1969 - FRANK ZAPPA WITH DON VAN VLIET VOCALS ON "WILLIE THE PIMP" - HOT RATS - THIS IS THE RARE ISRAELI PRESSING WITH A DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER HOT RATS PRESSING MADE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD ALBUM - THE COVER IS NON-FOLD-OUT - THE BACK OF THE COVER IS DIFFERENT TOO WITH THE IMAGE BEING PRINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE, AND THE RECORD INFORMATION THAT HAD BEEN NORMALLY PRINTED INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD PRINTED ON THE BACK, AND AS IF THAT WEREN'T ENOUGH, THE REPRISE RECORDS LABEL IS LIGHT GREEN, IT MIGHT NOT LOOK IT IN ONE OF MY PHOTOS THAT TURNED OUT TOO BRIGHT, BUT TRUST ME, IT IS. - THE RECORD ALSO COMES IN A SEPARATE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET TO PREVENT ANY ADDITIONAL WEAR ON THIS ULTRA RARE ALBUM COVER LONG AFTER YOU CROAK, AND THE RECORD IS REALLY NICE - REPRISE RECORDS RS 6356  CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND READ THE DESCRIPTION AFTER YOU SCROLL PAST THE USUAL OBLIGATORY CRUD BELOW - OK LARRY?

RECENTLY, A CONSUMER WITH AN INQUIRING MIND, COINCIDENTALLY NAMED LARRY ASKED ME:

HEY REV, HOW COME YOU OFTEN WRITE "OK LARRY" IN YOUR LISTINGS? THIS LARRY WANTS TO KNOW.

WELL LARRY, IT'S BECAUSE IN A RECENT SURVEY CONDUCTED BY REV. A. WEST, THE GREATEST LIVING ZAPPA SELLER KNOWN TO MANKIND, IT TURNS OUT THAT 70% OF ALL MALES , WHO SAID THEY LIKED FRANK ZAPPA WERE NAMED LARRY. NOW CHECK THIS OUT: OF THE REMAINING 30% THAT LIKED FRANK ZAPPA, BUT WEREN'T NAMED LARRY, 20% WERE FEMALES, 30% ALTHOUGH THEY WEREN'T ACTUALLY NAMED LARRY, HAD FRIENDS WHO OFTEN CALLED THEM LARRY ANYWAY, AND ANOTHER 40% LATER ADMITTED TO ME THAT THEY DIDN'T REALLY LIKE FRANK ZAPPA, BUT TOLD ME THEY LIED JUST TO F*CK UP MY SURVEY.

ALSO, I'D BET THAT MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE FEMALES WHO WEREN'T NAMED LARRY, BUT CLAIMED THEY LIKED FRANK ZAPPA WERE PROBABLY LYING TOO. BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT FEMALES  NEVER REALLY LIKED FRANK ZAPPA ANYWAY. SO WHAT DOES ALL O' THIS CRUD MEAN?

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT NAMED LARRY AND LIKE FRANK ZAPPA, YOU JUST MIGHT WANNA CHANGE YOUR NAME. SO YOU CAN BE LIKE THE OTHERS, JUST LIKE YOU. OK LARRY?

SIDE 1 POOTS FORTH: PEACHES EN REGALIA - WILLIE THE PIMP - SON OF MR. GREEN GENES. 

SIDE 2 OOZES OUT: LITTLE UMBRELLAS - THE GUMBBO VARIATIONS - IT MUST BE A CAMEL.

SOME PRETTY LIGHT RING EAR AND SOME YELLOWING ON THIS 47 YEAR OLD COVER. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO TAPE. NO WRITING.    

I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ALL THE WAY THRU ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE AND THEY PLAYED PERFECT, THAT JUST MIGHT BE BECAUSE VISUALLY, WHEN PLACING MY PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE ABOVE EACH SIDE OF THE RECORD, WHILE TWIRLING IT 'ROUND 'N 'ROUND UNDER A 100 100 WATT LIGHT BULB , THE RECORD LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, VIRTUALLY PERFECT. NO SCRATCHES, HELL, I DIDN'T EVEN SEE ANY SCUFFS AND I'M WEARING SOME SERIOUS GEEZER STYLE READING GLASS TOO. MAYBE THERE'S SOME SCUFFS I MISSED, YOU'D THINK THERE WOULD BE BUT IF THERE ARE THEY'LL PROBABLY BE A FIGMENT OF YO' IMAGINATION OR IN ANY CASE, INCONSEQUENTIAL. THE RECORD CAME IN A PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS INCLUDED AND ALSO THE AFORE-MENTIONED GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET. BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
