FRANK ZAPPA 200 MOTELS UK VINYL 1ST PRESS UDF 50003
A great copy of this double art rock album by Frank Zappa. I have played it and it sounded perfect. Near mint vinyl. The cover is near mint too with barely any shelf wear and a near perfect spine. Comes with the original poster and booklet.
A great addition to any collector's collection.
I have taken quality pictures to help in assessing the item.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
ITEM WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKED AND INSURED TO FULL VALUE.
"200 Motels is a 1971 surreal musical film written and directed by Frank Zappa and Tony Palmer, and featuring music by Zappa. An international co-production of United States and the United Kingdom, the film stars the Mothers of Invention, Theodore Bikel and Ringo Starr.
A soundtrack album was released in the same year, with a slightly different selection of music."
