Frank Zappa We're Only In It For The Money - REV Matrix US vinyl LP album (LP record)
Tracklisting / Additional Info: This is the more heavily censored US version, with the REV matrices.

It has all the following censorships (the first three were also on the REV-F US version, the other five were added for this version):

Harry, You're a Beast:-
The 'Don't come in me, in me' section was partially forwards, partially backwards, and shuffled as well. [01:06-01:13].
Due to the edit's complexity, it is likely Zappa's own work.

Mother People:-
The lines 'Better look around before you say you don't care, / Shut your fuckin' mouth about the length of my hair, / How would you survive / If you were alive, / Shitty little person?' were cut out, and replaced with 'Lemme take a minute and tell you my plan, / Lemme take a minute and tell who I am, / If it doesn't show, / Think you'd better know, / I'm another person', taken from earlier in the song. [This happens at 00:58-01:03.] However, in the REV-F version the cut lines were still on the record, backwards, at the end of side one in a track called 'Hot Poop', but if you reverse the reversed version and listen to it, you'll find that even there, the word 'fuckin' has been edited out. The stereo balance on the 'Hot Poop' excerpt is also reversed compared with the actual song. This is also likely to be Zappa's own decision.

Concentration Moon:-
The line 'Also, at the same time, I get to work with the Velvet Underground, which is as shitty a group as Frank Zappa's group' was cut from Gary Kellgren's whispering [01:13]. As at least some copies escaped without this edit & this edit is different on the REV & REV-F versions. It is possible that this was either a last-minute edit on the US master and/or a record company decision.

Who Needs the Peace Corps?:-
The 'kick the shit out of me on the street' bit was censored.

Absolutely Free:-
The word 'balling' was censored from 'I don't do publicity balling for you anymore' & the words 'flower power sucks' were cut, although the echoes of the word 'sucks' can still be heard under the following verse.

Let's Make the Water Turn Black:-
The lines 'And I still remember Mama with her apron and her pad / Feeding all the boys at Ed's Café' were inexplicably cut out. Apparently someone at Verve thought that the word 'pad' referred to a sanitary napkin!

Hot Poop:-
The REV-F censored backwards Mother People verse was cut on the REV version, so that Hot Poop was reduced to just Gary Kellgren's whispering and a snork. Crazy obsessives will be thrilled to note that this snork is, in fact, a different snork than the one on the REV-F version.

This Copy :-

The sleeve has a deletion hole in the bottom left-hand corner and otherwise shows just a little light wear with very minor ringwear. The spine is still readable.
This is a reverse print of the Sgt Pepper cover layout [as apparently someone with a surname starting 'McC' objected to the parody] with the group photo on the front & the lyrics & collage picture inside.

This copy is actually complete with the sheet of exotic cutouts and Verve catalogue inner!

The vinyl remains in Excellent to Near Mint condition with no spindlewear visible to the naked eye and very clean playing surfaces - it has truely been looked after, a beautiful example of a well kept copy.

The labels are classic silver on blue Verve.

An amazing complete copy of this fantastic album!
