RELEASED IN 1977 - FRANK ZAPPA - - IN NEW YORK - THE MUSIC ON THIS 2 LP SET WAS RECORDED DURING THREE HALLOWEEN SHOWS AT THE FELT FORUM AND FOUR SHOWS AT THE PALLADIUM BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S IN 1976 - BUT THE INTERESTING PART HERE IS, - SO HERE'S THE FORESHORTENED VERSION: ORIGINALLY THIS 2 LP SET WAS GOING TO BE RELEASED WITH THE SONG "PUNKY'S WHIPS" ON IT- THAT SONG WAS ABOUT A GUITARIST CALLED PUNKY MEADOWS, WHO WAS IN A BAND CALLED "ANGEL" - IT SEEMED THAT TERRY BOZZIO, SEEMED TO LIKE PUNKY'S POOCHED OUT SUCCULENCE OF HIS INSOLENT POUTING RECTUS, AS WAS EXPLAINED IN THE SONG - MEANWHILE, FRANK WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS RECORD COMPANY WARNER BROS. RECORDS - FRANK WANTED TO RELEASE A 4 LP SET TITLED "LATHER" AND PUNKY'S WHIPS WOUDLA' BEEN ON IT, BUT WARNER BROS. HAD OTHER IDEAS - ANYWAY, WARNER BROS. RECORDS DECIDED TO RELEASE IT AS A 2LP SET. HOWEVER, THEY DIDN'T HAVE PUNKY MEADOW'S PERMISSION AND THOUGHT THAT PUNKY MIGHT GET PISSED OFF AND SUE EM' OR SOMETHIN' , SO THEY HAD TO GIVE PUNKY THE SHAFT - BUT AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, A LITTLE PUNKY MANAGED TO OOZE OUT IN PLACES, IN THE U.K. AND ITALY FOR EXAMPLE, A FEW PRESSINGS SLID OUT BEFORE THEY COULD CRAM A CORK IN PUNKY'S BEHIND, BUT EVEN AFTER THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD RID THEMSELVES OF PUNKY, SOME ALBUM COVERS WHICH CONTAINED THE LYRICS TO THE SONG AND THE SONG TITLE WERE USED TO POOT FORTH THE NOW PUNKY-LESS RECORDS - SUCH A CASE IS SEATED BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW - SO REV, DID ANYBODY SAY PUNKY AND BLOWN? HEY, WHAT DOES FULL BLOWN ON THE COVER MEAN ANYWAY? HUH? WELL LARRY, PUNKY'S WHIPS FULL BLOWN ON THE COVER MEANS THAT NOT ONLY IS THE SONG PRINTED ON THE BACK COVER WHERE THE SONG TITLES ARE PRINTED, BUT ALSO INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD WHERE THE ENTIRE LYRICS ARE PRINTED AS WELL AS THAT PHOTO OF TERRY BOZZIO HOLDING UP A PHOTO OF PUNKY MEADOWS - - SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE ORIGINAL ITALIAN DISCREET RECORDS COVER WITH PUNKY'S WHIPS FULL BLOWN ON IT - THERE'S NO PUNKY ON THE ACTUAL RECORDS, THEY'RE PUNKLESS - BY THE WAY SINCE YOU'RE HANGING AROUND ANYWAY, THE ZAPPA RECORDS IN NEW YORK 1990'S FRENCH / UK REISSUES ARE JUST THAT, REISSUES, NOT THE OOZED OUT PUNKY'S ORIGINALS, THEY DO CONTAIN PUNKY'S WHIPS, BUT IT'S THE ZAPPA REMASTERED VERSION, JUST LIKE ON THE CDS FRANK POOT FORTH IN THE 80'S - MADE IN ITALY BY WEA ITALIA AND PRESSED ON THE DISCREET RECORDS LABEL - W 69204 - HEY, THERE'S ITALIAN TAX STAMPS ON THE SIDE ONE AND SIDE THREE LABELS, SO YOU KNOW IT'S LEGIT - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS - OK LARRY?

NOW THE RECORDS ARE PRETTY NICE. I PLAYED EACH AND EVERY SIDE OF THIS 2 LP SET ON MY DENON TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. . MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY NAMED IT A HEAD AMP? IN ANY CASE, ALL 4 SIDES PLAY GREAT. VISUALLY THEY'RE SOME PRETTY NICE RECORDS TOO. A FEW SMALL LIGHT SCUFFS ON LADO 1, ONLY ONE REAL LIGHT SCUFF I COULD FIND ON LADO 2, NONE THAT I COULD SEE ON SIDES 3 AND 4, AND THAT'S WEARING GEEZER READING GLASSES. HEY, IF THERE'S SOME THERE THEY WOULDN'T BE WORTH MENTIONING. THE RECORDS ORIGINALLY CAME IN REGULAR WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVES WHICH ARE INCLUDED, BUT I'VE SPARED NO EXPENSE IN INCLUDING HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVES FOR BOTH RECORDS, BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
