You are bidding on a Frank Zappa test pressing double album set. This came in 2 plain white sleeves with two 8 1/2 X 11 sheets that include the names of all songs and times. This is the kind of thing that was used in the industry and with radio stations in the past. Each white sleeve has "Zappa C & D" and "Zappa A & B" writtin in black marker on the outside. The records all have white, blank labels with places to write in information but the only thing that is written is what you see on the two examples in the photos below. The plastic protective sleeve has "Frank Zappa Test Pressings A+B. C+D Sheik "Yerbouti" written on the outside. I have included everyting in this set including the two 8 1/2 X 11 sheets that contain all pertinent information.

The vinyl on both albums looks very shiny and nice. It has been played and I can see some minor scuffing and a few small scratches but I am sure this won't skip and it should play fine with minimal noise.

I have also thrown in another Zappa album, Frank Zappa Hot Rats, Bizarre (Reprise) Records, RS6356. This jacket is in good condition with some minor wear and the vinyl look good, it has minor scratches and scuffs but should play fine. 

This is part of several hundred collectible records I’m selling from a private collection. Please see my other auctions for similar items. This is an estate item so I have no personal knowledge about when it was purchased or any other detailed information. I am not an expert regarding 45RPM or LP records, and I will not attempt to play these records so I am describing them as best I can.  If I find scuffs and/or scratches on a record I'll say so, I'll use plain English to describe everything. Feel free to contact me with more questions. I can’t absolutely guarantee that they don't have scratches or skips because I am not playing these records. I will describe the sleeves the same way, by just being perfectly honest.

I used to accept personal checks and money orders as well as PayPal but Ebay decided to once again interfere with the free market by forbidding the acceptance of checks so I now use only Ebay's payment system, PayPal. (I am sure that some day Ebay will require us to ship items in boxes only provided by an Ebay-owned supplier).

Item will be shipped when payment clears. Payment must be provided within 5 days of end of auction.  If you are unwilling or unable to make payment within 5 days of end of the auction, DO NOT BID.
