DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE

IN TAIWAN THE "WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY" LP WAS PRESSED ON THE FIRST RECORDS LABEL. MOST OF THE PRESSINGS WERE PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL, BUT SOME WERE PRESSED ON THIS ORANGE VINYL WHICH SOMETIMES GETS MISTAKEN FOR RED VINYL. THOSE COLOR VINYL FIRST RECORDS PRESSING ARE VERY RARE BEING PRESSED 44 YEARS OLD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. SOME PEOPLE CALL THEM CHINESE PRESSINGS WHICH IS CLOSE ENOUGH AS TAIWAN WAS ONCE A PART OF CHINA ANYWAY. DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS EVER GIVEN BACK TO CHINA BUT CERTAINLY NOT WHEN THIS LP WAS PRESSED.

THE ALBUM COVER IS STILL COVERED WITH THAT PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE THAT THEY USED WHICH ACTUALLY HOLDS THE COVER TOGETHER. A FEW INCHES PLASTIC OUTER COVER SPLIT NEAR THE CENTER OF THE TOP SEAM. ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THE PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS THAT IT PREVENTED RING WEAR WHICH THERE IS NONE, ACTUALLY THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TAIWAN FIRST RECORDS COVERS I'VE SEEN IN MY 35+ YEARS OF RELENTLESS FRANK ZAPPA AND RELATED ITEMS SEARCHING / COLLECTING / TRADING.

THE RECORD LOOKS GREAT. NO VISABLE SCRATCHES OR PAPER SCUFFS WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. ALSO THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT WHEN I PLAYED IT ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE AND IN SOME IMAGINARY INSTANCES ALLOWS THE LISTNER TO HEAR WHAT HAD BEEN GWINE ON IN THE SOUND BOOTH WITH THE GROUPIES . IN ANY CASE THERE'S ONLY BASICALLY NORMAL VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE IN A FEW PLACES WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH COLOR VINYL. CERATINLY NO CLICKS, POPS OR SKIPS AND SOUNDS BETTER THAN I'D BET MOST OF THE ORIGINAL U.S.A. PRESSINGS OF WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY WHICH ALWAYS HAD SOME SURFACE NOISE AND MANY WERE SIMPLY CRAPPY DUE TO BEING PLAYED AT TOO MANY PARTIES WITH TOO MANY STONED HIPPIES PRESENT THAT SOMETIMES BUMPED OR FELL INTO THE TURNTABLE. THE RECORD COMES WITH THE AFORE-MENTIONED GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET AND A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE, BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT,  I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.

AND NOW A WORD ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE MANY FRIENDS AND GREAT CUSTOMERS IN MANY COUNTRIES I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE OVER THERE LIKE TO GET FREE ITEMS SIMPLY BECAUSE FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIR MAIL DOESN'T PROVIDE A TRACKING NUMBER WHICH PAYPAL REQUIRES.

I TRY TO KEEP THE SHIPPING COSTS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE BUT WITH RARE RECORDS LIKE THIS ONE SOMETIMES REQUIRE EXTRA PROTECTION. ALSO ANY CUSTOMS FEES ARE NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY. CHECK WITH YOUR CUSTOMS OFFICE TO DISCOVER WHAT IF ANY FEES YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY? DON'T LIKE YOUR COUNTRY'S CUSTOM FEES?
