OCTOBER 2ND 1975 - ZAPPA / BEEFHEART / MOTHERS - BONGO FURY - LIVE IN CONCERT AT THE ARMADILLO WORLD HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS MAY 20TH & 21ST, 1975 - RARE NEW ZEALAND LP THAT HAS THE CHOCOLATE SUNDAE FRONT COVER AND THE NEW ZEALAND ONLY GREY BACK COVER - SO HOW RARE IS THIS LP AND WHAT THE F*UCK IS THE CHOCOLATE SUNDAE FRONT COVER, YEZ JUST MIGHT BE SITTING THERE SCRATCHING YOUR OVERSIZED RONDO HATTON STYLE OF BEMIS HEAD WONDERING? WELL LARRY, SIMPLY ROLL ON UP TO THE PHOTOS, FIND PHOTO NUMBER 4, AND PLACE YOUR PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE IN FRONT OF IT - YOU'LL NOW NOTICE THAT UNLIKE YOUR COPY, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE MIRROR IN BACK OF FRANK'S HEAD HAS "CHOCOLATE SUNDAE" PRINTED BACKWARDS ON THE MIRROR. THIS JUST MIGHT INDICATE THAT THE PHOTO HAD REALLY BEEN TAKEN IN A 1975 VERSION MALT SHOP - NOTICE THE CIGARETTE BUTTS ON THE FLOOR, HEY, THIS WAS LONG BEFORE THE HEALTH FREAKS GOT ENOUGH POLITICAL POWER TO MAKE SMOKING IN A PUBLIC PLACE A CAPITAL OFFENSE. HEY, FRANK IS ALSO WEARING BROWN SHOES, BUT I WON'T MENTION IT. NOW YOU'LL NOTICE ON YOUR USA COPY THERE IS NO CHOCOLATE SUNDAE, IN FACT THE ONLY CHOCOLATE SUNDAES THAT YOU COULD SEE ON THIS COVER WERE PRINTED ON THE AUSTRALIAN AND GERMAN PRESSINGS, ALTHOUGH THERE'S A LITTLE LESS CHOCOLATE ON THE GERMAN COVER BECAUSE CHOCOLATE DOESN'T TASTE GOOD WITH BEER. SO RARE IS THIS NEW ZEALAND PRESSING? IT'S SO RARE THAT FOR A LONG TIME EVEN REV. A. WEST DIDN'T KNOW IT EXISTED, SO MAYBE HE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW EVERYTHING THAT THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT FRANK ZAPPA RECORDS. OK, OK, HE REALLY DOES KNOW, BUT EVER SINCE HE GOT DEPRESSED ABOUT WASTING HIS LIFE TRYING TO SELL STUFF BY A GUY WHO HAD BEEN BETTER KNOWN FOR SITTING ON A TOILET THAN HIS MUSIC AND WENT TO A THERAPIST, WHO TOLD HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIS FEMININE SIDE, HE'S BEEN TRYING TO BE HUMBLE. HEY, I'M THINKING IF I REALLY CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH MY FEMININE SIDE, I COULD SAVE A LOT OF MONEY ON DATES OR SOMETHING. SO NOW BECAUSE I'M STARTING TO FELL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF, I'M GONNA INCLUDE A BRAND NEW GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET TO PROTECT THE COOL ALBUM COVER FROM ANY ADDITIONAL WEAR ABSOLUTELY FREE - REPRISE RECORDS - DS 2234 - OK LARRY?  

SIDE ONE POOTS FORTH: DEBRA KADABRA - CAROLINA HARD-CORE ECSTASY - SAM WITH THE SHOWING SCALP FLAT TOP - POOFTER'S FROTH WYOMING PLANS AHEAD - 200 YEARS OLD.

SIDE TWO OOZES OUT: CUCAMONGA - ADVANCE ROMANCE - MAN WITH THE WOMAN HEAD - MUFFIN MAN.

THE ALBUM COVER HAS SOME RING AND EDGE WEAR. A FEW CREASES AND INDENTATIONS. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO WRITING. NO TAPE. THE RECORD WILL GET SENT IN A BRAND NEW GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET FOR PROTECTION TO AVOID ANY MORE WEAR LONG AFTER YOU CROAK.

AS ALWAYS, I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD COMPLETELY THRU RIGHT BEFORE DOING THIS LISTING. BOTH SIDES SOUND GREAT. THERE'S A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE, BUT MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE AS THERE ALWAYS IS ON VINYL RECORDS. NO CLICKS. NO POPS. NO SKIPS OR STICKS. THIS JUST MIGHT BE BECAUSE WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, THERE'S SOME SCUFFS, BUT NOTHING DEEP GROOVE..

THE RECORD COMES WITH THE AFORE-MENTIONED GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET, BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE NOT ONLY WILL YOU RECEIVE THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE , BUT YOU'LL RECEIVE A BRAND NEW HIGH QUALITY INNER SLEEVE, AND IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE, I JUST MIGHT INCLUDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. SO WADDA YEZ WAITIN' FOR, HUH?
