$

69

ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON OCTOBER 15TH 1969 AND SAID BY SOME TO BE THE FIRST JAZZ ROCK ALBUM EVER MADE - FRANK ZAPPA - HOT RATS - VOCALS ON "WILLIE THE PIMP" } - HOWEVER, THIS PRESSING IS EVEN MORE INTERESTING, THAN THE FIRST PRESSING BECAUSE THIS PRESSING OF HOT RATS AND IS THE MADE AND RELEASED IN GERMANY ONLY ART & MUSIC COLLECTION - BENGT BOCKMAN / FRANK ZAPPA - INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS AN EXAMPLE OF BENGT BOCKMAN'S ART, WHAT I ASSUME TO BE HIS BIO - I QUIT TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK AND READ GERMAN }. ALSO INCLUDED PRINTED INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD COVER IS PROBABLY A PHOTO OF OL' BENGT HIMSELF . WHY THEY DECIDED TO FEATURE THE ART OF THIS GUY AND USE FRANK'S HOT RATS ALBUM TO PROMOTE IT IS A MYSTERY TO ME - THIS MONSTROSITY WAS RELEASED IN 1976 - MADE IN GERMANY AND PRESSED ON THE REPRISE RECORDS STEAMBOAT LABEL - REP 59021 - SO NOW THAT E-BAY HAS MOVED THE PHOTOS FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP OF THE LISTING - -YOU'LL NOW BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK DOWN AND PICKING UP YOUR HAIR PIECE - SO GO AHEAD NOW AND CHECK THEM OUT- OK LARRY?

LIKE ART? LIKE MUSIC? WANNA IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, NEIGHBORS, MISTRESS AND CO-WORKERS WHO ALL THINK YEZ HAVE NO CULTURE? WELL SIMPLY BUY THIS LP AND STICK IT SOMEPLACE WHERE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT, AND SOON YEZ MIGHT NOT ONLY GET YOUR STATUS BACK, BUT SOME PEOPLE, YES SOME PEOPLE JUST MIGHT QUIT THINKING THAT YOU'RE SIMPLY A DUMB OAF. OK LARRY?   

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

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: LITTLE UMBRELLAS - THE GUMBO VARIATIONS - IT MUST BE A CAMEL.

THE GATEFOLD ALBUM COVER IS PRETTY NICE, NO RING WEAR. THERE'S A SMALL INDENTATION LINE LIKE MAYBE A STAPLE MARK ON THE FRONT AND BACK COVER IN ABOUT THE SAME SPOT. HOWEVER THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD TO INDICATE THAT THERE WAS ONCE A STAPLE THERE. NO MARKS OR HOLES INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD OR LOOKING INSIDE OF THE RECORD SLEEVE IT'S SELF SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THAT. NO SEAM SPLITS.

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD LOOK AND SOUND GREAT WHEN I PLAYED THEM ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP AND AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE AND IN A FEW RARE INSTANCES EVEN ALLOWS THE LISTENER TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT HAD BEEN GWINE ON WITH THE GROUPIES IN THE SOUND BOOTH DURING THE RECORDING. . IN ANY CASE BOTH SIDES PLAY GREAT AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY UNUSUAL SURFACE NOISE THAT WOULDN'T BE ON ANY RECORD EVER PRESSED. VISUALLY WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD 'ROUND 'N 'ROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS THE RECORD LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. NO SCRATCHES AND MAYBE SOME ULTRA LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS THAT YOU'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO SEE IF YOU HOLD THE RECORD UNDER A LIGHT AT A CERTAIN ANGLE. LOOKING DIRECTLY AT IT YOU'LL SAY WOW MAN, IT'S REALLY NICE MAN. ALSO IF YOU HOLD THE RECORD AT A CERTAIN ANGLE UNDER A LIGHT YOU'LL SEE A KIND OF SMEAR ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL RIGHT IN THE AREA WHERE SIDE 2 IS PRINTED. DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS EITHER. IT'S NOT A STICKER RESIDUE I THINK AND THERE'S NO TEARS. IT'S JUST A LITTLE DARKER THAN THE SURROUNDING COLOR, KIND OF LIKE A SMEAR. ANYWAY IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING THAT'S PRINTED THERE. THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE...., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
