However, you do receive everything else: the outside box, inside 3D standup, button and eight albums (one of which is a double-LP) as shown. The cardboard box has a couple of dents and scrapes from wear but is still in good condition, and all of the LPs and covers are in very good condition.

Beat the Boots is an extremely rare collection of bootleg recordings by Frank Zappa (with and without the Mothers of Invention) which were originally distributed illegally, but were released officially by Rhino Entertainment in 1991. The eight LPs included span a fifteen-year period from September 30, 1967 ('Tis the Season to Be Jelly) to May 21, 1982 (two tracks on As an Am).
