FRANK ZAPPA - APOSTROPHE - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - MANUFACTURED IN KOREA AND PRESSED ON THE LI MING RECORDS LABEL - FEATURES A BLACK AND WHITE BACK COVER THAT INCLUDES KOREAN WRITING - LI MING - LM-2610.

THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE KOREAN PRESSING OF FRANK ZAPPA'S APOSTROPHE LP. IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE UNFORTUNANTE MILITARY PERSONNEL THAT WERE STATIONED IN KOREA IN 1973-74 AND WANTED TO HEAR SOME ZAPPA MUSIC YOU HAD A TOUGH ROAD AHEAD OF YOU. THE LOCAL MILITARY RADIO STATION CERTAINLY WOULDN'T PLAY ANY AND THE KOREAN STATIONS HAD A BUNCH OF GARBAGE THAT YOU COULDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. SO IF YOU WANTED TO HEAR SOME ZAPPA, YOUR ONLY CHOICE WAS TO DRIVE INTO TOWN AND GO TO SOME SHADY LOOKING KOREAN RECORD STORE AND HOPE THAT THERE WAS A ZAPPA RECORD IN THERE. USUALLY THERE WASN'T BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANY ZAPPA MUSIC SO THE KOREAN RECORD COMPANIES WOULD ONLY PRESS 50 TO 100 OF EACH ZAPPA TITLE AND MOST KOREAN STORES DIDN'T EVEN CARRY ANY ZAPPA UNLESS SOMEBODY CAME IN THERE AND STARTED ASKING FOR SOME.

THE COVER IS THE TYPICAL KOREAN THIN PAPER COVER WITH SHRINK WRAP AROUND IT THAT'S REALLY HOLDING IT TOGETHER. THERE IS A RECORD INDENTATION ON BOTH SIDES , A SMALL AREA OF OF SHRINK WRAP ON THE FRONT HAS A STRETCH MARK ON IT IN THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF A PRICE TAG OR STICKER THAT WAS REMOVED. THE BACK COVER HAS SOME LIGHT YELLOWING NEAR SOME OF THE EDGES. THE FRONT HAS THE LI MING RECORDS LOGO PRINTED ON IT NEAR THE TOP. THE BACK COVER, WHICH IS BLACK AND WHITE HAS ALL OF THE INFORMATION PRINTED ON IT IN ENGLISH ALONG WITH SOME KOREAN LANGUAGE INFORMATION PRINTED ALONG THE BOTTOM.

THE RECORD HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES WHILE LOOKING AT IT UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT BULB. BOTH OF THE SIDES RETAIN THEIR GLOSS AND NONE OF THE MARKS APPEAR TO BE SERIOUS, MOST BEING VERY LIGHT AND OF THE SUPERFICIAL VARIETY AND OTHER MARKS ARE JUST PAPER SCUFFS. THIS ISN'T BY ANY MEANS AN AUDIOPHILE PRESSING AND WASN'T WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW, BUT IT'S IN BETTER CONDITION THAN MOST OTHER KOREAN PRESSINGS THAT I'VE SEEN. THE LABELS ARE PRINTED WITH THE SONG TITLES IN ENGLISH AND THERE'S ALSO A BUNCH OF KOREAN PRINTING ON THEM. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE, A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET TO FURTHER PROTECT THE RECORD AND ORIGINAL COVER AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
