Description
This exceptionally clean early first pressing of Zappa's very collectible box set is in superb condition (see below for assessment of each individual part) and shows early matrix numbers 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, and 3F (see below). It has been owned exclusively by me since I bought it on release. This is the EU pressing CBS 66368 that features the 'Warren Curcurullo' misprint on disc 1's inner sleeve.
Although I'm listing the discs as being in Near Mint condition they are, to all effects and purposes, Mint because to my memory I think I only ever played one side (side four) and then put it on the shelf. I genuinely believe that two-and-a-half discs are completely unplayed. Please note however that you may still find the odd fingerprint on all three discs as I removed them for photography purposes and to get their matrix numbers.
The outer box is in Very Near Mint condition. The card is bright, sharp and undamaged. I have only marked it down from Mint due to a small smudge on the inside cover of the box (see pic 3), which might always have been there anyway as the box has only ever been opened a handful of times.
The original printed paper inner dust covers are all in Excellent+ condition. Two of the covers display corner curls (see pic 6) where they've slumped over time inside the box, but there are no rips or tears and all three remain bright and glossy.
AUCTION IS UK ONLY. From a smoke and pet free home. If payment is received before 1pm, it will be despatched same day (weekdays only). Albums will be in anti-static bags removed from the cover, sandwiched between the outer sleeve and inner dust covers, two card packers and shipped in a MusicMax Ultimate Strong Mailer.
