From a local collection, here is a large lot of Frank Zappa LP records. There are a total of 32 pieces here, including some single records, 2-LP sets, box sets, and one cassette box. Various titles, labels, and ages, some will be early or original pressings, others are probably later pressings or re-issues. This collector obviously cared about his records, most everything here will grade to VG+ or better and lots of NM (see actual list and grades below). There is a musty odor to some of these but that should air out. If you're looking to begin a Frank Zappa collection, here's your chance at a pretty good start. Here's the list:
