Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention audiophile limited edition 5 LP set in mint condition.
All discs play and sound incredible – a great collection for vinyl enthusiasts. Unfortunately the original box and the Mystery Disc were lost during a move so are not included with this set.
• For sale from original owner's private collection, purchased in late 1980s. • The sleeves remain near “as new” • Audiophile edition LP vinyl is immaculate and in mint condition, removed from inner sleeves for inspection only and never played. • Outer cover/back show minor signs of denting (see photos), edges clean with minor dents, inner sleeves perfect, no glue separation anywhere.
NOTE: Vinyl records are notorious for collecting dust. Despite the best audiophile products available to control vinyl dust accumulation, it’s nearly impossible to remove all of the dust all the time. Since these records are over 30 years old, with most never being removed from their sleeves, there will most certainly be some accumulation of dust visible on the vinyl. This will in no way affect the incredible sonic quality of these recordings, and is easily removed with the appropriate products and techniques to keep them dust-free and clean.

NOTES: • Freak Out! used the original stereo mixes, as confirmed by Joe Travers. • Absolutely Free also appears to use the original stereo mixes. • We’re Only In It For The Money uses a brand new 1984 Remix with some partial re-recording. All original Verve cuts are restored. • Lumpy Gravy also appears to use the original stereo mixes. • Cruising With Ruben & The Jets received a serious re-work, with the exception of “Stuff Up The Cracks”, which used the original two track mix and is different to the mixes subsequently released on CD. This is a much more radical re-work than We’re Only In It For The Money.
