APRIL 2ND 1969 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - UNCLE MEAT - 12" VINYL RECORD 2 LP SET - THIS IS THE VERY FIRST RECALLED CANADIAN REPRISE TRI-COLOR LABEL SET WITH MISTAKES, THAT WHEN SEEN BY FRANK SENT HIM INTO A PETULANT FRENZY AND VISIT TO THE RECORD COMPANY OFFICES - FIRST OF ALL, THIS WAS THE FIRST MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUM RELEASED BY WARNER / REPRISE AFTER FRANK GAVE VERVE RECORDS THE SHAFT. BUT HERE, JUST AS WAS THE ISSUE WITH VERVE RECORDS CENSORSHIP, IS "400 DAYS OF THE YEAR" REPLACING THE CORRECT SONG TITLE OF "9 TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION", BECAUSE SOME RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES THOUGHT THAT FRANK'S TITLE WOULD CREATE IRREPARABLE HARM ON THE MINDS OF FOOLISH YOUNG CONSUMERS - - THE SONG ELECTRIC AUNT JEMIMA WAS PRINTED CORRECTLY AS THE TITLE OF THE SONG ABOVE THE LYRICS. HOWEVER, FURTHER DOWN IT WAS SPELLED "JEMINA" AND ALSO ON THE RECORD LABEL - ANYWAY, THIS VERSION WAS WITHDRAWN AND BESIDES THAT RARITY FACTOR, THIS WAS THE ONLY COUNTRY OTHER THAN ITALY THAT I RECALL WHERE UNCLE MEAT WAS RELEASED ON THE REPRISE TRI-COLOR LABEL - - INCLUDES THE 12 PAGE BOOKLET WHICH WAS PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. AND SENT UP THERE FOR THEM TO INSERT- 2MS 2024 - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND READ A FEW REASONS WHY YOU JUST MIGHT WANNA BUY IT

OK, OK, REV., LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY COOL RARE 'N EXCITING ITEM. BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP SITTING HERE SCRATCHING MY OVERSIZED RONDO HATTON TYPE OF BEMIS HEAD AND WONDER WHY, YES WHY, SHOULD I SPEND MY HARD EARNED ST. ALPHONSO'S PANCAKE HOUSE EMPLOYEE MONEY TO BUY IT?, HUH REV?

WELL LARRY, I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK. BUT SINCE YOU JUST COULDN'T CONTAIN YO' SELF, I SUPPOSE THAT IT'S MY DUTY TO INFORM YOUR BEHIND. SO HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT POOT FORTH NOT IN ANY ORDER OF IMPORTANCE:

. YOU LIKE THE MUSIC OF FRANK ZAPPA AND WILL BUY VIRTUALLY ANYTHING THAT HAS FRANK ZAPPA ON IT.

. ALTHOUGH YOUR WIFE TOLD YOU IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, THAT IF YOU WERE TO SIMPLY BUY ONE MORE FRANK ZAPPA RECORD, SHE WOULD STICK YOUR BALLS IN A VICE. YOU DID TELL ME THAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BUY THE ZAPPA RECORD ANYWAY. SO I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, I MEAN HOW BAD CAN GETTING YOUR BALLS STUCK IN A VICE REALLY BE ANYWAY? LIKE I SAID, YOU MIGHT EVEN ENJOY IT.

. THE VACUUM CLEANER NEXT DOOR IS OUT FOR THE EVENING, SO YEZ HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY WITH NOWHERE TO SPEND IT.

. THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ON TV TONITE.

. I NEED THE MONEY FOR LITTLE PINOCCHIO'S NOSE JOB.

SIDE ONE POOTS FORTH: UNCLE MEAT: MAIN TITLE THEME - THE VOICE OF CHEESE - 400 DAYS OF THE YEAR - ZOLAR CZAKL - DOG BREATH, IN THE YEAR OF THE PLAGUE - THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN ARCHES - THE MOTHERS PLAY LOUIE LOUIE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL IN LONDON - THE DOG BREATH VARIATIONS.

SIDE TWO OOZES OUT: SLEEPING IN A JAR - OUR BIZARRE RELATIONSHIP - THE UNCLE MEAT VARIATIONS - ELECTRIC AUNT JEMINA - PRELUDE TO KING KONG - GOD BLESS AMERICA - A POUND FOR A BROWN ON THE BUS - IAN UNDERWOOD WHIPS IT OUT . 

SIDE THREE FLUSHES DOWN:MR. GREEN GENES - WE CAN SHOOT YOU - IF WE'D BEEN LIVING IN CALIFORNIA.... - THE AIR - PROJECT X - CRUISING FOR BURGERS.

SIDE FOUR WIPES UP: KING KONG ITSELF - KING KONG - KING KONG - KING KONG - KING KONG - KING KONG .

THE HEAVY CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER HAS A FEW GOOD AND BAD FEATURES: THE BAD FEATURES ARE THE SEAM SPLITS. THE TOP OF THE FRONT SEAM SEAM IS SPLIT AND THE TOP OF THE BACK SEAM IS ABOUT HALF WAY SPLIT. A COUPLE INCHES OF THE FRONT BOTTOM SEAM ARE ALSO SPLIT BUT NOT WORTH SHOWING IN THE PHOTOS. ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE AN INDENTATION OR SMALL PUNCH HOLE ON THE SEAM BUT THERE'S STILL CARDBOARD REMAINING. IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S NOT FULLY PLOOKED. SEE PHOTOS 8 AND 9. NOW HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: YEAH THERE'S SOME RING WEAR, BUT FOR A 46 YEAR OLD ALBUM COVER THE RING WEAR ISN'T THAT BAD. NO TAPE, SO YOU COULD TAPE THE SEAMS IF YOU WANT. NO WRITING. THE BOOKLET IS REALLY NICE. NO CREASES, NO TEARS, NO LOOSE PAGES, NO WRITING, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I PLAYED ALL 4 SIDES ALL THE WAY THRU ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. YEAH, JUST ANOTHER EXCUSE TO LISTEN TO UNCLE MEAT FOR THE 1001ST TIME IN MY LIFE. THE ORIGINAL IS STILL A LOT BETTER THAN THOSE CRAPPY REMASTERED JOBS, BUT THEN AGAIN I'M A GEEZER WHO STILL THINKS THAT VINYL SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE DIGITAL CRUD. IN ANY CASE ALL SIDES SOUNDED NICE, A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES BUT GEEZERS WHO LISTEN TO OLD RECORDS ARE USED TO IT. NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. THE RECORD DOESN'T STICK IN ANY ONE PLACE REFUSING TO GO ANY FURTHER EITHER. HERE'S THE DEAL, VISUALLY THERE'S A REAL LONG SCUFF ON SIDE 3 THAT YOU CAN'T MISS, BUT IT'S A SCUFF AND TOO WIDE TO BE CAUSED BY A NEEDLE. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY EXTRA NOISE ON THAT SIDE COMPARED TO THE OTHER ONES EITHER. THE OTHER SIDES HAVE THEIR SHARE OF SMALLER SCUFFS / SURFACE MARKS. THESE RECORDS HAVE BEEN PLAYED FOR SURE, BUT ITS NOT LIKE THE ENTIRE SURFACES ARE COVERED IN MARKS AND LIKE I TOLD YEZ, THE RECORDS SOUND NICE. HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR PERFECT RECORDS YOU JUST MIGHT WANNA BUY ONE OF THOSE RECENT RE-MASTERED RE-ISSUE JOBS. THE RECORDS IN THIS ALBUM IN CANADA, UNLIKE THE U.S.A. RELEASE, WERE ISSUED IN PLAIN WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVES WHICH I SAVED AND ARE INCLUDED, BUT YOUR BEHIND WILL RECEIVE THE RECORDS IN HIGH QUALITY COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES THAT I'M PROVIDING DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, AND IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE, I JUST MIGHT INCLUDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. OK LARRY?
