1966 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - FREAK OUT - ORIGINAL FIRST IN THE WORLD USA MONO PRESSING 12" VINYL RECORD 2 LP SET - VERVE RECORDS - V-5005-2 - SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST EVER ROCK 2 LP SET MADE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BOB DYLAN'S BLONDE ON BLONDE WHICH WAS RELEASED RIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME. IT'S THE TRUE FIRST 55 YEAR OLD MONO PRESSING. IT'S NOT LIKE THE TIME YOU GOT SLOBBERING DRUNK AND KNOCKED OVER ONE OF SPEAKER CABINETS SMASHING IT TO PIECES AND FORCING YOU TO LISTEN TO YOUR HELEN REDDY ALBUMS THRU ONLY ONE SPEAKER. IN FACT THERE ARE SOME GEEZERS WHO CLAIM THAT MONO IS BETTER, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUMS DUE TO BEING ABLE TO HEAR THINGS THAT WERE BURIED IN THE MONO MIX. BUT SOME OF THOSE SAME GEEZERS WOULD SAY THAT BLACK AND WHITE TV WAS MUCH BETTER THAN COLOR. HEY, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BETTER, BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON IN THESE RECORDS AS THEY ARE SOME OF THE BEST ORIGINAL MONO FREAK OUT LPS I'VE HAD. BOTH LPS LOOK AND SOUND GREAT NOT AT ALL LIKE MOST 50+ YEARS MONO RECORDS I'VE HEARD, PRETTY QUIET FOR MONO. VISUALLY ONE FAINT HAIRLINE ON SIDE 2 AND A FEW FAINT SCUFFS ON SIDE 3. BOTH RECORDS COME IN HIGH QUALITY ANTI-STATIC PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVES THAT WILL KEEP THESE RECORDS SCUFF FREE FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS. HEAVY CARDBOARD GATEFOLD ALBUM COVER LOOKS PRETTY NICE FOR IT'S AGE TOO. LIGHT RING WEAR FRONT AND BACK. SOME YELLOWING ON THE INSIDE. SOME CORNER BUMPS. NO SEAM OR SPINE SPLITS. CHECK OUT ALL OF THE PHOTOS AND SEE FOR YO'SELF. SINCE THIS AN ORIGINAL ALBUM COVER IF YOU PLACE YOUR PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE IN FRONT OF PHOTO #3, YOU'LL SEE WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED THE FREAK OUT HOT SPOTS BLURB. IT'S AN AD THAT SAYS IF YOU WERE TO MERELY SEND $1 TO MGM RECORDS IN NEW YORK, THEY WOULD SEND YOU A FREAK OUT HOT SPOTS MAP. NOW IF SOME FREAK HAD PANHANDLED ENOUGH TO GET $1 AND SENT IT, THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A MAP FOLDED UP IN AN ENVELOPE. HOWEVER VERY FEW EVER DID, SO DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M INCLUDING AN EXACT SIZE WHICH IS 23 X 29 INCHES REPRINT FREAK OUT HOT SPOTS MAP ON SOME REAL NICE HIGH QUALITY PAPER. A FEW LIGHT INDENTATIONS ON THE HEAVY PAPER. MUCH BETTER QUALITY THAN THE ORIGINAL AND IT'S NEVER BEEN FOLDED, WHICH MEANS THAT I'M GONNA HAVE TO SEND IT SEPARATELY IN A POSTER SHIPPING TUBE. KINDA' LOOKS LIKE THE ROUND PIECE OF CARDBOARD YOU OFTEN SEE IN THE CENTER OF A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER WHEN YOU RUN OUT AND DON'T WIPE YOUR CAVERNOUS BEHIND. EXCEPT MUCH LONGER AND WIDER. SO IF YOU WANT A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL MONO FREAK OUT ALBUM WORTH THE PRICE ALONE AND A NICE EXACT SIZE NICE QUALITY REPRINT FREAK OUT HOT SPOTS MAP POSTER WITH NO FOLDS, LOOK NO FURTHER.       

RECENTLY, YET ANOTHER CONSUMER COINCIDENTALLY NAMED LARRY WITH AN INQUIRING MIND ASKED ME:

HEY REV, WADDA YEZ DOING SELLING ALL OF THAT ZAPPA ON EBAY? SHOULDN'T YEZ BE DOING SOMETHIN' ELSE LIKE SAVING SOULS OR SOMETHIN'? HUH?

WELL LARRY, YOU SEE UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE IN MY PROFESSION, I HAVEN'T MANAGED TO GET 20 MILLION DOLLARS IN MY HEAVENLY BANK ACCOUNT YET. IT SEEMS I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ENOUGH CHUMPS WHO WERE BORN AGAIN. I GUESS I GOTTA GET A TV SHOW LIKE ALL THEM OTHER SCHMUCKS. I ALREADY HAVE A BLONDE WIFE, NOW I JUST GOTTA TALK HER INTO TAKING PHONE CALLS. SO I GOTTA SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME SOMEHOW IN THE MEAN TIME. RIGHT LARRY?

SIDE ONE POOTS FORTH: HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY - I AIN'T GOT NO HEART - WHO ARE THE BRIAN POLICE? - GO CRY ON SOMEBODY ELSES SHOULDER - MOTHERLY LOVE - HOW COULD I BE SUCH A FOOL.

SIDE TWO OOZES OUT: WOWIE ZOWIE - YOU DIDN'T TRY TO CALL ME - ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS - I'M NOT SATISFIED - YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I'M HERE.

SIDE THREE WIPES UP: TROUBLE EVERY DAY - HELP I'M A ROCK - IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE.

SIDE FOUR FLUSHES DOWN: THE RETURN OF THE SON OF MONSTER MAGNET.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA THE POSTER WILL GET SENT IN A POSTER SHIPPING TUBE BY PRIORITY MAIL AND THE ALBUM WILL GET SENT IN A CARDOARD RECORD MAILER BY MEDIA MAIL. THAT USUALLY MEANS THAT THE POSTER WILL SHOW UP BEFORE THE ALBUM. ALTHOUGH THESE DAYS DURING THE PLAGUE I'VE ACTUALLY HAD SOME MEDIA MAIL SENT ON THE SAME DAY AS PRIORITY MAIL TO THE SAME LOCATION ARRIVE FIRST. BUT ANYWAY WHEN THE POSTER ARRIVES BEFORE THE ALBUM, I DON'T WANNA HEAR HEY MAN, YOU FORGOT MY ALBUM MAN. WHERE'S MY ALBUM MAN?
