ATTENTION THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION/FRANK ZAPPA,VERVE LABEL,1960s LPs AND 1960s PSYCHEDELIC ROCK/PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 1ST UK PRESSING MONO ISSUE OF THE ALBUM BY THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION FEATURING FRANK ZAPPA:"ABSOLUTELY FREE" ON THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE EMI PRESSED THICK VINYL VERVE LABELS:VLP 9174 AND HAVING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1/B-1 MATRIXES AS WELL AS THE CURVED EDGES PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" TEXT AND THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS PENDING" TEXT AND THE 6710 DATE CODE(OCTOBER 1967)AS WELL AS THE "FILE UNDER POPULAR:POP GROUPS" TEXT NOT ON LATER REISSUES.
BY THE END OF 1967 MANY DEALERS ONLY OBTAINED MONO COPIES TO SPECIAL ORDER AS EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO LPs AND NOT FORGETTING MOST MONO COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON OLDER AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE AND WEAR.
THIS ONE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY TREASURED WITH GLEAMING SURFACES AND JUST ONE TINY MARK THAT SOUNDS FOR 25 SECONDS TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRACK:"PLASTIC PEOPLE" BUT NOT TOO OBSTRUSIVE AND A FEW ISOLATED "POPS" HERE AND THERE BUT THIS IS STILL A VERY VERY NICE COPY STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED MARK WHICH AS I SAID ONLY LASTS FOR 25 SECONDS!
HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO STICKS OR JUMPS. GREAT CLEAR SOUND!
THE COVER HAS SOME CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT STAINING BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A REALISTIC £10 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE FRANK ZAPPA AND OTHER 1960s/EARLY 1970s PSYCHEDELIC AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
