Description

This is an auction for a rare LP by, Frank Zappa, Mothers Of Invention, Freak Out.

This was released by Verve records in 1966 and has catalogue number VLP9154. This is mono. Please check the pictures for clarification.

Matrix: V 5005 A1 V 5005 B1

Condition: The sleeve has some discolour marks mostly seen on the rear. Buffing to the corners and mouth edge, lamination creases and a sticker on the rear top corner, unclear if this will peel. Spine fine, no tears, bends, complete and graded at VG.

This comes with its original 'patent' inner sleeve which has yellowing and pen writing.

Both labels look clean and near new, Under closer examination some spindle trails can be seen on each side. The centre hole shows little signs of wear.

The vinyl retains its shine, Under a strong light numerous light & feather scratches can be seen. I have test played this through both sides and took the following notes:

Side A- Strong audio with occasional background feckle heard. In quiet crossover from track 3 to 4 a few loud ticks can be heard, one on each rotation, perhaps four in total, these completely disapear as the music arrives of track four.

Side B- Midway through track two, when talking only can be heard, some crackles and quiet pops can be heard, these completely disapear before the piano kicks in. Like side one only the occasional quiet crackle can be heard through this side, except where mentioned. This maintains its strong audio with the music itself playing with no major deterioation in sound quality, no distortion, fading or dragging. This is not well played hence not appearing to suffer from much reduction in sound quality due to wear.

The vinyl is graded at VG+ and plays closer to near mint than VG.

Better than a gap filler, exceptable sleeve, fine labels, not well played with strong audio.
