THIS IS A 1973 STEREO WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL PRESSING,ONE OF JUST A FEW HUNDRED COPIES MADE IN ADVANCE FOR DJs AND REVIEWERS. HARDLY ANY COPIES SURVIVE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE AS MOST DJs/RADIO STATIONS WOULD ADD WRITING OR DAMAGE THE DISC WITH FAST HANDLING AND GENERAL USE! THIS IS OF ONE OF THE BEST EVER DOO-WOP/ROCK AND ROLL LPs  SO OUT OF CHARACTER COMPARED TO THE  OTHER ZAPPA PSYCHEDELIC/HEAVY ROCK INVOLVED OFFERINGS BEFORE AND AFTER THIS LP WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OF SALES INITIALLY FAILING TO CHART IN THE UK AND THE USA,NATURALLY 1ST USA STEREO  EDITIONS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANYTHING APPROACHING NEAR MINT CONDITION MAKING THIS FANTASTIC DEMO/PROMO EXAMPLE FROM 41 YEARS AGO BEING AN EXCITING ALTERNATIVE! THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED! MERCURY SRM-1-659. VERY CLEAN "GROOVED" LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR,STAINING OR WRITING! THE RECORD IS STRICTLY GRADED AS  NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY TINY,LIGHT/FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS ONLY VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME!-NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MERCURY/VERTIGO/PHILIPS LPs INNER SLEEVE WITH SOME RARE LPs ADVERTISED WITH A FEW CREASES BUT NO SPLITS OR WRITING.   THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME RING WEAR STAINING AT THE BACK AND A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

THE THICK SPINE DETAILS CAN BE EASILY READ.

FAR BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS SERIOUSLY RARE LP

A LOW REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE BUT EXPECT KEEN BIDDING ON THIS RARE DEMO LP.  A HIGH WINNING BID WILL REQUIRE EITHER SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR POSTAGE-QUOTES ON REQUEST.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many ollectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
