MK and BRYAN BELLER on the road with TAYLOR GUITARS THRU 10/13!

Hey folks; we're just about to embark on another tour for Taylor Guitars, featuring myself and Bryan Beller. I'll be playing the GS and T5 guitars, and Bryan will be playing his AB-4 acoustic and a new prototype Taylor electric bass. I'm planning to break out a few tunes which we've never played in the duo format, and we're hitting up a lot of cities where we haven't played before. And the tour culminates in an electric gig in St. Louis, featuring the fantastic Eric Slick on drums (he's currently Adrian Belew's drummer). So the next few weeks promise quite a bit of adventure -- here's where we'll be, and hopefully a lot of you will be as well:

hat. and Boil That Dust Speck Remastering Report

And a reminder once again that my first two albums, hat. and Boil That Dust Speck, are going to be re-issued in early 2007, and that the special editions of both titles (which will feature extremely fascinating DVDs along with the remastered CDs) are available for pre-order now. We remastered the audio for the CDs a few days ago, after we spent a lot of brain-wracking time comparing master tapes for the best available audio. We've come up with something we're extremely thrilled about.

In the case of hat. I'm especially thrilled that the maximum playing time for CDs has increased since we first made that album, and parts of songs which I had to sacrifice first time around will now finally be heard. In particular, you'll know be able to hear "Lightnin' Roy" the way it was supposed to be heard, and songs like "Snowcow" and "The Car Song" will have their guitar solos reinstated to their full fullness. All in all we were able to add in another three minutes of music which you should have heard fourteen years ago, so I'm plenty jazzed.

Thanks for reading! See you on the road.

-- Mike

 

CHRIS OPPERMAN 2006 09 25

 

[Chris Opperman Mailing List - September 9, 2006]

Episode #53: Special Opps: Live @ Level One DVD Pre-sale!

You can preview new tracks, pre-order the Special Opps DVD, and read Opperman's blog at www.myspace.com/chrisopperman.
Opperman's music is available on iTunes and other digital music services.
Chris Opperman plays KORG keyboards and uses Finale music notation software.
Oppy will be sitting in with Kelda this Tuesday, Sept. 26th @ 8 pm @ Hotel Cafe.
Oppy will be hosting "Don't Call Us Tori" this Saturday, Sept. 30th @ 8 pm @ Karma Coffeehouse.

* SPECIAL OPPS: Live @ Level One "Bootleg" DVD

Hello!  Last night, I changed the video on my [MySpace] profile to a special preview of the first entry in our "Chris Opperman DVD Bootleg Series."

The first volume contains the entire August 24th, 2004 concert featuring myself on piano, Andre LaFosse on electric guitar, Jen Kuhn on electric cello, Isaac Slape on electric bass, and Kevin Dooley on the drums.  My friend Kat Parsons also appears on the DVD singing her beautiful song "To Return to You."

Also included on the DVD are hi-res versions of all the short form videos Johnny D. and I uploaded to my website throughout 2004 and 2005 which were recorded mostly at Room 5 and other places.  It also has the "Bender Dr." video from the July, 2005 New York City show.  The musicians featured in the bonus videos include everyone mentioned above plus Mike Keneally, Todd Carey, Andre' Cholmondeley, Jeff Paitchell, Eric Slick, Clark Freeman, Dave Johnsen, and Jordan Shapiro.  The video was shot by Johnny D. and Steve Laub, except the "Bender Dr." video which was shot by Jeff Paitchell's father.

It's a really fun DVD and the proceeds are going to go towards the recording sessions for the Special Opps studio album (w/"The Porpentine"), so I would really appreciate it if you ordered yourself one! 
As an added incentive, the price for the pre-ordered copies will be only $10 (plus shipping).  Once the DVD is released, the price will be increased to $12.50 (plus shipping).

Track list (8/24/04 show): Johannah / Haasis / Beware of the Random Factor / Miles Behind / Electric Jihad / Sophia's Dream / Kamp Keneally / Tanya's Song / To Return to You 
Bonus videos: White Willow (my personal favorite) / To Return to You / No Drinks for Libbie / Miles Behind / Parcelona / Bender Dr.

You can order the DVD (and all my CD's) direct through my MySpace page which is www.myspace.com/chrisopperman. And if you have any trouble ordering, please write me back and I'll help!

Thanks so much and music is the best!

-- Chris

Also, if you're around Tuesday night, you should come to The Hotel Cafe to see my friend Kelda perform @ 8 pm sharp.  I will be sitting in on her composition "Stop the Rain" (available on iTunes) which sounded quite breezy and natural in rehearsal today.  Antonio Carlos Jobim would be proud.

CO DE KLOET & MENNO KALMANN

  • co de kloet & menno kalmann: hardcore ambience
        (2006, cd, usa, favored nations fn2570 2)
    • Both Co de Kloet en Menno Kalmann have various links to the Zappa / Beefheart Universe.
      Don Van Vliet can be heared on their "Goyang Pantat" album. The both of them have done interviews with Zappa, with Beefheart and  with people that have worked with them, and they have done numerous radio shows and produced a lot of concerts. Just remember the Metropole Orkest concerts with Vai, Bozzio and Keneally ...

      Co de Kloet & Menno Kalmann's latest album, "Hardcore Ambience", has been released on Favored Nations and has Steve Vai as the executive producer.

      If you're into improvised music and soundscapes, this is your thing. De Kloet and Kalmann will introduce you into their world of sounds.
      It's all about building the right atmosphere, taking the time to search the sounds, chords an notes that go with it.

      I love it.

TWO NEW ZAPPA BOOTLEGS

 

Two new bootlegs have surfaced:

frank zappa: frank zappa with friends
    (2006, cd-bootleg, ??, fakedisc)

frank zappa: you can't do that on stage anymore vol.11
    (2006, cd-bootleg, ??, ??)

Factory pressed discs that present material that you can get at places like Dime or Zappateers...

PIKANTIK MEETS FRANK ZAPPA

  • pikantik: pikantik meets frank zappa
        (2006, cdr-promo, poland, private release)
    • A couple of days ago, I mentioned Kroner Circus.
      The driving force behind the late Kroner Circus was Michał Worgacz, and Michał's latest band is called Pikantik. They perform the music of Frank Zappa and did an impressive performance at Zappanale.. 

      "Pikantik Meets Frank Zappa" is a promotional album, recorded about one week before the Zappanale festival. It has the same setlist as the Zappanale gig and shows why the band was at Zappanale.

PIKANTIK: ZAPPANALE 17

  • pikantik: zappanale #17
        (2006, cdr-promo, poland, private release)
    • As you can imagine, "Zappanale #17" is a recording of the Pikantik concert at Zappanale. Again, this is not a professional recording. It was taped from the audience. However, it gives a fine impression of what Pikantik is all about.

      Consider it their second promotional release.

PULP SURFIN'

Here's another update:
  • various artists: pulp surfin'
        (1995, cd, usa, del-fi records docd 70022-2)
    • "Pulp Surfin'" got released in 1995. As far as I know, only on CD, but I'm not too sure about that.
      The album includes the Bob Guy track 'Letters From Jeepers', written by Frank Zappa, and for some weird reason labeled as performed by Mr.Guy.

THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION

Henrietta Bannister writes:

I have enclosed an attachment of an original 1971 Frank Zappa poster from his ill-fated European tour. The artwork was by Gunter Kaiser (he did the Jimi Hendrix poster with electric plugs in his hair) and they were sent to us to use for the UK part of the tour. However, after the Rainbow tragedy they were never used and stored in the back of a cupboard for over 30 years. One of these posters sold a fews years ago at Christies' for over £500.

The posters are huge 45 ins. x 35 ins (120 cms by 89 cms) and are a very unique piece of Frank Zappa memorabilia.  We have two each with a slight tear in the corner for only £50 each instead of the normal price of £300 .

Anyone interested in one of these original Frank Zappa posters should email info@rockmusicmemorabilia.com  or phone 01954 268088 (UK)

Best wishes

hello everyone the Don tour is going great -- so cool to meet all you jazz piano and electronic music fans... some of you hearing this kind of music for the 1st time and loving it - that is the coolest!!
Yesterday -Don just had a great lecture at Cornell then we played a short set. He projected pictures from his great history with Moogs and doing soundtracks and tours, and took some cool questions at the end. Fellow Synth legend DAVID BORDEN was in attendance!!!....it was a pleasure to hang with him again...and have a great Thai meal , talking music etc. David recently did a concert with laptops...loaded with samples he has personally made of his REAL ANALOG instruments. Look him up -- he founded Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co - the FIRST all-Moog band back in c. 1970....

ALERT -- if you are interested in getting tickets and seeing us in NYC -- PLEASE DO SO NOW -- as I had warned -- this show is dependent on JUST a few of you supporting it -- it;;s a small room -- 35 people??? and we have yet to sell enough tickets to warrant the owner opening the doors!!! It's SUN SEP 17 NEW YORK CITY NY The Monkey SHOW/8pm http://themonkeynyc.com/

yep folks -this is blackmail . from a black male - IF YOU DON'T GET TICKETS NOW AND YOU WANNA GO _- this show will be cancelled... bummer. I am even willing to buy a couple myself if we get close!! So- i KNOW a bunch of you are thinking abt ity -- you've emailed me with questions.. go get yer tickets -- DO NOT GET THEM AT THE DOOR --we MUST have advance sales to have this special venue open it's doors.....thanks

meanwhile -- here are the other dates... see ya there!! the website is below as well. Wednesday, September 13 2006, is shaping up to be a wild time at the Space in Hamden, CT Yours truly, Andre will also play with DOOT! including Nate Trier on keys.... as a trio with Pete Brunelli/bass and Steve Chillemi/drums we played at the ZAPPANALE this past july.....Also performing first on the bill will be Tim Palmieri, founding member and principal guitarist for Connecticut-based jammers "The Breakfast".  All indications point to Tim being poised to tear the joint down, so be there early.  http://www.myspace.com/thebreakfast Doors at 7pm, $10 cover

KRONER CIRKUS

  • kroner cirkus: kometa kronera
        (1999, cdr, poland, kpcd 001)
    • Those of you who were at Zappanale will remember Michał Worgacz's performance. He's the bandleader / guitar player of Pikantik.
      Michał is also the guy behind (the late) Kroner Cirkus, a Polish prog-rock band. Kroner Cirkus recorded album in 1999, called "Kometa Kronera". Mostly instrumental, "Kometa Kronere" is a very impressive progressive rock album. It leans heavy on Michał Worgacz's guitar playing, giving it a sharper edge, but also some almost fusion moments.. I really like this. 

      For more info, visit

      (Michał is working on the english translation of the site, but that shouldn't stop you from checking out this album.)

Hi friends!

The lazy rib smoking days of summer may be over but the Froggs are really busy and looking forward to a great fall with new shows and a new live CD.

UNCLE MEAT

Belgian band Uncle Meat plays 'intense alternative metal'. They recorded their first album in 1995.

Just in case that you wouldn't believe me, here's their 1997 single: "Turn Away".

There's no Zappa link music-wise. Uncle Meat plays up-tempo metal. I've read an article where they were compared to Tool, Korn & Faith No More...

It's good to get back on the boards with some old and NEW HIDDEN AGENDA material, and a couple cool covers. It's always new when it's a new lineup as I love what different combos bring to the band sound. This is a band i have had on/off since the mid 90s, and i'm real excited about this lineup --eine kleine historisch... Boxy was the original keys-player in PROJECT/OBJECT back in the day..he pushed the band to new levels... then picked up the bass and played in earlier incarnations of HIDDEN AGENDA and BLUES AGENDA..both with Jason Silverio on drums...it's great to have him back in the fold and low-end killin' on the bass....I can't decide what he's better on, keys or bass...or guitar!!! Bob Ramos was the drummer in the FIRST band i was ever in , back in the early 80s - "circle of fifths" (LOL!!). We went on to start a band with Ben Davis called RHYTHM METHOD that took 80s new brunswick (our college town) by storm...then we did a killer pop-punk album with FALSE VIRGINS..it actually sold some numbers in Italy, then the lead singer jumped out of a window.....later Bob and I did our first tour ever - a few weeks in CA with the NICK CLEMONS BAND (the big man's son)......Bob is playing better than ever and always brings his kickass polyrhythms to the table... Finally we are all jamming -for the first time - and it's a great great thing! We're doing a bunch of my original songs, and a couple covers of Santana, Zappa and Sonny Sharrock. Gee, listen to much guitar music, Andre'? Anyway -After all these years, to play with two good friends is a fantastic thing and means more than all the covers and sold out theatres. Amazingly, while we've all known each other over 20 yrs, these will be our first gigs together. ......SEE YOU THERE!!

 

TOMMY MARS


additional info to Robert Foetsch's story about Tommy Mars from Jonny Swing - 2006 09 01

Yes - The Minutemen and Bath Tub Ring were the groups that often practiced at Tom and Dave Mariano's next door, and sounds of those bands of Tom's are what sparked me to ask him to help start my own band, and he very generously did. ....Thanks to his helpful start and influence, I went on to play in the groundbreaking punk scene in New Haven CT, first with the very excellent Disturbance (see myspace), and then with Future Plan, led by Cleveland's "Rocket from the Tombs" bassist Craig Bell. (RFFT also spawned Pere Ubu & the Dead Boys)

A couple interesting Tommy Mars trivia points – when my band needed a bass amp to match the blue sparkle padded Kustom guitar amp we had, we found the exact match padded bass amp and bought it from none other than the Minutemen's old bassist!

AND - Speaking of loud bands practicing - first at Tom's, and then MY house next door - ....I am fully convinced that a lot of the lyrics and funny interjections in the title track "Joe's Garage"
(ex: I'm calling THE POLICE! I did it...they'll be here...shortly) are DIRECT contributions from Tom Mars, and are in fact a permanent tribute to the rock and roll-hating backyard neighbors Tom & I shared, Dr & Mrs Philip Paul, god rest their souls!
Not only would they constantly "call the police" when Tom's or my music got too loud, but they went so far as to walk the neighborhood to get petition signatures to "turn it DOWWN!!" (no one signed it - they recognized talent when they heard it!)
No question about it, much to their dismay I'm sure, the Pauls made rock history.

and speaking of Tom's style, in a conversation with his mom, she and I agreed that although the song is attributed to FZ (as all compositions under his direction usually were), the beautuiful "Lucille" , on the otherwise quite for-fun LP Joes Garage, is actually a Tommy Mars composition. If you want to hear a little of the chord, key and melody experimentations in Tommy Mars's head, its a great start, and the tip of the iceberg begins there - because he just as assuredly was the major force behind the bands wild, fast, seemingly random-note, yet assuredly in-key expansive leads and solos, hooks, riffs and improvisations in the glory days of FZ..
.....Brought to you straight from Mars, via Dayton Road, Naugatuck CT!

Thanks Tom!
-- Jon March

 

TWO NEW ZAPPA BOOTLEGS


The Zappa Fan Trust (I didn't make this up...) has released two new Frank Zappa bootleg albums.

Fillmore West 70 (= the San Francisco 1970/11/06 concert) and First Tango In Paris (= the Paris 1968 concert).

 

BOOTLEG BONUS DISCS

The picture on the right is the label of a bootleg DVDR, released as a bonus disc to the "Some Time In Fillmore East" 2CD bootleg set.
It's a limited edition of 200 copies.

john lennon, yoko ono and frank zappa: live at the fillmore

The album that is shown on the right is a bootleg CDR. It has been released in a limited edition of 200 copies as some sort of appetizer for the "Mono & Acetates" 3 CD bootleg set.
Actually, it's a part of disc two of the "Mono & Acetates" bootleg:

the mothers of invention: we're only in it for the money (demo & testpressing)

(it's a CDR so why call it a bootleg? Well, in my opinion there's a couple of reasons for that: it's distributed through the same channels; it can also be a part of an existing bootleg title - making some sort of bonus disc special edition, and, last but not least, they're sold for money)

THE KENEALLIST: New Live Dates and More!
2006/09/03

Hello there - MK here -- I hope you're doing well and that 2006 has been OK for you so far. Thanks for reading this!

I want to let you know about some stuff - here's "stuff fragment" number one:

CIRCUS OF VALUES re-ignites THIS WEEK

The first round of Circus of Values was a series of improvised shows I hosted at Dizzy's in San Diego, back around five years ago. Each one had a different theme and title, and a different group of players. All of the music was invented on the spot. It's time for another round of this madness. I'm very happy to be returning to Dizzy's (a super-cool spot to hear music) for another series of Circus Of Values performances.

I'm very delighted to report that Chad Wackerman (drums) and Doug Lunn (bass) will join me for the first show of the new Circus of Values series; the performance is entitled "Ah Mr. Solid Gasoline." Here's details for y'all:

Mike's intimate improvisation series "Mike Keneally's Circus of Values" returns to ' Dizzy's'
344 Seventh Avenue (between J & K, on the edge of San Diego's East Village), San Diego, CA 92101, Thursday, September 7, 2006, 8:00 p.m.
Tonight's episode: "AH MR. SOLID GASOLINE", Featuring Chad Wackerman and Doug Lunn / Tickets: $15
All ages welcome * Info: 858.270.7467
All attendees will receive a special exclusive concert program with odd art and text by me. Please be an attendee! (Check later in this email for the dates of two more Circus Of Values shows.)

MK and BRYAN BELLER on the road with TAYLOR GUITARS again

Bryan Beller (bass) and myself will take to the road this month and next on behalf of Taylor Guitars. I'll be playing the T5 and the GS, two very different but quite extraordinary instruments. Bryan will be playing the Taylor acoustic bass but will also be road-testing a new prototype Taylor electric bass; the only way you're going to be able to check out this instrument live anytime soon is to come to one of these shows. I'll be getting more ambitious with my sounds on this tour, and I think the music portions of these presentations are going to be deeper and crazier than they've been on previous Taylor tours. Should be a beautiful time. Attend like mad one or more of these here performances:

MK, BB and ERIC SLICK - live in ST. LOUIS

A hardcore fan by the name of Dan in St. Louis insisted that it was high time for his town to host a serious MK electric gig. We said sure, so at the very end of the Taylor Tour, Bryan and I will be joined by the tremendously talented drummer Eric Slick (currently with the Adrian Belew band, and a graduate of the Paul Green School of Rock) for a night of electric music which will singe the collective eyebrows of St. Louis and the neighboring towns. Thanks Dan Kinney for making this show happen. Details, get your details here:

A REMINDER: hat. and BOIL THAT DUST SPECK to be RE-RELEASED

My first two albums, long out of print, are now being readied for reissue. It feels wonderful to have this music about to be available again. Both albums will be available as signed, numbered special editions of 3000, featuring DVDs packed with relevant stuff. Dave Foster and I have watched and catalogued tons of video footage and we're jazzed, to say the least. I'm auditioning different versions of masters for both albums in an attempt to get the sound quality as sweet as we can. Artwork will be faithful to the original, but expanded tastefully. There's loads of work going into these babies, which you can help to support by pre-ordering the special editions of one or both albums at http://www.keneally.com.

If you've been wanting to get ahold of these albums for a few years, and have toyed with the notion of spending upwards of 50 bucks apiece on auction sites, hold tight just a little while longer. The single CDs will be lovingly priced at a mere 15 dollars; 30 bucks gets you a deluxe edition with DVD. The rest of my early catalogue (Sluggo!, Half Alive In Hollywood and The Mistakes) will be reissued by Exowax as soon as we can manage it.

(Note: for those interested in the Tar Tapes, nothing new to report. Chances are I'll decide to re-issue that material someday in its complete original form as it was released on cassette, rather than the compilation approach of the two Tar Tapes CDs. We're still a good ways away from dealing with that material.)

HARDCORE AMBIENCE - the new album by CO de KLOET and MENNO KALMANN on FAVORED NATIONS

It's genuinely exciting for me to announce the release of this new album from my dear friend Co de Kloet (creative catalyst for the vast majority of my musical adventures in Holland) and his musical partner Menno Kalmann, and on my other dear friend Steve Vai's record label to boot. This is a really beautiful album folks. It's available September 4 at the Favored Nations website. Allow me to quote wantonly from its press release please:

"The adventurous Dutch musical team of Co and Menno has been creating ethereal, atmospheric compositions together since becoming friends in high school. As a veteran producer Dutch Public Radio NPS, de Kloet has worked with an amazing collection of the world's finest musicians: Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Todd Rundgren, Captain Beefheart, Laurie Anderson, and Steve Vai, among countless others. [Editor's note: Hi! I'm a countless other!] His production work developed into artistic friendship with Frank Zappa, who introduced him to Steve Vai, camaraderie that ultimately led to Vai's Favored Nations label to distribute Hardcore Ambience...The intentionally oxymoronic title of is not a coincidence, but a mission statement for the project's ingenious fusion of seemingly different elements: lush yet intimate atmospheres, carefully crafted compositions with complete improvised passages, and live studio performances alongside grand productions. To help capture the various emotional sensations, the pair recorded in a wide range of settings: from the intimacy of a living to the grandness of a church of the pastoral setting of a wilderness."

OTHER

Still working hard on the Keneally/Beller acoustic album, and have also been making a lot of progress on the 2-CD rock opera Scambot (which might be retitled Scambot Talks To God). Still excited about releasing the studio recordings I did with the Minipole Orkest earlier this year, and our friend Nick Conedera has begun editing some video of the rehearsals and Haarlem performances of the Minipole and Metropole, possibly for some kind of home video artifact we hope.

Guitar Therapy Live was nominated as best rock album at the San Diego Music Awards, which will be held on September 20 - wish us the good luck! Check out http://www.keneally.com, towards the bottom of the page, for links to bunches of reviews of Guitar Therapy.

Enough! Enough! Gaaa!

Love you all ---

MORE NEWS ON THE FREAK OUT BOX


Here's a message from Gail, taken from the forum at zappa dot com:

"Yes, there is a certain manifestation of Freak Out! but there are 3 other discs - approximately 3 hours of alternate tracks from the sessions for the most part, some crazy surprises, and a little bit of FZ talking about. There are a few FZ edits here and there. You will enjoy the disc/overy I am sure, almost as much a s we did. And then there is the packaging which we are also very excited about. This is truly one for the fervent and devout...it is good to know that some of what I say makes sense to some of the people who read it. So just so you heard it from me, there is nothing on the discs, 3 of which are about an hour of mostly (MOSTLY!) UNRELEASED materials, that is me talking for 30 minutes - why would I do such a thing to you or to FZ!!!! But we do have him in his own words too. And yes, it is all about Freak Out! What more do I really have to say."

ZAPPA EVENT IN MONTREUX


== newsflash from the radiodupree blog ==

A special event of Zappa music will happen in Montreux on September 1st. It's the composer/arranger Ali N. Askin (of Ensemble Modern fame) who has gathered a band to perform some of Frank's music. The band includes special guests keyboardist Mats Öberg and drummer Morgan Ågren. Mats tells that the band will perform Revised Music For Guitar And Low Budget Orchestra, Village Of The Sun, Echidna's Arf (Of You) and Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?, plus stuff from Zappa In New York.
Gustaf Hielm, former member of Meshuggah will play the bass. 

The event includes music by Zappa and Varèse, including some arrangements and transcriptions of Zappa's music by Ali N. Askin. 

In the early 1990's Askin was Zappa's assistant for the project The Yellow Shark with Ensemble Modern.

OFFICIAL FZ AUDIODOCUMENTARY PRE-ORDER

 

Hi there,

In commemoration of the FOURtieth Anniversary of a World That Contains Freak Out! we are so very pleased to present the FZ Audiography and Documentary Evidence (for the first time this century) of those certain recording sessions that occurred in Los Angeles between March and April of 1966.  Who Could Imagine???  Well, we all know the answer to that question.  This exciting and Deluxe, Limited Edition contains FOUR historically magnificent discs for your Audio Gratification.  And a Gorgeous booklet - with the original art and lots of special surprises - and your name too.  

Read on. 

And yes, directly from the Vault to you, this is your once in a lifetime opportunity to have your name included in the List of Lists - as a person of interest who contributed in a material way to make this music possible.  With all due respect to AAAFNRAA, this is a limited offer and you must act quickly or forever hold your peace.   (No, we did not say to withhold Peace!)   This is Exclusive to Barfko-Swill.

Shortly after you receive this email with all of this stunning information you will be able to go to Zappa.com and see that the Pre-Order is for real.  And we also want to assure those of you who are possibly frightened of something that costs as much as Ms Pinky in these days of (speaking of) highly inflated gas prices and unseasonably rising global tensions and air temperatures that there will also be available a Very Wonderful Two Disc FZ Audio Documentary Release that might well turn up in greater convenience in your favorite record store (Is there such a Beast Anymore?).  But for those of you without FEAR, who crave the Origin of the Species in all its Tactile and Audiophile MAGNIFICENCE, you know what to do.  And we thank you for allowing us the pleasure of you r audience for FZ.

We feel it is our duty . . .

xxx,

the Barfies

dieter jakob's zappa bootleg book...

I've told you about Dieter Jakob's book on Zappa bootlegs. Here's an update:



You can’t do that on bootz anymore – Volume 1: The vinyl

I am going to write a (picture-)book about Zappa vinyl bootlegs and try to get together all photos of the bootlegs I know. As far as I know only the photos of the below mentioned bootlegs are still missing for my book. 

List of vinyl bootlegs (photos wanted):

  • At Lorely (2LP GREY+WHITE Vinyl Coloured Cover)
  • Charlie's Favourite (2LP Testpressing)
  • Christmas in New York in '76 (LP) **
  • Dortmund 1984 (LP Green Vinyl)
  • Frankie Meets Bobby [only one side is Zappa] (LP Clear Vinyl)
  • Frankie Meets Bobby [only one side is Zappa] (LP Green Vinyl)
  • From the Vaults to the Biggest Halls Volume 1 (LP) **
  • Leatherette (2LP B/W Comic Deluxe Cover RED Vinyl)
  • Metal Man Has Hornet's Wings (LP BLACK Vinyl BW SCRAPMETAL INSERT) Slipped Disc Records Label
  • S' n M (LP) **
  • Saarbrücken '78 (2LP BLACK VINYL) NOT Fooeee (Beat The Boot Box) Version
  • Saarbrücken '78 (2LP BLACK/BLUE VINYL)
  • Saarbrücken '78 (2LP YELLOW VINYL)
  • The Best of ... Pappa Zappa & Any Way the Wind Blows (2LP ) **
  • Zappaskance (2LP) **

The discs marked with ** are only known by name from various more or less reliable sources. I’m quite sure that they are not existing and results of misinterpreted labels or just homemade fakes of “serious” bootlegs. Anyway, if somebody should know something about these discs, I’d appreciate a lot to get the information. Anyway, I’d be happy if anybody from the huge Zappa fan community could help me to get a photo or a scan of all these missing boots.

Music is the best!

Dieter

 

So here's the deal, if you have any of these bootlegs, and if you're able to take a digital picture of it, let me know at bignOte@yucom.be and I will forward you Dieter's e-mail address.
