You are bidding on an LP.  The Mothers Of Invention – Weasels Ripped My Flesh, excellent condition cover and near mint vinyl (see notes below).  The item will be well packaged in a record mailer with 2 stiffeners (the vinyl removed and placed in a white paper sleeve to prevent seam splits) and sent immediately upon payment.  First Class postage in the UK, 'Standard International' to other destinations (see below).  I have tried to be as honest as I can about its condition but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Please read all the descriptions and P&P charges before bidding.

See my other Frank Zappa items for sale including some rare first press and save money on combined postage.

ABOUT THESE FRANK ZAPPA LP'S:
All these Frank Zappa LP's come from the same collection.  Apart from some natural degrading of the covers most of the vinyl is close to near mint unless otherwise specified.  The playback on most of these records is 'pure joy' with hardly any surface noise apart from the odd crackle and clicking in places which is down to natural dust, usage.  The vinyl has been very well kept and treated with respect.  If you are thinking of upgrading, completing or just enjoying some Zappa for the first time, this vinyl could be for you!

LISTEN BEFORE BIDDING
Listen to the whole album before bidding.

This is the original early press of The Mothers Of Invention 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' on the Reprise label from 1971.  The cover is still in excellent condition with some light creasing.  The labels are in excellent condition.  The vinyl has the 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The vinyl looks near mint, really bright and clean with virtually no marks.  Virtually no surface noise, some light crackle in places, excellent playback.  This is a really nice, well looked after copy of a classic album.  If you are intending to make a bid please play and listen to the audio of the album to judge for yourself.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
