Description
THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION: UNCLE MEAT
I will try my best to describe this record as honestly as possible. Photographs are included to help you assess condition and value. I accept that sometime issues like "sound quality" can be subjective so I offer a no quibble return policy if your purchase does not meet your expectations.
Overview: 1969 UK issue on Transatlantic. I saw the mothers on this tour, Frank remarked that he didn't expect anyone to buy his latest album as it was so expensive. For some reason it was, costing far more than anything else around and as a consequence only sold in minuscule quantities. This copy is remarkably well preserved with only a light crease to a corner of the sleeve knocking it down from near mint. The vinyl looks unplayed and sounds superb. There is no booklet with this copy.
Overseas shipping is via Ebay's GSP. If this is suitable for you I am prepared to ship by Royal Mail tracked and insured if you message me. Please don't ask me to falsify values for customs purposes.

The sleeve art of this issue (and other country/later issues) gives the updated title "Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution"
Recorded Oct 1967 through to Feb 1968.
