Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

1972 *BIZARRE RECORDS* FIRST PRESSING
TOP MINTY ORIGINAL!
Frank ZAPPA & THE MOTHERS
GRAND WAZOO
\ USA - BIZARRE RECORDS - MS 2093
TOP CLEAN! Original 1972 first pressing in thick gatefold cover...really hard to find this album on the original BIZARRE label, some collectors think it does not exist on this label, but here it is ...
Includes the original Zappa photo & printed inner sleeve to the pressing
Zappa-philes will recognize names like Aynsley Dunbar, Don Preston and George Duke within the five lengthy tracks include the witty "Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus," the intricate title track, the rock-edged "For Calvin (And His Next Two Hitch-Hikers)," and the more lyrical "Blessed Relief. "Grand Wazoo" is an astonishinng work of melodic inventiveness and orchestration, each of its tunes can leave you breathless with their wealth of ideas and ironic genius.
Zappa, as praised as he has been, remains deserving of further acknowledgement --belonging to a very small and selected group of American composers without whom it would be literally impossible to think of American music, period. Zappa -like Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington or Miles Davis, to name a few- in their own ways, were ... are ... artists who transformed the musical genres they cultivated, and made them something they have never been before.
In Zappa's case, the amazing satirist he was or the tremedous guitar player he could be, often, overshadowed the seminal composer and arranger he's always been. "Grand Wazoo" does the latter complete and unarguable justice...an album that continues the jazz-rock thread of Zappa's work, which began with HOT RATS and continued with WAKA/JAWAKA.
