1981 - FRANK ZAPPA - YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS - 2 LP VINYL RECORD SET - ULTRA RARE NEW ZEALAND PRESSING - INCLUDING 2 PRINTED ON HEAVY PAPER 2-SIDED INSERTS WITH THE SONG LYRICS AND AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE SHUT UP 'N PLAY YER GUITAR BOX SET - MADE IN NEW ZEALAND BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARK [ PRINTED ON ALL LABELS ] AND PRESSED ON THE CBS RECORDS LABEL - S2BP 220-244.

YOWZER FOLKS, HERE'S THE ULTRA RARE NEW ZEALAND PRESSING OF THE FRANK ZAPPA YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS 2 LP SET. ONE OF THE COOL THINGS ABOUT IT, BESIDES THE FACT THAT IT'S VERY RARE ARE THE 2 LYRIC INSERTS AND THE AD FOR THE SHUT UP 'N PLAY YER GUITAR 3 LP BOX SET. THAT AD IS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF THE ADS THAT WE'RE USED TO SEEING IN THE USA AND TAKES SOME DIGS AT U.S. RECORD COLLECTORS. PART OF WHAT IT SAYS IS: " AS WE ALL KNOW, AMERICANS HAVE LITTLE OR NO INTREST IN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC [ WHICH IS WHAT THIS ALBUM CONTAINS ] , AND ZAPPA DID NOT RELEASE IT COMMERCIALLY IN THE U.S., BUT SINCE, AS WE ALL KNOW, RECORD COLLECTORS OUTSIDE THE U.S. ARE FAR MORE SOPHISTICATED, PERMISSION HAS BEEN GRANTED TO ALLOW COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THIS ALBUM THROUGH CBS INTL. " , HEY, THAT'S NOT ME TALKING BUT IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE STUFF THAT'S PRINTED IN THE AD. WELL IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE U.S.A. WHO HAVE ALWAYS LIKED ANY OF FRANK'S MUSIC, NOT JUST HIS INSTRUMENTAL STUFF, YET THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THIS 2 LP RECORD SET WERE MADE IN THE U.S.A, BUT ONLY SEVERAL HUNDRED WERE EVER MADE IN NEW ZEALAND, WHICH WAS NEVER ONE OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE ZAPPA WAS POPULAR AND IS OF COURSE WHY YOU VERY SELDOM EVER SEE ANY ZAPPA NEW ZEALAND PRESSINGS BEING OFFERED FOR SALE, [ UNLESS I'M THE ONE DOING THE SELLING ],BECAUSE AFTER ALL, I'M REV. A. WEST, THE GREATEST LIVING ZAPPA SELLER KNOWN TO MANKIND. HOTCHA!!!

THE GATEFOLD CARDBOARD COVER HAS SOME RING WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS, WITH LESS WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. IT'S NOT TOO BAD IN MY OPINION, BUT YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS. THE BACK COVER RING WEAR IS LIGHTER THAN THE FRONT AND DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH ANYTHING PRINTED ON IT.

BOTH OF THE INSERTS ARE PRINTED ON HEAVY PAPER AND THE SONG LYRICS ARE ON THREE OF THE SIDES WHILE THE AD IS ON THE OTHER ONE. LIGHT WEAR ON THE INSERTS IN THE FORM OF A FEW YELLOWING SPOTS AND A VERY LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION THAT YOU BASICALLY NEED TO MOVE THE INSERTS AROUND UNDER A LIGHT TO SEE AND DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH ANYTHING THAT'S PRINTED ON THEM. 

SIDE ONE HAS A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND I THOUGHT THAT I SAW AN ULTRA LIGHT SURFACE MARK ON SIDE TWO BUT WHEN I LOOKED AGAIN JUST TO BE SURE I COULDN'T FIND IT, SOME VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON THE FIRST SONG ON SIDE THREE THAT DIDN'T AFFECT PLAY AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY ON SIDE FOUR. BASICALLY THESE RECORDS LOOK GREAT AND SO DO THE LABELS. BOTH RECORDS COME WITH COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST DEAL ON EARTH, A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS PROVIDED IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR RECORDS MEET UP WITH ANY SLEAZY JOAN JETT LPS.
