Nothing can make you laugh like the wonderful sarcasm and humor of Frank Zappa! This rare LP with the gatefold cover is called Hot Rats and is the second solo album by Frank Zappa, released in 1969. It was Zappa's first recording project after the dissolution of the original version of the Mothers of Invention. Five of the six songs are instrumental; while "Willie the Pimp", features vocals by Captain Beefheart. In his original sleeve notes, Zappa described the album as "a movie for your ears". Another great song on here is Peaches en Regalia",  an instrumental jazz fusion composition by Frank Zappa. It was also released as a single in 1970, with another song from this album "Little Umbrellas" as the B-side. Zappa used the piece on many of his tours, often as either the opening or the encore of a show!


The Cover is in Very Good Plus Condition(see pictures), The Vinyl is in Very Good Plus condition on one side and Very Good condition on the other side(several tiny light scratches), but still sounds great!
