Description
Here is another classic from the art rock genius. This album finds Zappa focusing on his jazz instincts, with assistance from some incredible musicians. You’ll hear Shuggy Otis on bass, Sugarcane Harris on violin, along with several other brilliant musicians. There is even a brief vocal appearance by Captain Beefheart. This is a true jazz rock masterpiece. The album was released on Reprise/Bizarre in 1969, number RS 6356. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just one long hairline on side one and a few very light paper scuffs that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG. The gatefold album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a very thin one inch split in the middle of the bottom seam. The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There is a name written on the front. The cover grades VG.
Track List:
Peaches En Regalia
Willie The Pimp

Grading Information:
I always clean and listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.
I use four grades in grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background noise. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.
Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $7.00 in the continental U.S. I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $7.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Also, please keep in mind that if your entire transaction totals $50 or more, I will pay the entire shipping cost.
Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $28. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $40. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
