ALL THAT JAZZ SO HE SIMPLY DIDN'T BOTHER... LUCKILY SOME BRAVE AUDIENCE MEMBER DECIDED TO RECORD IT AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE!! IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE FILM SOUNDTRACK, DIFFERENT TRACKS AND EVERYTHING. CONFUSINGLY, TMOQ (or Trade Mark Of Quality) RELEASED SEVERAL VARIATIONS OF THIS, SOME AS A DOUBLE ALBUM, SOME AS JUST ONE DISC (LIKE THIS ONE), SOME ON COLOURED VINYL (GOOD LUCK FINDING THOSE!) THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL VARIATIONS I HAVE SEEN AND HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR YEARS... AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, IT IS IN A PLAIN WHITE CARD SLEEVE WITH A HAND-WRITTEN FRONT AND THE LABELS ARE PLAIN WHITE AND DEEP-GROOVED. NO INFO OTHER THAN THE WRITING ON THE FRONT AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER WRITTEN INTO THE RUN-OUT GROOVES. I'D GUESS THAT THIS MAY BE THE EARLIEST PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM. ALL THE OTHER I HAVE SEEN HAVE HAD A SLICK PHOTO PASTED ON THE FRONT BUT THERE IS NO SIGN THAT ANYTHING WAS EVER PASTED ON THIS ONE, JUST THE WRITING. I HAVE ONLY EVER SEEN ONE OTHER EXAMPLE LIKE THIS. AN IDEAL ONE FOR THE HARDCORE FZ COLLECTOR!!

Vinyl is VG++ : has a few light marks, plays with the usual light crackle and surface noise like all of these early TMOQ pressings
Sleeve is EX : minimal wear, great shape!!
