1986 - FRANK ZAPPA MEETS THE MOTHERS OF PREVENTION - EUROPEAN VERSION - 12" VINYL RECORD PROMOTIONAL LP - MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA AND PRESSED THE E.M.I. RECORDS LABEL - EMC-240492.

THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE AUSTRALIAN PROMOTIONAL PRESSING OF FRANK ZAPPA MEETS THE MOTHERS OF PREVENTION. BOTH LABELS HAVE " SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE " PRINTED ON THEM. IT IS ALSO THE EUROPEAN VERSION OF THIS RECORD WHICH HAD 3 DIFFERENT SONGS ON IT THAN THE USA VERSION. THE DIFFERENT SONGS ARE ON SIDE 2 AND ARE - " I DON'T EVEN CARE ", " ONE MAN - ONE VOTE " " AND H.R. 2911 " ALL WERE NOT INCLUDED ON THE USA PRESSING OF THIS RECORD BUT IT DOESN'T CONTAIN " PORN WARS " WHICH WAS ON THE USA PRESSING. THE COVER IS A DIFFERENT COLOR THAN THE USA VERSION, WHITE LETTERING WITH A BLACK BACKGROUND INSTEAD OF BLACK LETTERING WITH A WHITE BACKGROUND AS IN THE CASE OF THE USA PRESSING. ALSO THE WARNING, GUARANTEE WHICH WAS PRINTED ON THE USA VERSION IS REPLACED WITH EUROPEAN VERSION PRINTED ON THE COVER. FINALLY ALL USA COPIES WERE PRESSED ON THE BARKING PUMPKIN LABEL, THIS ONE NOT ONLY IS PRESSED ON THE E.M.I. RECORDS LABEL, BUT IT'S ALSO AN AUSTRALIAN PROMO COPY. THINK YOU'LL EVER SEE ON AGAIN?

THE COVER HAS A LIGHT RECORD INDENTTION ON THE FRONT AND BACK. A SMALL CREASE NEAR THE RIGHT EDGE ON THE FRONT AND AN AREA ON THE BACK COVER NEAR THE UPPER RIGHT HAND SIDE WHERE SOME OF THE BLACK COLOR CAME OFF. MAYBE THERE WAS A PROMO STICKER THERE OR PERHAPS SOME OTHER KIND OF STICKER THAT SOMEONE REMOVED WOULD BE MY GUESS. ONLY SPECKLED SPECULATION BECAUSE I DON'T EVER REMEMBER SEEING ANY PROMO STICKERS ON ANY PROMO LPS FROM AUSTRALIA, HEY, ANY PROMO LPS FROM AUSTRALIA ARE ULTRA RARE. [ SEE PHOTO ].

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ARE A BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT WHICH MEANS THAT I COULDN'T FIND ANY SURFACE MARKS WHILE LOOKING AT EACH SIDE UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS. I KEPT TURNING IT OVER AND LOOKING TOO, THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS REAL SHINY, THERE MAY BE SOME ULTRA LIGHT SCUFFS, BUT I THINK IF THERE REALLY ARE THEY WERE MADE BY THE PRESSING PROCESS, ANYWAY, A SOLID NEAR MINT. BOTH LABELS HAVE SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE PRINTED ON THEM. [ SEE PHOTOS ]. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND I'LL EVEN THROW IN THE PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE. HEY, YOU DON'T WANT YOUR RECORD TO GET THE CLAP, DO YOU?
