Burnt Weeny Sandwich is one of four albums by the Mothers of Invention that Frank Zappa released in 1970, after he had disbanded the original lineup. While Weasels Ripped My Flesh focuses on complex material and improvised stage madness, this collection of studio and live recordings summarises Zappa's various interests and influences.
It opens and closes on '50s pop covers, "WPLJ" and "Valarie." "Aybe Sea" is a Zappafied sea shanty, while "Igor's Boogie" is named after composer Igor Stravinsky, the closest thing to a hero Zappa ever worshipped.
But the best material is represented by "Holiday in Berlin," a theme that would become central to the music of 200 Motels, and "The Little House I Used to Live In," including a virtuoso piano solo by Ian Underwood.

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright and unmarked labels - one or two light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
A couple of superficial and harmless light marks - beautifully clean and shiny - seen little play
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT
Outstanding audio on this first pressing with a crystal clear, rich, detailed and warm sound and my play-check at volume found little to fault - a touch of low-level background noted on "Little House I Used To Live In" but no scratches or any other audible distractions of any kind
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from a patch of paper loss (front top corner) which isn't that prominent on this busy sleeve, the gatefold is in great shape - little edge or spine wear to speak of with all spine text clear and bold
