ULTRA RARE ‘LEAST-CENSORED’ MGM PROMO w/REV-F MATRIX both sides

VERVE found many of Zappa's Lyrics for this LP to be "Obscene", "Filthy" and "Disgusting" so cut a lot out shortly after the LP was initially released. Those that survived the censors wrath were mostly the in-house MGM pressings that were the first to hit the streets. Their Matrix Numbers all have REV-F in the Deadwax.
…famously many of the naughtier bits on Zappa’s originally delivered master tape for this album were deemed too dirty, subversive or weird to subject American youth to - and a cleaned up version was almost immediately pressed for the marketplace. …Here is the apparently earliest pressed version before the censors went to work. The tracks: “Let's Make The Water Turn Black", "Harry, You're A Beast”, "Who Needs The Peace Corps?”, "Absolutely Free” and "Hot Poop" all got quickly censored, once the record company got wise.
Apparently the earliest (REV-F) pressings that snuck out early, before Zappa's lyrics got cleaned up have come to be known, NOT as 'Uncensored', but as 'Least Censored' or 'Less Censored', as a few things were already cut before the initial mastering (such as the ‘Velvet Underground’ bit from “Concentration Moon” which is NOT found here. Only the original CANADIAN issue LP had that.
MATRIX NUMBERS (etched - except sideways BLOCK s: STAMPED) SIDE ONE: V6-5045 SIDE-1 MGS-1250 - REV-F     3 2     s [sideways BLOCK s]
SIDE TWO: V6-5045 SiDE-2 MGS-1251 - REV-F     2 3     s [sideways BLOCK s] *The sideways stamped, funny block shaped "s" (faintly stamped) in the 6 o'clock position (SIDE 1), 7 o’clock position (SIDE 2) of the runouts denotes an original 1st pressing by MGM Record Manufacturing Division.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
VINYL is UNBANDED
There are no separation bands in between tracks, so both sides look like they only have one very long track.
Navy blue labels with silver print and 1.5" diameter center pressing ring
...do NOT have the later added Sunset Blvd. address printed along bottom rim.
Track B1 is mis-spelled on label, as “Nasal Retentive Caliope Music”, but spelled correctly as 'Calliope' on cover (inside Gatefold).
Track B4 is listed as "Lonely Little Girl" on the label and as "It's His Voice on the Radio" on the inner gatefold.
Catalog no. V6 5045X on rear cover and spine. V/V6 5045X printed inside Gatefold. 
Catalog no. V6 5045 on labels.

The VERVE Company INNER SLEEVE is also included both have the same promo drill hole in corner as the cover.

Finding the REV-F Least Censored issue - especially as a PROMO is extremely Rare There aren’t many at all of this original press in existence, especially so clean.

______________________________________________________________________________

From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
