The Mothers - Fillmore East - June 1971 (LP, Album, RE) (Very Good (VG))

Media Condition: Very Good (VG)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG)

Solid copy, VPI cleaned. Sleeve has a bit more wear than VG+
 

Notes:

Most probably a reissue of the mid-1970s (1974, see below about the inner sleeve). Features that likely distinguish it from the 1st US pressing [r=1770866 (1971):

1) etched “SX” in the runout. It indicates metalwork from Santa Maria intended for pressing at another Columbia plant.

2) Standing alone and poorly visible “D” (or “B”?) in the runout. See the pic.

3) Minor layout peculiarities of the both labels: note the position of “4:58” (Side A) and “2:57” (Side B) compared to the 1st pressing [r=1770866.

4) At least some of the copies came with the Warner/Reprise company inner sleeve (© 1974 - Warner Bros. Records Inc.) that advertises releases in the Loss Leaders series released in 1972 and 1973. Other copies probably came with Zappa’s coupon inner sleeve as the original pressing [r=1770866.
