FRANK ZAPPA 

FREAK OUT

Orig DBL LP EX//EX//EX

On offer here is a rare Original US G/F 1966 LP(especially in this condition!!!) by Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention called 'FREAK OUT"   THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN UK IN NICE CONDITION!!!!  THIS IS FRANK ZAPPA'S EARLIEST and let's be HONEST... HIS (2nd) BEST LP!!!! - OK! OK!! LET'S NOT ARGUE HERE!!!!)  AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE UK OR EUROPE.  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  BACK IN 1966 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN SMALL NO.S, AND WAS SOON DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is RSLP V-5005-2 on the Blue ORIGINAL VERVE Label and is a US Stereo G/F. 

The record labels are in nice condition with NO real wear, with NO writing, SOME verylight spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is really in NICE condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of 'heavy sessions' (MAN!)  and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT!!!!  It has NO DEEP scratches, some hairlines YES! - A couple of SMALL light scuffs only I'm not gonna say it's absolutely PRISTINE cos it's not - but you have to look under extreme light to see the marks. You have a couple handling marks and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO real pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle, and only some absolutely low level background sound on the run on grooves and VERY occasional gap - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion. I am not a DEALER this cost me £10.00 alone to get posted from USA!!! To each his own but I think it is in STEREO that you can really enjoy this LP... 

The NICEST thing is the COVER!!!!  It has only 'slight edge and cornerwear' (no 'touching in'), barely ANY spinal wear and best of all =NO CREASES!!!! NO RING WEAR!!!! This is one of the BEST COVERS I've seen of a US Original - It seem all ZAPPA's early LPs suffer from TERRIBLE ring wear and creases (This cover is VERY flat looking!), NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL. The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO grubbiness, NO bad rubbing,  The cover must grade EX+ (but I've put it as EX as I only just noticed a minute fading pen mark saying 28.0 (?) in top left corner barely 2mm!) I've had QUITE a while I NEVER knew it was there so I'm sure only the absolute fussiest person would let this put them off!) THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!! IT WAS ONLY RELEASED IN THE USA IN THIS DBL LP FORMAT AND TRACKS WERE MISSED OUT ON THE UK ORIGINAL SO THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LP TO GET..

I honestlty would not be selling this but I recently bought 2 x VERY (VERY!) EXPENSIVE records that I must now let go some prized possesions in order to KEEP them. This is my PLAYING COPY on SPECIAL OCCAISIONS ONLY and I don't care what anyone says... The CD sounds NOTHING LIKE AS GOOD!!!!

 

It's not cheap I know but I'm asking almost what I paid by the time EBAY take their cut.. IT'S WORTH IT!!! & you haven't got that worry and expense of buying overseas..If your UNHAPPY With it in ANY WAY.. It'll only cost the postage back I'll give a FULL REFUND I'm that sure you'll LOVE IT!!!!

It really is a GREAT looking LP and if you've ever longed to own an ORIGINAL copy of this LP then bid on this! It is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!  THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY THIS "42 YEAR OLD LP" IN EX CONDITION!!!!  If a MINT COPY is valued at £60.00 an EX has gota be worth £25-30 SURELY??  I have done my best to tell you what your buying.  P&P £3.50p RECORDED DELIVERY in the UK, £4 .50 Europe, £6.00 USA Rest Of The World £7.00 (Postal discounts are available - see below for details).  Paypal, Bank Transfers, Cheques, International Money Orders, and Postal Orders accepted. Thanks for looking! Cheers!!!!!
