    The Mothers of Invention
FREAK OUT ! 

ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL, ON THE BLACK VERVE LABEL, AND PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER !!!!

THIS IS THE BRILLIANT 'THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION', FORMED IN CALIFORNIA, AND WITH MR FRANK ZAPPA WHO WAS FROM BALTIMORE IN MARYLAND, AND THIS THEIR DEBUT, AND VERY FIRST ALBUM, RELEASED ON 27th JUNE 1966 !!!! THEY WERE ORIGINALLY A SOUL R&B BAND, CALLED, 'SOUL GIANTS'. WHEN FRANK ZAPPA TOOK OVER HE INSISTED THEY PERFORMED HIS ORIGINAL MATERIAL, AND ON MOTHERS DAY, IN 1965 HE CHANGED THE BANDS NAME TO, 'THE MOTHERS'. RECORD PRODUCERS WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE NAME AND DEMANDED IT CHANGED, SO MR ZAPPA SAID, "WE BECAME THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION", AND THE REST IS ROCK HISTORY !!!! ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE ALBUMS EVER RELEASED, AND CERTAINLY A MUST HAVE, SO IT WILL BE A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!! DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1ST PRESS  :: V6 5005 A-1 ::  V6 5005  B-1 .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER AND EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1  A  ::  1  R .

'SOLD IN K SUBJECT TO RESALE' LABEL TEXT .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, '6703 TPS PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd, PATENTS PENDING VLP 9154  SVLP 9154, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH NO RUB, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. LOVELY LAMINATE WITH SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BACK I THINK IS BEST DESCRIBED BY LOOKING AT THE PHOTO, THANK YOU. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG/VG+ . 
VINYL :: NOW THE AUDIO PLAYS VERY WELL, BUT THERE IS A MINOR ISSUES ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2 JUST AFTER THE START WHICH WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION BELOW, THANK YOU >>>> SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS THREE POPS, AND TWO TICKS AFTER THE START . TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO SOFT POPS TOWARDS THE END . TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START . SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START . TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 6 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START AND TWO MORE IN THE MIDDLE . TRACK 7 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 8 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT THERE IS NO CRACKLE OR ANY STATIC, SO THE AUDIO IS CRISP AND CLEAR WITH JUST WHAT IS MENTIONED IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION ABOVE !!!! VISUALLY THERE IS A SMALL MORE NOTICEABLE SLIGHTLY FEELABLE THIN SCUFF LINE AT THE END OF TRACK 2 AND START OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, WHERE THOSE TWO SOFT POPS, AND THREE FAINT TICKS CAN BE HEARD AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND ALSO A VERY TINY WHITE MARK AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1 ALSO ON SIDE 2, WHICH CAUSES THREE POPS AND TWO TICKS, AGAIN AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SO APART FROM THAT, IT PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED, AND IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, THEN YOU CERTAINLY WILL ENJOY THIS AMAZING UNIQUE ALBUM. AS YOU CAN SEE A VERY HARD ONE TO AUDIO GRADE, SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE, WHICH I THINK IS THE BEST WAY >>>> ALL OF SIDE 1,  I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO, AN OUTSTANDING :: EX/EX+ . TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, WITH ONLY THOSE THREE POPS AND TWO TICKS, BUT I WILL HAVE TO GRADE :: VG/VG+ . TRACK 2 AND TRACK 3,  I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX . 
SO AS YOU HAVE JUST READ THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN YOU PLAY IT !!!!

LABELS ::  NO ISSUES, JUST SOME SMALL SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .

INNER ::  NO SPLITS OR WRITING, JUST SOME AGEING. THE VINYL WILL COME IN  NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED  :: VG+ .
I MUST ADMIT SOME OF MR ZAPPA'S AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUMS ARE A BIT FREAKY, BUT THIS ONE, IS TRUE GENIUS, AND CERTAINLY A MUST HAVE ALBUM AS IT IS SO UNIQUE AND BRILLIANT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.
