JAPAN ONLY  2LP Tin Can  BATTLE OF THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION & Eric Burdon & Animals    FRANK ZAPPA (MM9071/72)

Description

Offered for sale is a complete copy of the Japan-only 2 LP compilation album Battle Of Eric Burdon And The Animals & The Mothers Of Invention by the Animals and the Mothers of Invention, packed in a metal film can.

This is the rarest title in Nippon Grammophon’s ten-album “Rock & Rock Battle” series issued in Japan in 1970 and 1971.

About this copy: This copy of Battle Of Eric Burdon And The Animals & The Mothers Of Invention is a 1970 pressing on the MGM label.

This set is complete, and includes besides the tin can 2 LPs (one by each artist,) a 12 page lyric/liner note booklet, two pieces of foam rubber.

The can is nice condition VG+, with  only slight wear at the edges and some discoloration on one of the inside of the can. 
The booklet is VG+ with a few minor wrinkles, but no tears, holes, or writing.  The two pieces of foam rubber are slightly discolored, but otherwise undamaged.

The two discs are Vg+  hardly played (probably once or twice)  no marks on the vinyl aside from some a very faint hairline However one of the label of the Mothers has some floating parts (air bubbles), so please check the images . Other Labels are mint
But this is still a  terrific copy of an ultra-rare Frank Zappa/Mothers item,

These two record sets consisted of one record each by two different artists, packaged in a large metal film canister such as what might be used for a 35mm theatrical film.   There are ten different titles in the series, but the can featuring The Animals and the Mothers of Invention is far and away the rarest title in the series.

Background: Japan is known for producing high quality records, along with albums that feature unique compilations and covers.  One rarely encounters anything as strange as Nippon Grammophon’s “Rock & Rock Battle” series, which was issued in 1970/1971.
