1968 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY - ORIGINAL GERMAN CENSORED PRESSING 12" VINYL RECORD LP - NATURALLY SINCE IT'S THE FIRST PRESSING IT'S CENSORED, WHERE SOME RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES AT VERVE RECORDS DECIDED THEY HAD BETTER REMOVE SOME OF THE CONTENT THAT THEY DEEMED MIGHT NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MINDS OF FOOLISH YOUNG CONSUMERS - SO THEY REMOVED THE WORD "BALLING", THE "SUCKS" IN FLOWER POWER SUCKS AND OTHER OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL. THIS CENSORSHIP MADE FRANK UPSET AND CAUSED HIM THE FOLLOWING YEAR TO GIVE VERVE RECORDS THE SHAFT AND SIGN WITH WARNER BROS. - ANYWAY THIS IS A GREAT SOUNDING AND QUALITY ORIGINAL GERMAN PRESSING. THE GERMAN PRESSING ALSO INCLUDED THE ONLY MONEY CUT-OUTS INSERT AND THE GLOSSY FRONT AND BACK FOLD-OPEN COVER WITH THE LYRICS PRINTED INSIDE AND THE FLAP WHERE THE RECORD GETS STUCK INSIDE - BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE ALSO INCLUDED IS AN APPROXIMATELY 23 1/2 X 18 INCHES ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY DUTCH POSTER - IT DIDN'T ORIGINALLY COME WITH THE GERMAN  PRESSING, BUT IT'S AN ORIGINAL PRINTED IN THE NETHERLANDS IN 1968 POSTER, NOT A COPY - READ THE DETAILS AFTER YOU SCROLL PAST THE ANSWER TO ONE OF MY MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - OK LARRY?        

RECENTLY, YET ANOTHER CONSUMER COINCIDENTALLY NAMED LARRY WITH AN INQUIRING MIND ASKED ME:

HEY REV, WADDA YEZ DOING SELLING ALL OF THAT ZAPPA ON EBAY? SHOULDN'T YEZ BE DOING SOMETHIN' ELSE LIKE SAVING SOULS OR SOMETHIN'? HUH?

WELL LARRY, YOU SEE UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE IN MY PROFESSION, I HAVEN'T MANAGED TO GET 20 MILLION DOLLARS IN MY HEAVENLY BANK ACCOUNT YET. IT SEEMS I JUST CAN'T FIND ENOUGH CHUMPS WHO WERE BORN AGAIN. I GUESS I GOTTA GET A TV SHOW LIKE ALL OF THEM OTHER SCHMUCKS. I ALREADY HAVE A BLONDE WIFE, NOW I JUST GOTTA TALK HER INTO TAKING PHONE CALLS. SO I GOTTA SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME FOR NOW SOMEHOW. RIGHT LARRY?

SIDE 1 POOTS FORTH: ARE YOU HUNG UP? - WHO NEEDS THE PEACE CORPS? - CONCENTRATION MOON - MOM & DAD - BOW TIE DADDY - HARRY...., YOU'RE A BEAST - WHAT'S THE UGLIEST PART OF YOUR BODY? - ABSOLUTELY FREE - FLOWER PUNK - HOT POOP.

SIDE 2 OOZES OUT: NASAL RETENTIVE CALIOPE MUSIC - LET'S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK - THE IDIOT BASTARD SON - LONELY LITTLE GIRL - TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF WHEN YOU DANCE - WHAT'S THE UGLIEST PART OF YOUR BODY? - MOTHER PEOPLE - THE CHROME PLATED MEGAPHONE OF DESTINY. 

BEAUTIFUL RECORD THAT PLAYS PERFECT. NO SCRATCHES, IN FACT I DON'T EVEN SEE ANY SCUFFS. IN FACT IF IT WEREN'T FOR A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AND YELLOWING ON WHAT IS PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL HIGH QUALITY PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVE, SOMEBODY MIGHT NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PRESSED 50 YEARS AGO. THE FOLD-OPEN COVER IS REALLY NICE TOO, TINY CREASE NEAR THE TOP EDGE, ONE BUMPED CORNER, NO SEAM SPLITS, I DON'T EVEN SEE MUCH IF ANY RING WEAR. THE INSERT IS REALLY NICE TOO. TINY CREASE NEAR THE TOP EDGE. THE POSTER HAS FOLDS, PIN HOLES IN THE CORNERS, A COUPLE OF STAPLE HOLES AND A LITTLE YELLOWING. THERE'S STUFF PRINTED ON THE BACK IN DUTCH AND HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM A PRINTED IN 1968 DUTCH PUBLICATION. I FOUND IT INSIDE OF THE COVER AND WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN ONE. THE RECORD COMES IN THAT ORIGINAL HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE, WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON THE RECORD HAS SURVIVED LOOK SHARP ALL THESE YEARS. BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE, BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
