  FRANK ZAPPA                   Studio Tan                   (Discreet) Warner Brothers DSK 2291   Up for auction is a SEALED old stock U.S. Discreet (Warner Brothers) 1978 pressing of Frank Zappa's 24th release, "Studio Tan". Gorgeous contractual obligation lp, featuring the first ever commercial studio release of both REDUNZL and GREGGERY PECCARY, and a killer version of REVISED MUSIC FOR GUITAR AND LOW BUDGET ORCHESTRA. All tracks intended to appear on the lost Lather release. Nice sealed copy, 44 years old     
DEAD WAX INFO:  N/A as this is a flat, factory sealed copy. See Discogs entry if interested. Probably the first listed U.S. version.    VINYL VISUAL: N/A as this is a flat, factory sealed copy..
VINYL PLAY GRADE: N/A as this a flat, factory sealed copy.     
COVER VISUAL: VG+ and almost NM with full shrink and NO delete slices or holes. A beauty. Some minor pressure wear from decades of safe storage. 
Comes with original inner. However, I think that it is just a plain die-cut white paper inner.   DETAILS ON SELLER AND SHIPPING 
HELLO ALL. My name is Jamie, and I have been collecting records steadily for over 45 years.  After a bit of a respite from selling on Ebay, I am back and will be selling a ton of stuff over the next few years. My tastes run all over the map, so there will be something for everyone. All opened items will be visually AND aurally graded. All Dead Wax info will be listed. Play grade is done on a Thorens TD 165 through Yamaha amplification and JBL reference headphones (treble set high so there will be no surprises when you get the item)
ALL ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH PROPER MAILERS AND EXTRA PADDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS. I HAVE MADE FAR TOO MANY PURCHASES ON EBAY WHERE THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED WITH DINGED CORNERS DUE TO INADEQUATE PACKAGING MATERIAL. BY USING FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP IN ALL FOUR CORNERS, YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF AN ITEM WITHOUT DINGED CORNERS (OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER).             Non-tracked shipping throughout the U.S.A will be $13 CANADIAN per item, as will tracked shipping within Canada. Tracked shipping to the U.S.A. will be $16 CANADIAN for items under 500g, and slightly more for items over 500g. Most single sleeve items can be shipped as under 500g. Gatefolds and multi-sets will be over 500g. 
Being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing ALL of the shipping material cost, and some of the actual postage cost.
If you have issue with an item, PLEASE work with me to achieve an outcome that will be to your satisfaction. I do offer full refunds (excluding cost to get it back to me), on any item that is not satisfactory.       SINCE SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE (Thank You Canada Post), I will rarely list gatefolds or multi-items for sale overseas. IF ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS CRAZY INTERESTED IN ANY ITEM, I WILL QUOTE SHIPPING ON REQUEST. Since a lot of the stuff that I will be selling is of higher end quality, rarely will things be offered overseas. Sorry folks. Again, I can consider requests on an item-by-item basis. THANKS FOR READING, everyone.       Occasionally I will be selling rare and collectible CDs. Shipping obviously will be much less, around $5 CANADIAN within North America.
