20 Years of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ 20 Years Of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ 20 Years Of Frank Zappa These informations come from Hot Wacks Quarterly, 1983, Vol. 4, No. 1, Issue 13. Hot Wacks is an under- ground magazine that has been in circulation since 1980, featuring reviews of bootleg music releases. Reviews include information such as source, quality, track listing and packaging. It is commonly referred to as the 'Bootleg Bible' by bootleg collectors: Many sources and styles and hundreds of musicians complement this 12 record package – the most ambitious and the last of the Mud Shark series. Twelve albums, each with its own number, title and personality were packaged in a one-inch box with a 16-page guide booklet (except 25, the “Silver Edition”, but more on that later). This package is the largest underground multi-record set made to date. The initial pressing was 1000 copies, but as most of you may already know, over half of them (565) were confiscated in Mud Shark´s bust. The limited, numbered Silver Edition had each LP packaged individually in its own silver jacket. Rumor has it that the special packages were to be presented to dealers who sold large quantities of the box. They disappeared without trace although sources indicate they were not confiscated, just lost or tucked away in the depths of the packaging plant. Perhaps they will surface one day. The Basic Primer Z to A (MZ 4801) A1 Return of Your Mama B1 Titties & Beer A2 Keep it Greasey B2 What Kind of Group Do You Think We Are? A3 Village of the Sun B3 All the Way Down to the Tonsils A4 I Do a Bunch of Other Things B4 Rollo B5 Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast B6 Zappa's Lecture This LP and the 12th album are the “border” LPs in that they surround the set´s inner material – the material that goes in sequence. The pattern on this record was to go from the newer material to the older material. Side 1 opens with a ripping version of Yo Mama originally slated for release in the 3-LP set of 1979 (see Warts And All) and was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon. Keep It Greasy and Village Of The Sun which follow came from an excellent soundboard tape (see Project/Object), the smooth Ike Willis´ vocal on the latter combined with the funky fills and a superb sound on FZ´s guitar segues into a short fill off the Uncle Meat Demo which flows into a short piece from the Interview Show (1976). Side 2 starts off with Titties & Beer, with the extra verse, and What Kind Of Group Do You Think We Are? (a made-up title) both from Detroit 19´76. On the former you can hear Patrick´s fretless precision jump out at you and on the latter some special guest appearances by Flo & Eddie and Ralph Armstrong but this track is cut off abruptly. Next is All The Way Down To The Tonsils (another made-up title) from The Uncle Meat Demo LP, Rollo And Alphonzo´s from the New Year´s Eve 1972 show in D.C. A short piece of tape from the 1963 Mt. St. Mary´s show concludes side 2. 1 20 Years Of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ The Soundtracks (MZ 4802) A1 The Way the Air Smells B1 The World's Greatest Sinner A2 Run Home Slow B2 This Won't Take Long A3 Your Eyes B3 What Will This Morning Bring Me This Evening? A4 Rance Muhammitz in a Steaming Briefcase B4 People Think That Groupies Are Such Dirty Girls The title of this LP explains all – the LP concentrates on the musical portions of the two older soundtracks. Side one is mostly Run Home Slow from a tape of a TV broadcast. The music is good, well written early pieces which later transformed into some well-known classics, most recognizable is the Duke Of Prunes. This movie´s score is surrounded by two audience recordings from the Baby Snakes film. These are unbearable to listen to. Side 2 features The World´s Greatest Sinner (1961) from a rare dub that came directly from the film. This music is inserted between two musical and dialogue selections from 200 Motels. 2 20 Years Of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ The Cucamonga Era (MZ 4803) A1 The Masters: Breaktime B1 The Penguins: Memories of El Monte A2 Baby Ray & the Ferns: How's Your Bird B2 The Hollywood Persuaders: Grunion Run A3 Baby Ray & the Ferns: The World's Greatest B3 The Hollywood Persuaders: Tijuana Surf Sinner B4 Mr. Clean: Mr. Clean A4 Ned & Nelda: Hey Nelda B5 Mr. Clean: Jessie Lee A5 Ned & Nelda: Surf Along B6 The Rotations: Heavies A6 The Heartbreakers: Every Time I See You B7 The Hollywood Persuaders: Drums a-Go-Go A7 Bob Guy: Dear Jeepers B8 The Hollywood Persuaders: Hot Water A8 Bob Guy: Letters from Jeepers B9 Brian Lord & the Midnighters: Not Another One A9 Brian Lord & the Midnighters: The Big Surfer B10 The Masters: Sixteen Tons This LP contains most of the known pre-Mothers releases of which many were recorded in Cucamonga in a studio, Studio Z. once owned by Paul Buff and later sold to Zappa. Break Time , recorded by the Masters, Frank´s first record, leads off side one and is followed by How´s Your Bird? and World´s Greatest Sinner, by Baby Ray & The Ferns. Hey Nelda and Surf Along by Ned & Nelda follow next, then the Heartbreaker´s record Everytime I See You. The side concludes with Dear Jeepers by Bob Guy, written by FZ, and The Big Surfer by Brian Lord & The Midnighters. 3 20 Years Of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ Side two features eight sides of the Original Sound label and two flip sides, beginning with the co-written Memories Of El Monte by the Penguins. This is followed by Grunion Run and Tijuana Surf (Hollywood Persuaders). Mr. Clean and Jessie Lee (Mr. Clean), Heavies (Rotation), Drums-A-Go-Go and Hot Water (Hollywood Persuaders) and two flip sides on which FZ´s involvement is doubtful – Not Another One (Midnighters) and Sixteen Tons (Masters). Gas Mask (MZ 4804) A1 Eye of Agamotto B1 The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque A2 My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama B2 Hungry Freaks, Daddy A3 Clap & Vomit [audience participation] B3 The Return of the Son of the Hunchback Duke B4 The Story of "A Pound for a Brown on the Bus" This is the first full entry of the Mothers of Invention. What happened to 1965 to 1968? I would guess a lack of good quality tapes from this era, so the order begins here. A sub-standard dub of the Appleton, Wisconsin, 1969 show was used. Side one opens with The Eye Of Agamoto, followed by the first live performance of My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama and concludes with something loosely titled Clap & Vomit. There are some untitled selections on this side. 4 20 Years Of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ Side two begins with the EriC Dolphy Memorial Barbecue and goes into Hungry Freaks Daddy followed by The Return Of The Hunchback Duke. The set concludes with The Story Of A Pound For A Brown On The Bus, which is actually from The Royal Albert Hall 1969 concert but is not noted that way in the set. Hotel Dixie (MZ 4805) A1 Sharleena B1 The Duke (Little House I Used to Live in / Penis A2 The Air Dimension / Mudshark Variations) A3 Dog Breath B2 Would You Like a Snack? / Holiday in Berlin A4 Mother People (with lyrics! - not listed) A5 You Didn't Try to Call Me B3 Instrumental [including Inca Roads and Easy Meat A6 King Kong themes) A7 Mom & Dad B4 Cruisin' for Burgers The fifth LP in the set is from a down-the-line soundboard tape of the 11/14/70 Fillmore East shows. Side one begins with Sharlena, followed by The Air, You Didn´t Try To Call Me, Mother People (no mention of this title on the covers), a very short King Kong and ends with Concentration Moon; Mom & Dad. Side two features a 20-minute version of The Duke (again). This version is different from the 1969 version. The tune has turned into a full-blown major piece of the times, but in years to come each small piece within the song 5 20 Years Of Frank Zappa „Silver Edition“ would be a monster all on its own. Included in this extravaganza are: Little House I Used To Live In, The Mud Shark (with early Penis Dimension), Holiday In Berlin (with text not included in Burnt Weeny Sandwich or 200 Motels version), the into a slow building up of two-chord pattern used in Inca Roads, a nice solo by FZ, further into chords of Easy Meat which builds up to Cruisin´ For Burgers whereupon this side and the fifth LP in the set come to a close. Grand Wazoo Orchestra (MZ 4806) A1 New Brown Clouds B1 Think It Over A2 Big Swifty B2 Approximate A3 For Calvin (and His Next Two Hitch-Hikers) The sixth LP in the set is the first performance of the Grand Wazoo Orchestra. It has a non-stop structure (the audience response to each selection has been edited out) which makes each side sound like a long piece. Only about half of the actual concert is on this record – the producer had intended to finish the concert on a record within the next scheduled set or on his own single LP.

  • An Experiment in Multidisciplinary Teaching: the Musical Theatre of Frank Zappa
    An Experiment in Interdisciplinary Teaching: The Music Theatre of Frank Zappa Paul Carr and Richard Hand, University of Glamorgan Project Report, June 2006 The global aim of this project was to investigate the viabilities of interdisciplinary teaching with undergraduates in the area of Drama and Popular Music: these are separate programs of study at the University of Glamorgan albeit within the same Department of Performing Arts. Popular Music is a relatively new degree scheme that commenced delivery in 2004, while Drama is well established, having been a single subject since the early 1990s. This report will examine the process of our multidisciplinary teaching experiment, and measure its effectiveness against the project aims set out below: • Enable staff and students from different disciplines to work together • Assist the assimilation and awareness of sister disciplines in order to discover commonality, and to learn from each other • Present a challenge for teaching staff who have extensive teaching experience in their own discipline but are new to academic investigation of colleague’s expertise • Begin the experimental and radical extension of the curriculum, with a view to develop other interdisciplinary modules and, ultimately, degree programmes The units chosen for this experiment were a final level module on the BA (Hons) Drama entitled American Theatre, and Ensemble Studies 3, drawn from the BA (Hons) Popular Music degree. The former module runs for a whole year and covers American theatre and live performance from the early twentieth century until the present day. A substantial and traditionally popular area of study within the module is the study of 1960-80s drama and performance which covers dramatists and theatre-makers like Sam Shepard, August Wilson and David Mamet and addresses topics such as the Vietnam war, the Civil Rights movement and AIDS.

  • Frank Zappa and the Orchestra Question: Dissonant Clatter Or Well-Crafted Design?
    FRANK ZAPPA AND THE ORCHESTRA QUESTION: DISSONANT CLATTER OR WELL-CRAFTED DESIGN? CHANAN HANSPAL Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of South Wales for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy. 2016 ABSTRACT This study offers an insight into the orchestral music of Frank Zappa and his unique approach to composition. In Chapter 1, The Fieldwork So Far, I present an extensive annotated bibliography of selected Zappa research to illustrate the multiple forms of discourse generated by the composer’s work. While this chapter examines various books and articles written about Zappa, it also illustrates the imbalance between critical theory and musicology. Chapter 2, Structure, Concepts and the Analytical Approach, describes analytical methods used as a rationale to determine modes of consistency across the studied pieces herein. As well as describing the analytical approach, I offer to align the conceptuality and design of the Calder Mobile with Zappa’s theory of weights, balances, measured tensions and releases by providing specific extracts of compositions where these concepts can be seen to exist. In chapter 3, I present the first analysis in this study of “Pedro’s Dowry”, a highly dissonant piece of music that builds on the idea of thematic and fragmental repetition. Chapter 4 is an analysis of “The Perfect Stranger”, a piece that demonstrates extensive use of Zappa’s Chord Bible. The chords are dense scalar derived structures exploiting both the octatonic and Minor Lydian scales, yet retaining fragmental and sectional repetition techniques. The analysis of “Bob in Dacron” in chapter 5 illuminates the process of intervallic manipulation and confirms the importance of recurrent ideas dispersed throughout.

  • Frank Zappa and Musical Theatre: Ugly Ugly O’Phan Annie and Really Deep, Intense, Thought-Provoking Broadway Symbolism
    Frank Zappa and musical theatre: ugly ugly o’phan Annie and really deep, intense, thought-provoking Broadway symbolism. Paul Carr and Richard J. Hand, University of Glamorgan At first glance it probably seems implausible if not preposterous to associate Frank Zappa (1940-93) with Musical Theatre. However, although he is generally recognised as a significant figure in the broad history of Rock music, his idiosyncrasy makes his output genuinely unique in comparison to conventional Rock oeuvres. Specifically, not only was Zappa renowned for being a highly theatrical performer and artist but one of the key distinguishing features in his work is a preoccupation with narrative and it is through the consideration of narrative that we are most able to conceptualise his work as Musical Theatre. On a microcosmic level, a sense of dramatic narrative informs many of Zappa’s songs; but on a macrocosmic level, too, his oeuvre as a whole can be interpreted as containing a narrative continuity. Moreover, the concept structure of Zappa’s albums – quintessentially in Joe’s Garage, Acts 1, 2 and 3 (1979) and Thing-Fish (1984) – creates an extended (and again dramatic) narrative that is more akin to the structure of Musical Theatre than conventional pop and rock album structuring. In addition, Zappa demonstrates an acute awareness of performance traditions and genres outside of those which, obviously, appertain to popular music and classical music: for example, Thing- Fish is an explicit exploration of Broadway Musical Theatre. This essay will propose that the work of Frank Zappa should be considered as Musical Theatre through a detailed critical investigation of the artist and the oeuvre.

  • 1 PAUL CARR Le Zappa Family Trust
    ! PAUL CARR Le Zappa Family Trust : Exemple de gestion autocratique des droits d’auteur musicaux ? À la mort de Frank Zappa, une bataille juridique s’est engagée entre le Zappa Family Trust (ZFT) et les groupes musicaux appelés « tribute bands » qui, en hommage au compositeur, œuvrent à faire connaître sa musique à travers des concerts et des enregistrements. Créé par l’épouse de Frank Zappa, Gail, peu après la disparition de celui-ci, le « ZFT » détient à ce jour les droits d’auteur et d’exploitation commerciale de tous ses enregistrements « officiels », et l’obstination farouche avec laquelle cette institution protège la propriété intellectuelle dont elle a la garde a suscité un nombre incalculable d’injonctions « de cessation et d'abstention », adressées essentiellement aux « tribute artists », propagateurs de l’œuvre de Zappa aux États-Unis et en Europe. Jusqu’à une date récente, le conflit le plus ancien était celui opposant le ZFT au « Zappanale Festival » de Bad Doberan, en Allemagne, hommage le plus important rendu au musicien dans le monde. Suivant une procédure engagée par le ZFT à l’encontre des organisateurs (l’Arf Society) début 2008 pour usurpation de marques commerciales, la justice allemande trancha en faveur du festival en juin 2010, statuant que le ZFT n’avait pas apporté la preuve que le festival se soit livré à une exploitation active desdites marques en Allemagne. Outre les problématiques d’usurpation de marques commerciales, le Zappa Family Trust s’oppose, pour l’essentiel, au droit des musiciens, propriétaires de salles et autres organisateurs de festivals à interpréter les œuvres musicales de Zappa, une arme juridique qu’il continue de brandir à ce jour.

The rise of interest in heavy metal academically reflects the growth of the genre as a normal or con- tested part of everyday lives around the globe. The aim of this series is to provide a home and focus for the growing number of monographs and edited collections that analyse heavy metal and other heavy music; to publish work that fits within the emergent subject field of metal music studies; that is, work that is critical and inter-disciplinary across the social sciences and humanities; to publish work that is of interest to and enhances wider disciplines and subject fields across social sciences and the humanities; and to support the development of early career researchers through providing opportunities to convert their doctoral theses into research monographs.
