Description
From 'Collecting Frank Zappa in Australia Part 1: The Early Years, an article by Stuart Penny in it - The Australian Record Collectors Magazine, Issue #14 June-July-August 1995 (provided by Henry Griggs, Sydney, Australia):
Polydor issued dozens of these German-designed monstrosities around the world during the early '70s, including several by MGM artists (Velvet Underground, Eric Burdon etc) whose back catalogue they had picked up in 1971. Zappa, of course, didn't escape the treatment and in 1972 the double set Pop History Vol. 6 (Polydor 2625 012) appeared in New Zealand. Featuring the same gruesome cover art common to the entire series, together with a crudely cut-out Mothermania front sleeve photo, this album has little to distinguish it from the European version - save for the designation (Vol. 6) and the fact that the records are inserted from the inside centre of the sleeve, an idiosyncrasy peculiar to New Zealand. In Australia however, the same LP was issued with the more familiar Pop History Vol. 7 title. This was, of course, just a single LP (albeit with the same catalogue number as the NZ double) utilizing sides one and four only. By the way, anyone ever seen a Mothers' Pop History which doesn't spell "Invocatian" incorrectly on the back sleeve? Ridiculously, in an attempt to emphasise what Polydor obviously saw as the Mothers', ahem, "wacky" image, the ersatz picture frame which borders the front cover was shown broken into several pieces! Hey, are these guys crazy, or what?
COVER IS VG/-.SOME SCUFFING AND RINGWEAR. TOP LEFT CORNER IS BADLY FRAYED AND THE ONLY JUST HOLDING TOGETHER. NO TAPE THOUGH.
THE WAX IS VG+, CLOSE TO EXCELLENT.
