1977 - FRANK ZAPPA - ZAPPA IN NEW YORK - 2 LP VINYL RECORD SET MANUFACTURED BY UU88 RECORDS LIMITED, AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND AND PRESSED ON THE REPRISE RECORDS STEAMBOAT LABEL - 2D-2290-1/2.

THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE NEW ZEALAND PRESSING OF THE ZAPPA IN NEW YORK 2-LP VINYL RECORD SET. IT'S AMAZING ENOUGH THAT THEY EVEN MADE ZAPPA RECORDS IN NEW ZEALAND. IF I WERE TO GUESS HOW MANY OF THIS TITLE WERE PRESSED I'D SAY SEVERAL HUNDRED AT THE MOST. I KNOW A FEW COLLECTORS IN AUSTRALIA, WHICH IS A LOT CLOSER TO NEW ZEALAND THAN THE USA THAT TOLD ME EVEN IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND ZAPPA PRESSINGS WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. IN MOST COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE USA THIS 2 RECORD SET WAS PRESED ON THE DISCREET RECORDS LABEL, BUT IN NEW ZEALAND THEY PRESSED IT ON REPRISE RECORDS, HEY, THEY WERE LUCKY TO GET ANY ZAPPA PRESSINGS AT ALL IN SUCH A REMOTE AREA.

THE CARDBOARD GATEFOLD COVER HAS A LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THE FRONT AND SOME THIN RING WEAR AS A RESULT OF RECORD INDENTATION ON THE BACK COVER. [ SEE PHOTOS ]. LIGHT WEAR INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD, BASICALLY PRETTY NICE CONSIDERING HOW OLD IT IS AND HOW FAR IT'S TRAVELLED.

BOTH OF THESE RECORDS HAVE SOME SURFACE MARKS ON THEM, MOSTLY LIGHT. SIDE 3 HAS A BUNCH OF SCUFFS ON IT THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY WERE MADE BY SURFACE CONTACT WITH A TONEARM AND NEEDLE.  ACTUALLY ALL SIDES PLAY GOOD AND LOUD WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES, BUT NO SKIPS. YEAH, I PLAYED BOTH RECORDS, GOOD EXCUSE FOR ME TO LISTEN TO A GREAT ZAPPA RECORDING. NO PUNKY'S WHIPS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS MAY BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MIX THAN I REMEMBER OF THIS RECORDING, LESS ECHO IN PLACES THAT I REMEMBER AND I'VE HEARD THIS RECORD, AND ALL ZAPPA RECORDS MORE TIMES THAN PROBABLY EVEN THE MOST HARDCORE OF ZAPPA FANS. YES, I ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC INSTEAD OF BUYING RECORDS AND JUST PUTTING THEM IN A BOX LIKE MANY COLLECTORS DO. THE RECORDS BOTH COME WITH COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
