A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT purplegallinule
I have been a music lover and vinyl enthusiast since the early 1970s and over the past years have become an established and trusted eBay seller of a large and very wide range of vinyl records. The vast majority are authentic, original pressings featuring quality music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, but occasionally more recent releases if they are of particular interest. 
I am a GENUINE, INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE SELLER not a professional dealer, although you can be 100% assured that I will strive hard to apply thoroughly professional standards to every aspect of our eBay dealings. In the unlikely event that we ever did run into any problems then please do not hesitate to contact me and you have my unequivocal guarantee that the matter will be resolved without delay. I am very privileged to have a loyal and highly valued band of returning customers and there is no satisfaction greater than when customers come back for more.
All the records which I sell have been very well cared for, though I will give an honest appraisal of their condition and will put up plenty of photos of the actual records for sale so you can see exactly what you are bidding on. I endeavour to highlight anything in the description which I would want to be made aware of before I decided to place a bid. I am very aware that, as a distance buyer, you are entrusting in the honesty of the item descriptions and I always aim to describe the items truthfully. Should you need further details on a particular record then I will happily provide more details and extra photographs. 
Every single record, whether a £5 or £500 album, goes through the same extensive 4-stage deep cleaning process using either professionally constructed ultrasonic or wet vacuum systems using record cleaning fluids of only the finest quality and purity, with techniques and formulae tailored and developed from the experience of cleaning 1000s upon 1000s of albums, so the vinyl is all immaculately clean and dust free. Every record is then inspected under the bright and highly revealing light of an inspection lamp and then the relevant visual results of this are noted in the descriptions.  
A note regarding the most important matter of all - the audio - as with all vinyl, even straight out of the cellophane, there can be light crackle or very light 'ticks/pops' during the quiet passages. I have listened carefully to all these records so I will include in the descriptions any aspects of the audio playback which needs to be highlighted and although obviously subjective, the only measure by which I make an informed decision is that ultimately if I wouldn't be absolutely 100% happy to immediately slide the record in alongside my own personal treasured collection, then quite simply it will not be listed for sale on here.
All records will be supplied to you in a high quality clear outer wallet to protect the sleeve and the vinyl in a top quality poly-lined inner.

Frank Zappa - 'Hot Rats' - 1978 pressing vinyl album on Reprise Records in excellent condition. The matrix reads 59021 A2 / B2 with 'Strawberry' stamped to the run outs. The run outs also carry the stamp of the world renowned 'Alsdorf' pressing plant, and as ever with their productions, this is a really fine sounding record.
The vinyl is in excellent condition and retains its original lustre with only very light superficial hairlines visible in bright light and I have played this album through and playback is excellent. I am listening to this sensational album as I type this, currently 'The Gumbo Variations' and the audio is superb, deep and bassy, yet still delightfully and crisply detailed characteristic of the music produced from the source of high quality well cared for and well produced vinyl. The guitar sounds currently filling my lounge are just exquisite.
The glossy gatefold sleeve features superb colour photographs of the artist and is in really excellent condition with only very light wear commensurate with age and careful handling and presents really well in its brand new high quality clear gatefold protective outer jacket.
The vinyl is now housed in a brand new high quality poly-lined inner sleeve for safekeeping. 
Please take a look at the photos which were taken today and are of the actual record which is for sale here and give an accurate reflection of this 40 year old album's excellent all round condition.
This record in a nutshell :  a lovely looking and sounding late 1970's pressing of this 1969 highly critically acclaimed and sought after Frank Zappa masterpiece. The packaging is in great looking shape and the freshly machine deep cleaned vinyl delivers a lovely pin sharp audio and this album would make a very worthy addition to anyone's rock vinyl playing collection.
