HERE IS "RUBEN AND THE JETS" BY THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION FEATURING GENIUS FRANK ZAPPA. THIS IS A 1973 STEREO UK REISSUE OF ONE OF THE BEST EVER DOO-WOP/ROCK AND ROLL LPs RECORDED IN 1968 SO OUT OF CHARACTER COMPARED TO THE  OTHER ZAPPA PSYCHEDELIC/HEAVY ROCK OFFERINGS BEFORE AND AFTER THIS LP WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OF SALES INITIALLY FAILING TO CHART IN THE UK AND THE USA,NATURALLY 1ST UK STEREO  EDITIONS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANYTHING APPROACHING NEAR MINT CONDITION MAKING THIS FANTASTIC EXAMPLE FROM 41 YEARS AGO AN IDEAL ALTERNATIVE! THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED!. POLYDOR PRESSED VERVE LABELS WITH VERY THICK VINYL-MUCH THICKER THAN LATER REISSUES.2317 069 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A//1+B//1 MATRIXES. VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR,STAINING OR WRITING! THE RECORD IS STRICTLY GRADED AS  NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY TINY,LIGHT/FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS ONLY VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME!-NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES PLAIN WHITE POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS"TEXT AND THE "MADE IN ENGLAND"TEXT.  THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A LITTLE FAINT RING WEAR STAINING AT THE BACK AND A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

THE SPINE DETAILS CAN BE EASILY READ.

FAR BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS SERIOUSLY RARE LP

MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT OR TAKEN TO PARTIES! HARDLY ANY COPIES WERE KEPT AND CHERISHED LIKE THIS ONE!

PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!  

A LOW REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE BUT EXPECT KEEN BIDDING ON THIS RARE LP. A HIGH WINNING BID WILL REQUIRE EITHER SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR POSTAGE-QUOTES ON REQUEST.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many ollectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
