Well, if this is not a part of Rock history, I really don't know what is. This is the album which single- handedly defined every radical, subversive and in-your-face album recorded over the ensuing next 33 years. Not only is this one of the most creative and innovative albums ever made, it was a brainchild of one of America's most important and competent avant-garde classical composers of the XX century. The sound of the original vinyl issue will forever bury any CD version of this album you may have. At the time this was recorded, Lenny Bruce was still around, and very much hanging with the "Mothers", and his influence shows (and then some). The album includes a multitude of ingenuous and original ideas, not to mention that it contains the best-ever anti-racism song ever recorded by ANYONE ("Trouble coming every day"). Track listing: Hungry Freaks, Daddy - I Ain't Got No Heart - Who Are The Brain Police? - Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder - Motherly Love - How Could I Be Such A Fool - Wowie Zowie - You Didn't Try To Call Me - Any Way The Wind Blows - I'm Not Satisfied - You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here - Trouble Every Day - Help, I'm A Rock - It Can't Happen Here - Return Of The Son Of The Monster Magnet

Just to give you an idea how revolutionary and courageous this album was: it came out BEFORE: Beatles’ Revolver (let alone Sgt. Pepper), or The Doors’ first album or The Rolling Stones’ Aftermath or The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds or any of Jimi Hendrix albums; back in 1966, to the ears of general public, this album must have sounded like a bunch of space blobs making some really, really weird noises.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

We could not "feel" these abrasions with our fingertip, and we suspect that they are NOT audible.

(b)          The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.
