UNCLE MEAT - 12" VINYL RECORD 2 LP SET - THIS IS THE VERY FIRST WITHDRAWN PRESSING WITH MISTAKES THAT WHEN SEEN BY FRANK SENT HIM INTO A PETULANT FRENZY AND VISIT TO THE RECORD COMPANY OFFICES - FIRST OF ALL, THIS WAS THE FIRST MOTHERS ALBUM RELEASED BY WARNER / REPRISE AFTER FRANK GAVE VERVE RECORDS THE SHAFT. BUT HERE, JUST AS WAS THE ISSUE WITH CENSORSHIP WITH VERVE, IS "400 DAYS OF THE YEAR" REPLACING THE CORRECT SONG TITLE OF "9 TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION", BECAUSE SOME RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES THOUGHT THAT FRANK'S TITLE WOULD CREATE IRREPARABLE HARM ON THE MINDS OF FOOLISH CONSUMERS - - THE SONG ELECTRIC AUNT JEMIMA WAS PRINTED CORRECTLY AS THE TITLE OF THE SONG ABOVE THE LYRICS. HOWEVER, FURTHER DOWN IT WAS SPELLED "JEMINA" AND ALSO ON THE RECORD LABEL - ANYWAY, THIS VERSION WAS WITHDRAWN.
