1969 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - UNCLE MEAT - 12" VINYL RECORD 2 LP SET - THIS IS THE VERY FIRST UNIQUE PRESSING RELEASED IN THE U.K. ON THE TRANSATLANTIC RECORDS LABEL - TRA 197 - IT INCLUDES THE MISTAKES, WHICH WHEN SEEN BY FRANK SENT HIM INTO A PETULANT FRENZY AND VISIT TO THE RECORD COMPANY OFFICES - THIS WAS THE FIRST MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUM RELEASED BY WARNER / REPRISE AFTER FRANK GAVE VERVE RECORDS THE SHAFT. BUT IN THE U.K. IT WAS RELEASED ON THE TRANSATLANTIC RECORDS LABEL FOR VARIOUS REASONS - IT HAS "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 - THERE'S OTHER MISTAKES TOO, BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST INTERESTING PART HERE - THE MOST INTERESTING PART HERE IS THE UNCLE MEAT BOOKLET, THE FRONT COVERS LOOK LIKE THE U.S.A. UNCLE MEAT BOOKLET, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE SIMILARITIES END - BECAUSE INSIDE IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, IT'S 20 PAGES INSTEAD OF 12 AND IS PRINTED BY HASTINGS PRINTING COMPANY, DRURY LANE, ST LEONARDS-ON-SEA, SUSSEX, U.K. - HEAVY PAPER PRINTING WHICH WAS ACTUALLY THE UNCLE MEAT CONCERTS PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED AT 6 SHOWS IN THE U.K. ONLY IN MAY AND JUNE 1969 - IN FACT IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT THIS BOOKLET WAS NEVER ORIGINALLY INCLUDED WITH THE UNCLE MEAT U.K. TRANSATLANTIC RECORDS PRESSINGS, ALTHOUGH A FEW PEOPLE CLAIM THAT THE FIRST 100 PRESSINGS DID INDEED INCLUDE THE BOOKLET - BUT WHATEVER THE CASE, THESE BOOKLETS VERY SELDOM APPEAR WITH U.K. PRESSINGS - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND READ WHAT I HAVE TO SPEW FORTH ABOUT THIS SUBJECT BELOW;  

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 REAL GEM HERE IS THE 20 PAGE BOOKLET, ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL TRANSATLANTIC UNCLE MEAT ALBUM IS KINDA' RARE AND ALSO NICE TO HAVE, THE BOOKLET IS PRINTED ON HEAVY PAPER, MAYBE A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN THE USA VERSION. NO FOLDS. NO TEARS. NO CREASES. NO LOOSE PAGES. A LITTLE YELLOWING ACCUMULATED OVER THE YEARS, BUT NO STAINS. HEY, IT'S NOT THAT KINDA' BOOKLET. THE ALBUM COVER HAS THE RARE MOTHERS OF INVENTION STICKER ON THE FRONT COVER. THERE'S A SMALL SEAM SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF THE SPINE THAT YOU CAN SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT IT'S NOT SPLIT ALL THE WAY THRU TO THE INSIDE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S REALLY A SEAM SPLIT. OTHER THAN THAT THERE'S EDGE WEAR AND LIGHT RING WEAR. THE RECORDS PLAY NICE WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES. NO SKIPS. NO CLICKS. NO REPEATS. VISUALLY THERE'S A FEW SCUFFS / SURFACE MARKS, BUT NOT TOO MANY. STILL A GOOD LISTEN. THE RECORDS COME IN SOME OF THOSE VINTAGE U.K. HIGH QUALITY PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVES. BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE, I JUST MIGHT INCLUDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. OK LARRY?

HERE'S THE DEAL ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I DON'T USE THE GLOBAL SHIPPING SYSTEM, WHICH JUST MIGHT MEAN THAT THE GOVERNMENT, KING, QUEEN, STRONGMAN, DICTATOR / TYRANT IN YOUR COUNTRY MIGHT NOT TRY TO SQUEEZE SOME EXTRA MONEY OUT OF YOUR BEHIND, AND IF YOU DO NOT PAY A FEW GUYS WEARING TRENCH COATS AND SUNGLASSES WOULD GO TO YOUR HOUSE AROUND MIDNIGHT, TO TAKE YOU AWAY SCREAMING FOR A RIDE ON THE IRON SAUSAGE. BUT SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF THE USA HAS BECOME EXPENSIVE, AND PRIORITY MAIL WOULD GET YOUR EXTREMELY RARE RECORD IN YOUR HANDS A LOT SAFER AND FASTER WITH A TRACKING NUMBER.
