Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention – Södra 1 RARE BOOK + CD
You may have come across this CD in a single sleeve, but rarely as it was intended to be seen. This is the FULL Södra paper promotional book sent out to design companies and graphics companies in the UK. I can only hazzard a  guess upon how limited this is! Due to its complexities of production, with flocking, folding, glueing, Metal printing as well as embossing, this thing must have cost a fortune to produce.  I can only assume these were only available in the low (and I mean VERY LOW) numbers. The details from Discogs are as below, but this is for the CD ONLY. NOT THE BOOK. WHICH IS HERE WITH THE CD!
FREE UK POST. This comes as sent to me with stamps still attached. The stamps confirm I got this in 1995. 2 years after the original Z paper was produced. All of the pages reference "Z". Zero, Zebra, Zorn, Zen, Zodiacal Light, Zatapek, Zoom (space flight) and of course Zappa! Check the pictures for the full show. I sold another to a collector and he thought he had gone to Zappa Heaven. This IS The rarest of the rare. The CD's are available (if you can find one) at anywhere between $12 to $150, but they will NOT have this book. Starting at £150. This is the last one of the 3 I had. I have never seen any others come up for sale.   Reel Records – SÖDRA 1 Format: Full promotional paper A3+ book with CD, Single, Promo
