1967 - MOTHERS OF INVENTION - ABSOLUTELY FREE - ORIGINAL 1ST USA MONO PRESSING ON VERVE RECORDS - V-5013 - INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL UNCENSORED CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER THAT HAS THE SNEAKY "WAR MEANS WORK FOR ALL" PRINTED ON THE BACK COVER. { PLACE PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE IN FRONT OF PHOTO #7 }. ALSO THERE'S AN "X" MACHINE STAMP INDENTATION ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE BACK COVER WHICH MIGHT MEAN THAT THIS WAS ONCE A PROMO EXCEPT WITH NO PROMO LABELS. THEY USED TO DO THAT BACK THEN SOMETIMES WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH RECORDS WITH PROMO LABELS. NOW SPEAKING OF SNEAKY WORDS, INSIDE THE GATEFOLD COVER IS AN AD THAT SAYS SEND MONEY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN GET $1 MINIMUM TO FRANK'S PO BOX IN LOS ANGELES, HE'LL SEND YOU A LIBRETTO WITH ALL THE WORDS THAT ARE ON THIS ALBUM, EVEN THE SNEAKY ONES. ALSO THERE WERE SOME FREAK MAPS STILL AVAILABLE { PLACE PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE IN FRONT OF PHOTO #9 }. SO ON THE SUBJECT OF SNEAKY WORDS, THIS RECORD MIGHT BE THE ONE TO GET AS THERE'S A FEW DINOSAUR GEEZERS OUT THERE THAT SAY THEY CAN HEAR THE SNEAKY WORDS BETTER ON MONO COPIES THAN STEREO BECAUSE SOME OF THE WORDS GET BURIED IN THE STEREO MIX OF THE STEREO VERSIONS AND THE ORIGINAL MONO VERSION MIX WAS RELEASED ONLY ONCE OF THIS ALBUM BACK WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS FIRST RELEASED. ALL OF THE REISSUES WERE IN STEREO AND THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES WERE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE WHEN FRANK FINALLY GOT THEM BACK AFTER A LAW SUIT WITH MGM THAT HE HAD TO GET RE-RECORD SOME PARTS. HOWEVER IF YOU'RE A GEEZER WHO STILL CAN'T HEAR ALL THAT WAS GWINE ON BY EVEN LISTENING TO THE MONO VERSION, I'M INCLUDING A COPY OF THE 16 PAGE LIBRETTO THAT HAS ALL OF THEM WRITTEN DOWN. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THE LIBRETTO IS A COPY NOT THE ORIGINAL THAT SOME HUNGRY FREAK WOULDA' RECEIVED HAD SOMEBODY SEND IN THAT DOLLAR WHICH NOT MANY PEOPLE EVER DID. THE ORIGINALS CAN GET QUITE EXPENSIVE THESE DAYS AND SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TO SELL OR RENT THEIR HOUSE OR WIFE OUT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD ONE. BOTH SIDES PLAY PRETTY NICE WITH A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE, BUT ACTUALLY MORE QUIET COMPARED TO SOME OTHER MONO PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM I'VE HEARD. NO CLICKS. NO SKIPS. NO REPEATS. VISUALLY SOME SCUFFS MOST PRETTY LIGHT. THE ALBUM COVER HAS SOME YELLOWING, A FEW INCHES SEAM SPLIT ON THE BACK BOTTOM SEAM STARTING AT THE RECORD SLOT. THE FRONT SEAM WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE TOP OF THE ALBUM IS MOSTLY SPLIT. BUT NO RECORD WAS EVER PUT IN THERE YET THERE'S OBVIOUSLY TWO PIECES OF CARDBOARD ON THE FRONT WITH THE SLICK PASTED OVER. THE RECORD COMES IN ONE OF THOSE OLD ANTI-STATIC LIFETIME RECORD PROTECTION TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.- CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND IF YOU PLAN ON SINGING ALONG WITH THE RECORD AT YOUR NEXT BONGO PARTY OR WEENIE ROAST, YOU JUST MIGHT WANNA BE CAREFUL WITH WHOM YOU'RE SINGING ALONG WITH. OK LARRY?

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES MITCH MILLER LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL? YEAH, IF YOU'RE A DINOSAUR GEEZER YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, HE HAD THAT SING ALONG WITH MITCH TV SHOW. WELL NOT ONLY WAS HE SCARY LOOKING, BUT HE WAS AN A&R MAN FOR MERCURY AND COLUMBIA RECORDS. THAT'S RIGHT, HE WAS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE AND HE HATED ROCK 'N' ROLL. IN 1958 HE SAID "ROCK 'N' ROLL IS MUSICAL BABY FOOD. IT IS THE WORSHIP OF MEDIOCRITY, BROUGHT ABOUT BY A PASSION OF CONFORMITY". HUH? THEY SAY HE WAS BORN IN 1911 AND CROAKED IN 2010, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE, NOW CHECK THIS OUT: A FEW YEARS AGO THEY FOUND SOME OLD PAPYRUS SCROLLS IN SOME CAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHEN THEY DECIPHERED THEM, TO THEIR AMAZEMENT THEY DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THE DEVIL WOULD RETURN AS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE. HEY, THEY WERE WEARING SANDALS AROUND BACK THEN AND RECORDS DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. SO HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT? NOW THE GOVERNMENTS BEEN TRYING TO KEEP IT QUIET, THEY DON'T WANNA CREATE A WORLD WIDE PANIC. BESIDES, I HEAR THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CHECK OUT IF MITCH REALLY DID CROAK, OR IF HE'S STILL LURKING AROUND SOMEWHERE. SO ROCK 'N' ROLL MIGHT NOT REALLY BE SATAN'S MUSIC, AND YEZ BETTER BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO YEZ SING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS. OK LARRY?
