Tracks list

Official Release #75. This compilation drawn from the late Frank Zappas huge
personal library of unreleased tapes focuses on his work of the 1960s.

The music will be of interest to Zappa collectors, though the sound quality
varies from acceptable to average for the era -- keeping in mind that these
recordings are mostly from studio rehearsals and, at the time he made them, were
likely not intended for release. GTR Trio is an extended rehearsal that
showcases Zappa on acoustic guitar, improvising over a bass vamp, containing at
least one excerpt later utilized in his composition The Ocean Is the Ultimate
Solution. The Moon Will Never Be the Same and Mousies First Xmas are brief
rehearsals of Zappas early orchestral writing, with some overdubbed electronics
added. Why Dontcha Do Me Right? is essentially a vamp on one chord, though it
has many more verses than the version eventually issued on a Verve single.

Various spoken segments (Mormon Xmas Dance Report, Prelude to the Purse, The
Purse, and Suckit Rockit) are of passing interest and dont merit more than one
hearing. One exception is The Uncle Frankie Show, which incorporates Zappa
narrating a preview about I Was a Teenage Maltshop with a few musical excerpts
intertwined, including some tasty solo blues guitar. Joes Xmasage falls short of
being essential for the casual Zappa listener, though serious fans will enjoy
this treasure trove of vintage, previously unreleased material.
