Frank Zappa/Mothers of Invention : lot of 3 vinyl lps. :
Frank Zappa : Hot Rats - Bizarre/Reprise RS6356 The Mothers of Invention - We're Only in it for the Money - Verve/MGM V6/5045 The Mothers of Invention - The Worst of the Mothers - MGM SE 4754
I was (and still am) a Zappa fan. Hot Rats and "We're Only in it"  are my duplicate vinyl copies. These are (or are close to) the original issues of these albums and not the more recent reissues. I've had both of these for at least 20 years. As you can see,  the "We're Only in It" lp has a white/blue stamp on it with MGM printed on it, while the copy that i'm keeping has the standard all blue Verve logo. I'm not a dealer but a music enthusiast, but I would characterize both covers to be in very good condition. I sampled most of both lp's on my record player. I heard an occasional high frequency pop here and there but it didn't bother me. Those might be eliminated by a good cleaning. I would say that both are in VG to EXC condition. 
I inherited "The Worst of" from my brother who happened to die from COVID. It's a compilation lp, culled from the 1st 3 Mothers releases. The top edge of this cover shows wear and is opened; the rest of the cover looks OK by me.  In my sampling of the lp, it actually sounds very good. My brother probably bought it used but it sounds like it was rarely played.  I'm so used to the sequencing of the original releases, I can't see myself playing this, so i'm throwing it in to fill out the package.  There are no visible blemishes on the discs. Those that appear on the pics are from reflections of me taking the pics.  I'll ship them UPS media.
