1966 The Mothers Of Invention V6-5005-2 FREAK OUT & MS2094 WAKA/JAWAKA Zappa LPs
Sorry, I'm not the grader, I'm just the 64 year old guy who collected and played the records. There is a slight ring on the front cover of Freak Out 1966 V / V6 5005-2 from Verve Records, and the edges are very cleanly split with no repair attempts. Only one original Verve sleeve which is very clean and both records play very well but I do not know if they would carry anything better than a VG grading. The 1972 release Waka / Jawaka Bizarre Reprise MS 2094on the other hand has a very clean full intact cover and original sleeve and I would call the vinyl near mint. I will gladly send any specific or magnified photos that help to clarify gradings for you. Otherwise, I have to tried to price fairly in search of the next generational home for these 2 classics. I also just listed a group of 4 classic Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band albums if that is your thing. The group includes the Frank Zappa produced Trout Mask Replica. As always, free shipping, a donation to charity and the "Best Offer" listing format to consider all fair buyer offers. Arthur
