THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - THE XXXXX OF THE MOTHERS - 12" VINYL RECORD EARLY MOTHERS OF INVENTION PROMOTIONAL DISC JOCKEY RECORD - MANUFACTURED BY MGM RECORDS AND PRESSED ON THE VERVE RECORDS LABEL - VERVE RECORDS WHITE LABEL PROMO - V6-5074.

THIS IS A VERY RARE VERVE RECORDS WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL RECORD SENT TO RECORD STORES FOR IN STORE PLAY ONLY. IN THE LATE 60'S AND VERY EARLY 70'S, VERVE RECORDS USED TO PRESS BOTH YELLOW AND WHITE LABEL PROMOS OF EACH RELEASE. THE WHITE LABEL PROMOS WERE SENT TO RECORD STORES AND THE YELLOW LABEL PROMOS WERE SENT TO RADIO STATIONS. EVEN THOUGH THIS RECORD HAS A DJ PROMO STICKER ON THE FRONT, IT WAS NEVER SENT TO ANY RADIO STATIONS BUT TO RECORD STORES WHICH CARRIED THE VERVE CATALOG ONLY. YOU'LL SEE THE YELLOW LABEL RADIO STATION PROMO VERSION OF THIS ALBUM WHICH I WILL LIST NEXT. IT HAS " DISC JOCKEY RECORD - NOT FOR SALE " PRINTED ON BOTH LABELS WHERE THIS WHITE LABEL VERSION ONLY HAS " NOT FOR SALE " PRINTED ON BOTH LABELS. THE WHITE LABEL PROMO VERSION IS ALWAY MUCH HARDER TO FIND BECAUSE THEY MADE FAR LESS OF THE WHITE LABEL VERSION DUE TO THERE BEING LESS MAJOR RECORD STORES THAT THEY'D ACTUALLY SPEND MONEY TO SEND A FREE ALBUM THAN RADIO STATIONS, WHERE IF THEY ACTUALLY PLAYED ANYTHING FROM THE RECORD, SALES MIGHT INCREASE THEREFORE MAKING THE RECORD COMPAN MORE MONEY. OF COURSE IN THE CASE OF THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION, ONLY A HANDFULL OF THE SO CALLED UNDERGROUND RADIO STATIONS EVER PLAYED ANY OF THEIR MUSIC, AND WHEN THEY DID IT WOULD BE AT 4 IN THE MORNING AND MOST HIPPIES WERE ALREAY SLEEPING OR SO STONED THAT THEY WOULDN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHERE THEY WERE THE NIGHT BEFORE, MUCH LESS THAN WHAT SONG WAS BEING PLAYED ON THE RADIO AND BY WHOM.

HIGH QUALITY HEAVY CARDBOARD USED TO MAKE THE COVER. VERY LITTLE VISABLE WEAR ON THE FRONT, THERE'S A STICKER THAT HAS " DJ - NOT FOR SALE - STUCK ON IT. VERY LIGHT WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. THE BACK COVER HAS SOME LIGHT WEAR THAT'S  VISABLE NEAR THE TOP. BASICALLY A NICE HEAVY CARDBOARD COVER WITH LIGHT WEAR, MUCH LESS THAN YOU'D EXPECT ON A COVER THAT'S THIS OLD.

THE RECORD IS PRESSED ON HEAVY VINYL. [ REMEMBER THOSE DAYS? ] THERE'S SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES THAN CAN BE SEEN WHILE LOOKING AT THIS RECORD UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS. NONE OF THESE MRKS LOOK SERIOUS AND MANY OF THEM YOU'D REALLY NEED A BRIGHT LIGHT TO FIND. THE RECORD PLAYS GREAT, VERY LITTLE BACKGROUND NOISE. SOMEBODY WROTE THE NUMBER " 3 " IN LIGHT BLACK PEN ON THE LABEL OF SIDE TWO. THIS NUMBER IS LIGHT AND WASN'T WRITTEN OVER ANYTHING THAT'S PRINTED ON THE LABEL. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR THOSE INTIMATE MOMENTS. 

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: STATUS BACK BABY, WOWIE ZOWIE, YOU DIDN'T TRY TO CALL ME, INVOCATION & RITUAL DANCE OF THE YOUNG PUMPKIN, SOFT-SELL CONCLUSIONS.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: BOW-TIE DADDY, UNCLE BERNIE'S FARM, CONCENTRATION MOON, GO CRY ON SOMBODY ELSE'S SHOULDER, FLOWER PUNK, MOTHERLY LOVE.
