Frank Zappa - Beat the Boots 8(10disk) LP Boxset

	£		85
	$		113

I am having to sell off the family jewels (in terms of albums). These albums were once the property of a current high profile rock artist. If requested winning bidders will receive a letter of authenticity to support that.I have on auction some great box sets and some rare hard to get albums. Please have a look at my other offerings I can combine wins to save on postage.

Frank decided that if he couldn't beat the bootlegers he would join them by collecting up all the dodgy albums doing the rounds, packaging them up and putting them out commercially.

The cardboard outer has seen better days and is a bit battered but fully intact. All Vinyl Ex/NMint. 8LPs (2 2LP Sets)..10 Discs in all. 

Beat the Boots is a collection of bootleg recordings by Frank Zappa which were originally distributed illegally but were released officially by Rhino Entertainment in 1991. The are available as an LP box set. The eight discs included span a fifteen-year period from September 30, 1967 ('Tis the Season to Be Jelly) to May 21, 1982 (two tracks on As an Am).
