The Cardiacs' guitarist Jon Poole recorded some early-period Zappa two or three years ago and it's just been mastered to CD. Called "Mothers Covers", it was recorded on a 4 track AFAIK and just features JP. In spite of the many "bounces" involved, it's a really good-sounding piece of work. AF, FO, WOIIFTM and HR provide the repertoire.
I'm in touch with the guy who mastered it to CD and if posts to the ng indicate sufficient interest, I'll forward your details to him or get him to post here or something.
Well worth a listen.
