1976 - FRANK ZAPPA WITH CAPTAIN BEEFHEART VOCALS ON "WILLIE THE PIMP" - THIS IS THE SPECIAL MUSIC AND ARTS COLLECTION VERSION ALBUM OF HOT RATS THAT WAS RELEASED IN GERMANY - REPRISE RECORDS STEAMBOAT LABEL - REP 59021 - I DON'T KNOW IF FRANK KNEW ABOUT THIS RELEASE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT'S AN OFFICIAL PRESSING BY WEA. THE ART PART OF THIS ALBUM IS BY GERMAN ARTIST BENGT BOCKMANN WHOSE ARTWORK AND BIO WITH PHOTO IS PRINTED INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. LOOKS LIKE HE'S KINDA' FREAKED OUT IN THE PHOTO WHICH GOES GOOD WITH THIS RECORD. THE MUSIC PART OF COURSE IS FRANK'S FAMOUS HOT RATS ALBUM WHICH SOME PEOPLE, YES SOME PEOPLE CLAIM WAS THE FIRST JAZZ ROCK ALBUM EVER MADE. THERE'S A BUNCH OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE ALBUM AND A FRANK ZAPPA BIO BY SIEGFRIED SCHMIDT-JOOS PRINTED ON THE BACK COVER. DON'T KNOW WHAT OLD SIG HAS TO SAY ABOUT FRANK BECAUSE I QUIT LEARNING HOW TO READ GERMAN EVER SINCE THEY STARTED TO MANUFACTURE THE PLOOKMASTER 2000 VACUUM CLEANER WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH HERE IN THE U.S.A. THE RECORD PLAYS NICE. A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES. NO CLICKS. NO SKIPS OR REPEATS. VISUALLY A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES AND SCUFFS. A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL WEA GERMAN INNER SLEEVE THAT HASA SEAM SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF ONE OF THE SEAMS. HOWEVER YOU WON'T NEED TO USE IT TO STORE YOUR RECORD AS THE RECORD COMES IN A NICE HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. NO SEAM SPLITS ON THE ALBUM COVER, JUST A LITTLE EDGE WEAR, A FEW CREASES AND LIGHT RING WEAR. THERE'S A COUPLE OF SMALL SQUARE AREAS ON THE FRONT COVER THAT MIGHT HAVE ONCE HAD A PRICE STICKER OR ANOTHER TYPE OF STICKER. ALSO IF YOU PLACE YOUR PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE IN FRONT OF PHOTO #9, YOU CAN SEE SOME WRITING LIKE AN X AND S. I DON'T THINK THAT'S IT'S INITIALS, LOOKS MORE LIKE A SYMBOL THAT MIGHT REPRESENT OR CONVEY SOME COSMIK MEANING. BUT SINCE I'VE NEVER ASSEMBLED BENEATH THAT SYMBOL, I DON'T KNOW OR WANT TO WASTE MY TIME TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IF ANYTHING IT MEANS. YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS OF ALL OF THE SECTIONS OF THE ALBUM COVER TO SEE IT ALL YO'SELF. BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. SO WADDA YEZ WAITIN' FOR, HUH?
