2-2-79 - FRANK ZAPPA - SHEIK YERBOUTI - 2 LP VINYL RECORD SET -  PROMOTIONAL ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL PHONOGRAM MEDIA PRESS KIT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DISTRUBITED TO SOME MEDIA LOCATIONS WITH THIS PRESSING THAT INCLUDES A PHONOGRAM GLOSSY FOLDER, 3 PROMO PHOTOS AND AN ADVERTISING SHEET THAT FOLDS OUT INTO A 14 1/2 X 22 INCH NEWSPAPER LOOKING POSTER - PRESSED ON THE ZAPPA RECORDS LABEL THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED BY PHONOGRAM AND CONTAINS THE INNER SLEEVES THAT HAVE THE LYRICS TO THE SONGS PRINTED ON THEM - ZAPPA RECORDS - SRZ - 2 -1501.

I'VE HAD THIS STUFF SINCE 1979 WHEN I USED TO GO TO A RECORD STORE NEAR WHERE STUDENTS FROM THE LOCAL COLLEGE RADIO STATION WOULD GO TO SELL MANY OF THE PROMO ITEMS THAT RECORD COMPANIES WOULD SEND THEM. OF COURSE FRANK NEVER DID GIVE UP SENDING HIS STUFF TO COLLEGE RADIO STATIONS ALTOUGH THE STUFF THAT ARRIVED VERY RARELY GOT PLAYED AND WOUND UP BEING SOLD FOR DRUG MONEY TO USED RECORD STORES. HEY, I WAS HAPPY TO GET IT.

THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A PROMO STICKER ON THE FRONT THAT READS " ATTENTION ! AUDITION BEFORE AIR PLAY ! REVIEW ALL LYRICS BEFORE AIRING ! "[ SRZ - 2 - 1501 ]. GOOD ADVICE TOO IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD SOME OF THE SONGS ON THIS 2 LP SET. ALSO HAS A PROMO STAMP ON THE BACK COVER THAT READS " LOANED FOR PROMOTION ONLY - NOT FOR SALE - OWNERSHIP AND ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. SLGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THE  FRONT AND BACK COVER THAT HAVEN'T CAUSED ANY RING WEAR YET. HOWEVER THERE IS SOME THIN RINGWEAR THAT DOESN'T REALLY GO COMPLETLY AROUND ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. I'M ACTUALLY SURPRISED HOW MUCH WEAR DEVELOPED ON THE COVER SINCE I'VE HAD IT STORED IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE SINCE 1979 AND COLLECTORS INNER SLEEVES. I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE RECORDS STORED OUTSIDE OF THE COVER.

 COMES WITH BOTH ORIGINAL PRINTED LYRIC INNER SLEEVES, SLIGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THEM BUT NO REAL WEAR. BOTH RECORDS COME INSIDE A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE WHICH WILL OF COURSE BE INCLUDED WITH THESE RECORDS.

BOTH OF THE VINYL RECORD LPS ARE NEAR MINT, MAYBE A VERY FAINT PAPER SCUFF THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND ON SIDE ONE IF YOU LOOK AT IT UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB LIKE I JUST DID TO ALL OF THE SIDES. BASICALLY I ONLY PLAYED THESE RECORDS ONCE SINCE I FOUND THEM IN 1979. 

THE GLOSSY PHONOGRAM FOLDER HAS A CREASE ON THE FRONT BUT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A SLIGHT BEND. SOME OF THE WHITE AREAS INSIDE ARE STARTING TO YELLOW AROUND THE VERY EDGES, ALSO AT ONE TIME THE PHOTOS AND ADVERTISING SHEET WERE HELD TOGETHER WITH A PAPER CLIP THAT STARTED TO RUST AND LEFT A SMALL STAIN ON BOTH SIDES ON THE INSIDE. I GOT RID OF THAT CRAPPY PAPER CLIP A WHILE BACK BUT APPARENTLY NOT IN TIME.

THE 3 ORIGINAL PROMO PHOTOS HAVE STARTED TO CURL A LITTLE BIT AND YELLOW ON THE BACKONE OF THEM HAS A CREASE DOWN ONE SIDE AS WELL AS A SMALLER CREASE NEAR THE TOP AND A MARK THAT THE PAPER CLIP MADE. ANOTHER NAS ONE LIGHT CREASE GOING HALF WAY UP THE PHOTO AND A SLIGHT MARK FROM THE PAPER CLIP. THE LAST ONE HAS NO CREASES BUT DOES HAVE A SMALL RUST STAIN FROM THE PAPER CLIP ON THE VERY TOP LEFT SIDE. THESE ARE ORIGINAL PHOTOS, NOT COPIES OR SCANS OR WHATEVER SOME WEASELS ARE DOING WITH PHOTOS ON E-BAY THESE DAYS.

FINALLY THERE'S THAT ADVERTISING SHEET THAT FOLDS OUT INTO A 14 1/2 X 22 INCH KIND OF POSTER. IT HAS A SMALL RUST SPOT ON THE TOP FROM THAT PAPER CLIP AND A COUPLE LIGHT INDENTATIONS ON THE BOTTOM BUT NO RUST FROM THE PAPER CLIP. OTHER THAN MAYBE STARTING TO YELLOW JUST A LITTLE ON THE BACK IT LOOKS GREAT, NO CREASES OR TEARS JUST THE FOLDS THAT CAME WITH IT.
