Long, Long Out of Print in this Beautiful Three Vinyl LP Presentation.
This is a truly a Must Have Item for the  Frank Zappa  Fan/Collector.

Please note: All of the items that I sell are from my own personal collection.
This is a collection that I have maintained and added to for well over 30 years.
I, am not a store, or a business. I am a private collector, selling off some of my personal collection.
So, if my turn around time takes a little longer then promised, I apologize in advance.
But I have a life, and sometimes things get in the way of my e-baying.

Also, I always ship items in proper shipping packaging, with padding or packing peanuts or                                                                                cardboard bracing. Whatever is required to get it safely through the worldwide mail systems.

There is a small fee for the materials.

Many thanks.
