If you're not familiar with this LP, Here's some additional information:

"Aside from the experimental side project Lumpy Gravy, Hot Rats was the first album Frank Zappa recorded as a solo artist sans the Mothers, though he continued to employ previous musical collaborators, most notably multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood. Other than another side project — the doo wop tribute Cruising With Ruben and the Jets — Hot Rats was also the first time Zappa focused his efforts in one general area, namely jazz-rock. The result is a classic of the genre. Hot Rats' genius lies in the way it fuses the compositional sophistication of jazz with rock's down-and-dirty attitude — there's a real looseness and grit to the three lengthy jams, and a surprising, wry elegance to the three shorter, tightly arranged numbers (particularly the sumptuous "Peaches en Regalia"). Perhaps the biggest revelation isn't the straightforward presentation, or the intricately shifting instrumental voices in Zappa's arrangements — it's his own virtuosity on the electric guitar, recorded during extended improvisational workouts for the first time here. His wonderfully scuzzy, distorted tone is an especially good fit on "Willie the Pimp," with its greasy blues riffs and guest vocalist Captain Beefheart's Howlin' Wolf theatrics. Elsewhere, his skill as a melodist was in full flower, whether dominating an entire piece or providing a memorable theme as a jumping-off point. In addition to Underwood, the backing band featured contributions from Jean-Luc Ponty, Lowell George, and Don "Sugarcane" Harris, among others; still, Zappa is unquestionably the star of the show. Hot Rats still sizzles; few albums originating on the rock side of jazz-rock fusion flowed so freely between both sides of the equation, or achieved such unwavering excitement and energy."

If you're not familiar with Classic Records or the Quiex SV-P releases , here's some additional information:

Classic Records has been producing HAND MADE / Audiophile quality reproductions for several years .... They are engineered from the original master tapes and pressed on 200 gram Super Vinyl. They take months to produce the master. Every precaution is taken to insure the most accurate sound reproduction possible.

Super Vinyl is produced in Japan at JVC, the only place in the world where such high quality vinyl is made. Super Vinyl gives an ultra quiet playing surface. It's a vinyl that is heavier and harder than ordinary vinyl. And it has no "memory". You can play a Classic SV-P record over and over again, without having to let it rest after each play. When an ordinary, soft vinyl record is played repeatedly, the groove walls tend to stretch and distort and the sound deteriorates.

While time consuming, their preoccupation with an exact sonic replica of the original master stereo tape creates an incredible listening experience. They cut no corners. They make no compromises. Every Classic Quiex SV-P recording will challenge your equipment and your listening ability."

The LP is NEW / FACTORY SEALED and in MINT Condition!!
