1978 UK LP - TRANSLUCENT RED VINYL, (POSSIBLY A PYE CONTRACT PRESSING) - PUNKY'S WHIPS IS LISTED ON THE COVER BUT NOT ON THE RECORD OR LABEL - BOTH RECORDS ARE TRANSLUCENT RED WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT, BOTH RECORDS APPEAR BLACK UNDER NORMAL LIGHT (see pictures).

Notes: This translucent red vinyl issue of 'Zappa In New York' appears to be undocumented in the major price guides.  Records on DiscReet (and other WEA labels) were not pressed on translucent red vinyl, whereas records pressed by Pye from this era were pressed on translucent red vinyl.   This anomaly suggests that this is very likely to be a contract pressing.  Contract pressings are records which are pressed by other pressing plants in order to fulfil high demand for popular titles.  It is unlikely that there was a high demand for this record, however, the following theory is plausible explaining why this could be a contract pressing.  'Zappa In New York' was originally intended for release including a track entitled 'Punky's Whips'.  'Punky's Whips' was quickly withdrawn (there is a scarce UK version with the Punky's Whips track on the record) and a corrected version was soon available.  It is therefore likely that the record company would have wanted a corrected reissue of the record, without Punky's Whips, in the stores as quickly as possible.  It is very likely that the regular pressing plants used were busy preparing other records and that the record company had to use another pressing plant (in this scenario it is assumed that they used Pye).  These records have every characteristic of a Pye pressing from this era - the label ridges are close to the edge of the label and the vinyl is a translucent red when held to the light.  Very few translucent red vinyl versions exist, and the majority of corrected issues that I have seen are black vinyl versions (I personally have only seen two copies of the translucent red version).  I have compared this issue with other 'corrected' issues of 'Zappa In New York' (without 'Punky's Whips') and these have different label ridges and are pressed with black vinyl.  N.B. The vinyl colour is a deeper red than portrayed in the pictures.

We dispatch worldwide in reinforced heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements either side. I also use heavy duty packaging tape. I separate the LP from the sleeve when packing to preclude any damage to the sleeve in transit. Such care and attention to packing is normally demanded by the discerning record collector.

SEE BELOW EXPLANATION OF THE RECORD GRADING

RECORD GRADE'S

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

NM: The record appears virtually flawless. If there is a flaw, it should be very hard to see. Very minor scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play clean with a crisp audio throughout, without any noise over the flaw. 

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 

Very good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

Please note there may be a difference between grading with a PLUS OR MINUS this means that there is a slight upgrade/downgrade.
