✅ Physical copy examined and scrutinized by ZappaFrenzy

I normally don’t post pictures of LP’s on ZappaFrenzy but this item was so related that I thought it would be appropriate to have it listed. This promo LP features the A and B sides of singles that were released in October 1968 in Japan. Both “Motherly Love” and “I Ain’t Got No Heart” are found on this LP.
