Item description

Artist: Frank Zappa
Title: Sheik Yerbouti
Label: Zappa Records
Pressing info: 1st USA pressing auto-coupled version (LP 1 - sides A&D; LP 2 - sides B&C), incudes the two red-color inner sleeves with printed lyrics

Cover: cut-out bottom right-hand corner, light rubbing/ringwear on front and back and inside the gatefold, light seam wear and corner wear
Vinyls: all sides play great NM, visually under strong light vinyls look VG++ with some sleeve removal hairlines
Inner sleeves: cut-out bottom right-hand corner as is the case for the cover, they have ringwear and seam splits around the seam centers, these inner sleeves are made of thin illustration paper and are really challenging to find better

Please feel free to ask questions, request to see more photos, or ask me to play the record before bidding.

Vinyl grading

Vinyls are inspected under a bulb providing strong light. Careful visual grading unless otherwise noted.

MINT New record fresh from the factory.
NM Clean glossy surfaces with no marks. Expect to play line new.
VG++ Very few light marks that should not affect play. Expect to play like NM but visually not as good as NM.
VG+ Some marks are visible that may produce some sound deterioration in a few places. Still offers a very enjoyable listening experience, but not for the audiophiles or the meticulous collectors.
VG Numerous marks are visible. There will probably be some ticks, pops, and crackle, but overall offers an enjoyable listening experience. The vinyl is still nice and is by no means trashed!
G Numerous scratches. Expect to play rather rough.

Cover grading

All visible flaws in the cover will be mentioned in details. Do not expect any surprises!
