Description
PLEASE NOTE: MONO PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM ON BLACK VERVE STOCK LABEL DO NOT EXIST AND WERE NEVER PRODUCED, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT SOME WEB SITES AND PRICE GUIDES CLAIM - THE ONLY U.S. MONO PRESSING CAN BE FOUND ON YELLOW LABELOR WHITE PROMOTIONAL LABEL THE ONLY REASON THIS COPY IS STILL UNPLAYED IS THAT I HAD OTHER COPIES TO PLAY.AS i HAD WORKED FOR MGM/VERVE WHEN THIS RECORD CAME OUT ALSO NOTE: PROMO-ONLY MONO COVERS WERE CUSTOM COVERS (COVERS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR PROMO-ONLY MONO PRESSING) AND CANNOT BE REPLACED WITH STEREO COVERS. YOU MUST HAVE A MONO-SPECIFIC COVER WHICH GOES WITH A PROMO-ONLY MONO RECORD TO HAVE A COMPLETE, HISTORICALLY ACCURATE, MATCHING SET. HERE’S HOW THE TWO COVERS DIFFER: PROMO-ONLY MONO COPIES DID NOT HAVE A STEREO BANNER OR STEREO CATALOG NUMBER (V6-8741) ON THE FRONT PANEL (IN FACT, MONO COPIES DID NOT HAVE EITHER ‘STEREO’ OR ‘MONO’ DESIGNATION ON THE FRONT COVER), HOWEVER THEY DID HAVE A DISTINCT MONO CATALOG NUMBER (V-8741) IN THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER AND ON THE SPINE; WHEREAS STEREO PRESSINGS HAD A VISIBLE AND PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED “STEREO” BANNER IN THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND CORNER, ACCOMPANIED BY THE STEREO CATALOG NUMBER. IN ADDITION, IN ORDER TO DISPLAY MONO CATALOG NUMBER (WHICH APPEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER), THE PAPER SLICK ON THE COVER HAD TO BE PUSHED UPWARD, THUS REVEALING MORE OF ZAPPA’S (DIRTY, OF COURSE) SNEAKERS , AND LESS OF HIS AFRO, THAN ON THE STEREO VERSION This is the first stage of selling my personal collection of 15,000 LPs 10,000 45's and 2,000 78s Genres will include Jazz, Rock, R&B, Doo-Wop, Folk, Blues, Classical, Country, Soundtracks, Comedy, Pop and Picture Discs collected over the last 55 years while also working for many Major and Indi Record Companies.
