EXCELLENT COPY OF ANOTHER CLASSIC FROM ZAPPA'S TREMENDOUSLY CREATIVE LATE 60s /EARLY 70s PERIOD - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Chunga's Revenge marks the debut of Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (among several other musicians) with the Mothers, and while their schtick has not reached the graphic proportions it later would, the thematic obsessions of the 200 Motels period are foreshadowed on tracks like "Road Ladies" and "Would You Go All the Way?"
Other vocal numbers include the hard-rocking "Tell Me You Love Me," the musicians' union satire "Rudy Wants to Buy Yez a Drink," and the doo wop-influenced "Sharleena." Meanwhile, Frank Zappa's strong instrumental music incorporates Eastern European influences ("Transylvania Boogie"), cocktail jazz ("Twenty Small Cigars"), and the percussion-only "The Clap."
Zappa's guitar tone is wonderfully biting and nasty throughout; George Duke provides another musical highlight by scat-singing a "drum solo."

Track Listing:
Side 1: TRANSYLVANIA BOOGIE / ROAD LADIES / TWENTY SMALL CIGARS / THE NANCY & MARY MUSIC (parts 1-3)
Side 2: TELL ME YOU LOVE ME / WOULD YOU GO ALL THE WAY? / CHUNGA’S REVENGE / THE CLAP / RUDY WANTS TO BUY YEZ A DRINK / SHARLEENA

LABELS: The labels are CLEAN, BRIGHT and UNMARKED with just some spindles tightly packed around the centre hole
VINYL Visual: The vinyl retains its original DEEP, GLOSSY SHEEN and is practically UNMARKED
VINYL Audio: OUTSTANDING - CRYSTAL CLEAR, DEEP, RICH, VIBRANT SOUND. There are NO scratches, NO sticks, NO jumps, just some occasional light clicks/pops (very minor and never intrusive). Overall, the LP plays to a very high standard with NO groove-wear and NO distortion and must be graded at least an EXCELLENT for audio - SOUNDS GREAT - VERY FINE FIRST PRESSING INDEED
SLEEVE: The matte gatefold cover is VERY GOOD+ (strictly graded) - There is storage wear to the edges and spine and some light 'ring' on the front and back but the sleeve is CLEAN and UNMARKED (please see photos). Overall, a very acceptable original copy
