1975 - POP GIANTS - MADE AND RELEASED IN FRANCE ONLY 5 LP BOX SET WITH FOLD-OPEN INSERT - POLYDOR 2863015 - INCLUDES FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - CREAM { ERIC CLAPTON - GINGER BAKER - JACK BRUCE } - THE WHO { PETE TOWSHEND - KEITH MOON - ROGER DALTRY - JOHN ENTWISTLE } - THE BEE GEES AND JAMES BROWN - EACH ARTIST GETS AN ENTIRE RECORD - ROLL ON DOWN TO READ THE SONG TITLES. I'VE BEEN A FRANK ZAPPA AND RELATED COLLECTOR SINCE I WAS KNEE HIGH TO A PENGUIN AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS ONE EXISTED UNTIL A FEW YEARS BACK. IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN ANY PREVIOUS ZAPPA DISCOGRAPHY THAT I HAD READ OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING NOBERT OBERMANN'S ZAPPALOG SO THIS ONE IS PRETTY OBSCURE. IT WAS A PRETTY NICE QUALITY RELEASE TOO AS THE RECORDS ALL CAME IN ONE OF THOSE HIGH QUALITY PLASTIC INSIDE OF PAPER INNER SLEEVE. I PLAYED ALL SIDES OF EACH LP ALL THE WAY THRU AND THEY SOUNDED GREAT. NO HAIRLINES OR SCUFFS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION RECORD. SAME THING WITH THE BEE GEES RECORD, NO HAIRLINES OR SCUFFS ON EITHER SIDE THAT I CAN SEE. 1 SMALL LIGHT SCUFF ON SIDE 1 OF THE CREAM RECORD. 1 SMALL LIGHT SCUFF ON PART OF THE FIRST SONG ON SIDE 2 OF THE WHO RECORD. A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINE SCUFFS ON THE JAMES BROWN RECORD SIDE 1. 1 VISIBLE SURFACE MARK AND SOME LIGHT SCUFFS ON THE JAMES BROWN RECORD SIDE 2. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY RECORD THAT GOT A BUNCH OF PLAYS IN THIS SET WAS THE JAMES BROWN RECORD. THEY MUST LIKE JB OVER THERE. STILL SOUNDS GREAT THOUGH. THE INSERT HAS SOME LIGHT CREASES, MOSTLY ALONG THE A COUPLE EDGES. NO BIG DEAL, YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT YO'SELF IN THE PHOTOS. NOW WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SEE ARE TWO SEAM SPLITS IN THE LEFT CORNERS OF THE TOP PART OF THE BOX. THERE'S ALSO A FEW INCHES SEAM SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF THE BACK PART OF THE BOX ON TOP AND ONE SEAM SPLIT ON THE BACK FLAP IN THE CENTER ON THE BACK PART OF THE BOX. YOU CAN SEE THE ALL OF THE OTHER WEAR ON THE BOX, MOSTLY WEAR OF THE EDGES ON THE FRONT. THERE'S ALSO SOME EDGE WEAR ON THE SPINE. CHECK OUT ALL OF THE PHOTOS. STILL LOOKS PRETTY NICE. BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. IT ALL GETS PACKED WELL AND SENT A BOX. SO WADDA YEZ WAITIN' FOR, HUH?
