1981 - FRANK ZAPPA - SHUT UP 'N PLAY YER GUITAR - THIS IS THE MAIL ORDER VERSION THAT HAD BEEN ONLY AVAILABLE FROM BARFKO SWILL - BARKING PUMPKIN RECORDS - BPR-1111. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU HEARD RIGHT, NOT AVAIL IN STORES. NOTICE THAT THERE'S NO ALBUM TITLE PRINTED ON THE FRONT COVER. INITIALLY FRANK SAID THAT THOSE 3 SHUT UP 'N PLAY GUITAR LPS WOULD ONLY BE SOLD BY MAIL ORDER WHICH MEANS YOU HAD SEND MONEY TO FRANK'S COMPANY BARFKO SWILL AND THEY'D PACK IT UP AND SEND FROM THEIR VENTURA HIGHWAY JOE'S GARAGE WAREHOUSE. HOWEVER A YEAR OR SO LATER DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND ACCORDING TO FRANK, HE SOLD THEM THRU TRADITIONAL RETAIL SOURCES AS BOX SETS AND EVEN LATER ON CDS. FINE SOUNDING RECORD. NO SCRATCHES OR EVEN HAIRLINES. SOME FAINT PAPER SCUFFS IF YOU BOTHER TO TWRIL THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A LIGHT TO TRY 'N FIND EM'. LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THE COVER WITH VERY LITTLE RING WEAR. NO SEAM SPLITS. INCLUDES THE COOL DIFFERENT PRINTED PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHERE FRANK IS TRYING TO UNLOAD SOME TRANSCRIPTIONS OF SOME OF THESE SOLOS. I THINK BACK THEN HE HAD STEVE VAI DOING THE TRANSCRIBING. A COUPLE INCHES SEAM SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF ONE SEAM ON THE INNER SLEEVE. HOWEVER YOU DON'T HAVE TO STORE YOUR RECORD BACK INSIDE, BECAUSE THE RECORD COMES IN A BRAND NEW COLLECTOR'S HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. BUT WAIT.., THERE'S MORE, BECAUSE IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. SO WADDA YEZ WAITIN' FOR, HUH?

RIGHT LARRY?
