Description
Starting to downsize and release some of my eclectic record collection and for auction here is my copy of Hampton Grease Band's 1971 epic double vinyl gatefold sleeved album "Music To Eat".
This is an American Import so the top left corner of the cover have been "officially clipped" to show it is an imported album, as they did back then.
Released on Columbia ~ Ref No: G 30555 ~ the LP centre labels are red with black data & information and COLUMBIA in Orange. Although the Ref No: G 30555 is shown on the label, it also states "C 30582" and "AL 30582".
Cant quite manage a picture of the Run out / Matrix's, but I did try, which are almost the same as the Discogs data below, but as shown slight difference on my C side.
Played a few times only post purchase, then placed in record collection and only came out again today some 45+ years later ~ apparently this is very Zappa!!
Details as plagiarised from Discogs as follows [just because it saves me typing it all myself!!]:

This copy for auction here is a Variant 2 version however my Side C states 1B and not 1A as above???.
Condition as per report above & photographs which form part of the listing.
Please Note: I only clean lightly with a branded vinyl [record] cleaner and an anti static cloth. New owners will be best to use their favoured product(s) to clean. As this is quite old, it will benefit from a more deep clean to remove any deep down dust trapped in the grooves.
Will be posted out 1st class signed for via Royal Mail ~ packaged using a bespoke Vinyl cardboard envelope with cardboard stiffener.
Where possible [size / weight etc] I always offer combined shipping. Please let me know if you require this.
Home collection is always offered to save post & packing costs.
International bidding is OK but ONLY via the e-Bay GSP. I know this is very expensive for some but safeguards buyers and sellers alike. The shipping fees are clearly displayed on the listing if you are not looking via e-Bay UK. I can not by-pass or over-ride these costs so please do not ask. GSP also does not allow any combined postage for multiple purchases so again, please don,t ask as I can not over ride this either.
No postage to PO Box No's or BFPOs either ~ sorry.
No returns on this item thanks - unless seriously not as described.
No scammers please ~ it will be posted tracked & proof of delivery received!!
Listed with no reserve and no buy it now set!!
Past & current values can usually be worked out via e-Bay sales history &/or Discogs Statistics!!
Sold as described and photographed.
Any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Please note: I am NOT a dealer, but a private seller who is just downsizing from nearly 45+ years of collecting stuff and having retired last year I'm selling on items we no longer have space to store and to raise much needed "retirement" funds.
Most of my items deserve to have a new owner & a home where they can continue to be looked after, enjoyed and saved for future generations.
Please check out my other eclectic items we are parting with - something may tickle your fancy :).
Thanks for looking and reading all the above [if you did :)] ~ happy e-Baying and good luck if bidding :).
