Frizzle Fry - Original 1990 US Caroline label 13-track LP

Rare original 1990 US Caroline label 13-track LP - the debut by Bay Area funk-metalists centered around lead singer, bassist, primary songwriter, and only continuous member, Les Claypool.

'Frizzle Fry' was at the time both issued as coloured and black vinyl... hard to tell if this one is coloured or not - as it is still factory sealed - unopened and unused. On one hand it does not have the 'Limited Edition - Colored Vinyl' sticker on front cover - on the other we have seen multiple coloured copies without. This copy is handled as the black vinyl issue.

As this copy remains unopened, we believe that it comes with the original inner sleeve and that vinyl is perfect. Cover has the very slightest corner imperfections... just a very few slight wrinkles from edges from mild bends - hence the overall near mint cover grading.
