FRANK ZAPPA200 Motels
UK UNITED ARTISTS (UDF 50003) DOUBLE LP FIRST PRESSING (November 1971)
THE SOUNDTRACK TO ZAPPA'S SURREAL 1971 MOVIE
"Touring makes you crazy," Frank Zappa says, explaining that the idea for this film came to him while the Mothers of Invention were forever on the road.
The story, interspersed with performances by the Mothers and the Royal Symphony Orchestra, is a tale of life on tour - groupies and never getting paid.

LABELS: MINT
All four labels are clean, fresh and unmarked with no spindle traces at all that I can see.
Clearly seen little, if any play
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT (NEAR MINT)
All four vinyl surfaces shine like-new but there is slight 'blush' in places either from new or from 48 years of being untouched.
Either way this is purely cosmetic and has no effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Great set (if you're into the bizarre and experimental) and my play-check at volume found little to fault.
No clicks, tick or pops and just a little low-level surface noted on occasion (nothing really)
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The cover is crisp, clean and sharp with just a little rub on the corners/edges.
No splits or damage and all spine text clear and bold
POSTER: NEAR MINT
Unhung, unmarked and practically untouched
BOOKLET: NEAR MINT
Again, unmarked and practically untouched
