A LITTLE WHILE AGO, SOME OLD CODGER WHO CLAIMED HIS NAME WASN'T LARRY TOLD ME:
HI REVEREND. UNLIKE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING, MY NAME ISN'T LARRY, AND I DO LIKE FRANK ZAPPA. FURTHERMORE, I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS, NEVER DID, SO THERE WAS NEVER ANYBODY WHO HAD EVER CALLED ME LARRY ANYWAY. THAT'S RIGHT, I'VE BEEN TO PLENTY OF FRANK ZAPPA CONCERTS. I REMEMBER GOING TO ONE WHERE HIM AND CAPTAIN BEEFHEART HAD A GROSS OUT CONTEST. THE CAPTAIN SHIT ON STAGE AND ZAPPA ATE IT. SINCERELY, SOME OLD CODGER NOT NAMED LARRY.
BOTH SIDES PLAY PERFECT. THE RECORD LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, ONE ULTRA LIGHT SCUFF ON SIDE A WAS ALL I COULD FIND AND IT'S NOT EASILY SEEN. NO SPINDLE MARKS. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT'S GONNA GET FOR THIS RECORD, AND BETTER THAN ANY STOCK COPY BECAUSE TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE STAMPERS WHICH DO GET WORN DOWN AFTER A FEW THOUSAND PRESSINGS. THAT'S TO SAY IF THEY EVEN USED THIS STAMPER WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY STARTED TO PRESS STOCK COPIES. THE RECORD COMES IN A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET WITH SOME WRITING AND STICKER REMOVAL MARKS. WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKETS ANYWAY? THE RECORD ORIGINALLY CAME IN A PLAIN WHITE PAPER SLEEVE THAT'S INCLUDED, BUT YU WON'T HAVE TO CRAM IT BACK IN THERE AS THE RECORD NOW COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE...., BECAUSE IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
SIDE A CONTAINS: DIDDY WAH DIDDY - WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING? - MOONCHILD.
SIDE B CONTAINS: FRYING PAN - HERE I AM, I ALWAYS AM.
