In 1969 Warner/Reprise launched a series of bargain-priced label samplers dubbed Loss Leaders: available via mail order for two bucks or less, these remarkably generous compilations often featured B-sides and other non-LP tracks, but what's most notable is the sheer consistency of the listening experience. Warner and its affiliated labels housed a veritable murderers row of rock & roll legends, and only rarely does a disappointing track squeak into the mix. Zappéd is a particularly noteworthy entry in the Loss Leaders series, assembling a baker's dozen cuts from Frank Zappa's Straight/Bizarre imprint that together comprise some of the most avant-garde music ever issued on a major label. Veering wildly from the mutant blues skronk of Captain Beefheart's "The Blimp (Mousetrapreplica)" to Tim Buckley's celestial tone poem "I Must Have Been Blind" to Lord Buckley's word-jazz reverie "Governor Slugwell," the music celebrates the creative spirit at its most daring and potent -- and proves a stinging reminder of how calculated and tame major-label rosters have become in the decades since

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The album comes with the original "Big Ball" Warner/Reprise insert.

(d)          The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
