FRANK ZAPPA BEAT THE BOOTS VOLUME 1 9 LP BOX SET N.MINT

$

204

 Super rare Zappa collectible!  This is the 9 LP (8 titles) Frank Zappa "Beat The Boots" Vol. 1 box set spanning 15 years of his career from 1967-1982.  Though the outside of the box (see photo #1), the records are near mint-THEY HAVE ONLY BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!  LP's are just in beautiful condition!  Box set also comes with an extra large t-shirt and button and when you open the box, a special cartoon fold-out of Frank, the band and the audience!  Note that the shirt has never been worn (though a bit wrinkled for having been in the box all these years.  The only other minor condition issues in regards to the box is that there are the tiniest tears or creases in the top right-hand and top left -hand fold-out corners of the cardboard fold-out of the audience (see photos #'s 7 & 8-just to the right of the person with blonde hair in photo #7 and through the hair of the guy in the shados of photo #8)-hardly noticeable but I thought it is only fair to point them out.

The list of the 8 albums is as follows: 

As an Am

The Ark

Freaks & Mother*#@%!

Unmitigated Audacity

Any Way the Wind Blows

'Tis the Season to Be Jelly

Saarbrücken 1978
