Frank Zappa "Beat The Boots" Limited Edition

8 LP Box Set

Original 1st UK Press, Stereo, 1991 Rhino Records: cat no. R-70907

A beautiful copy of the limited-edition box set "BEAT THE BOOTS I" by the legendary FRANK ZAPPA, released by Rhino Records in 1991. Includes eight LPs (two of which are doubles) of recordings previously only available as bootlegs. Performances represented were done between 1967 and 1979. A pretty incredible packaging job on this one as well; it comes in a heavy outer box with a 3D pop-up scene of Zappa playing to an audience that greets you when you open it up. Also included is the T-shirt that came inside (unused), and the "Beat The Boot" button that was included at the time of release NICE! All LPs come with the same cover art they had when originally booted. This is a fantastic copy. A total monster release, and a must for the dedicated Zappa vinyl hounds.

UK Record Collector Grading System:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (US version of this term: Near Mint): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (US version of this term: VG++): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover, or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (US version of this term: VG): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits etc.
