FRANK ZAPPA Mothers of Invention FACTORY SEALED The Old Masters, Box One / 7 LPs

Description: A factory sealed copy of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's 7 LP box set The Old Masters Box One, on Barking Pumpkin Records. This contains Frank Zappa's 'digitally refurbished and spiffed up' versions of the Mothers of Invention's classic albums Freak Out (2 LPs), Absolutely Free, We're Only In It For The Money, and Cruising With Ruben & The Jets, with Zappa's solo album Lumpy Gravy, and the bonus album of previously unreleased tracks Mystery Disc, with a 28 page booklet. The limited edition was available only via mail order from Zappa's company Barfko-Swill. This example, numbered on the back ZM1-02512, is in Mint, unopened condition, other than a tiny ding/scrape to the lower left corner on the back. From Wikipedia: The box sets contained new masters mixed and edited by Zappa in his Utility Muffin Research Kitchen home studio, prepared for the compact disc format. The albums were remixed and reedited, and are substantially different from their original releases. We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked. Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition. See our other listings for more from this fantastic collection.
