All records come in individual album covers, which are then housed inside sturdy outer boxes. These were produced and overseen by Zappa, and were released on his own Barking Pumpkin Records label. They came out in a limited edition and are individually numbered on the back of each box (number begins with "ZM" followed by a 5-digit serial no.) -- Box One is #ZM1-11551; Box Two is # ZM2-03769; Box Three is #ZM3-00361.

These are in great shape! The outer boxes definitely have some overall shelf-wear (but remain sturdy and intact), but the individual album covers look fantastic, and the vinyl looks practically UNPLAYED!!

These are being sold as a complete set, and due to the weight, the shipping cost will be increased.
Domestic shipping to the U.S. will cost $15.00.
International shipping is available through Priority Mail only.
Shipping to Europe, Asia, and Australia will cost $108.00(USD).
Shipping to Canada will cost $105.00(USD).
