Description
Zipper – Self-Titled (1975 Original Private Press)
Whizeagle Records W-0001 – Portland, Oregon Hard Rock / Proto-Punk Rarity
Up for sale is an original 1975 pressing of this highly sought-after private press LP by Zipper. This is the first release on Fred & Toody Cole’s Whizeagle Records label.
Key Details:
• Catalog #: W-0001
• Year: 1975
• Limited private pressing (reportedly only ~500 copies)
• Features Fred Cole on vocals (legendary later with The Rats, Dead Moon, and Pierced Arrows)
Condition:
• Vinyl: Mint / Unplayed – looks and plays like new. No visible scratches, scuffs, or marks. Clean labels.
• Cover: VG to VG+ (Goldmine standards). Shows typical age and construction wear for this DIY private press (taped edges common on originals). There is a small split on one bottom corner as shown in photos. Overall still very presentable with the classic collage-style artwork intact.
This raw, high-energy 1970s hard rock record is a cult favorite among collectors of Pacific Northwest rock, private press, and Fred Cole-related releases. Many copies have deteriorated over the years due to the hand-assembled covers, making clean examples increasingly difficult to find.

1. Bullets
2. Born Yesterday
3. The Same Old Song
4. Face of Stone
Side Two:
1. Scars
2. Rollin’ And Tumblin’

A genuine piece of underground PNW music history and a must-have for Dead Moon / Fred Cole fans or 70s private press collectors.
