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 HERE'S THE INTERESTING PART, WHICH WOULD TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME TO WRITE OUT, - SO HERE'S THE SHORT 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" , BUT WARNER BROS. HAD OTHER IDEAS - ANYWAY, WARNER BROS. RECORDS DECIDED TO RELEASE THIS 2 LP SET - HOWEVER, THEY DIDN'T HAVE PUNKY MEADOW'S PERMISSION TO USE HIS NAME - SO IN THE U.S.A., ONLY TEST PRESSINGS EXIST WITH THE SONG "PUNKY'S WHIPS" ORIGINALLY INCLUDED ON THE RECORD - HOWEVER IN THE U.K., A FEW PRESSINGS GOT OUT WITH THE SONG ON THE ALBUM WHICH WAS QUICKLY WITHDRAWN - SO I HEARD THAT IN THE U.K. THEY HAD TO FIND A DIFFERENT RECORD PRESSING PLANT QUICKLY TO PRESS THE COPIES WITHOUT PUNKY - SO THEY FOUND ONE THAT PRESSED THESE KINDS OF RECORDS: I CALL THEM "TRANSLUCENT" VINYL, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE CORRECT WORD - WHAT THEY ARE IS THAT THE LPS LOOK BLACK, BUT WHEN HELD UP TO A BRIGHT LIGHT , LOOK RED AND YOU CAN KINDA' SEE THRU THEM - ALSO ON THE BACK OF THE COVER THE SONG TITLE "PUNKY'S WHIPS" IS STILL PRINTED AS THE 3RD SONG ON SIDE ONE -THEY REMOVED THE SONG LYRICS AND TITLE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD COVER AND THE SONG DOESN'T APPEAR ON THE RECORD LABEL OR THE RECORD IT'S SELF, - SO WHAT I HAVE HERE IS THE 2ND U.K. PRESSING IN WHICH THEY HAD TO REMOVE PUNKY'S WHIPS BUT FORGOT TO REMOVE IT FROM THE BACK COVER - FURTHERMORE, SINCE I FIGURE THAT THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH PUNKY FOR SOME PEOPLE INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING, , AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA THROW IN A COPY OF A 6 PAGE ARTICLE FROM MAY 31ST 2002 TITLED "ANGEL ON HIS SHOULDER" - THAT APPEARED IN THE WASHINGTON CITY PAPER, , ABOUT PUNKY AND WHAT HE WAS DOING AT THE TIME - YES, PUNKY MEADOWS STARTED RIGHT AROUND HERE IN THE 60'S IN A BAND CALLED "THE CHERRY PEOPLE" AND IN 2002 WAS RUNNING A TANNING SALON IN NEAR-BY VIRGINIA - - BUT WHAT I WILL TELL YO' BEHINDS IS THAT THIS ALBUM IS A 2 LP SET MANUFACTURED IN THE U.K. ON DISCREET RECORDS - K 69204 - OK LARRY?   

SIDE ONE POOTS FORTH: TIT*IES & BEER - I PROMISE NOT TO COME IN YOUR MOUTH - BIG LEG EMMA.

SIDE TWO OOZES OUT: SOFA - MANX NEEDS WOMEN - THE BLACK PAGE DRUM SOLO / BLACK PAGE 1 - THE BLACK PAGE DRUM SOLO / BLACK PAGE 2.

SIDE THREE WIPES UP: HONEY, DON'T YOU NEED A MAN LIKE ME? - THE ILLINOIS ENEMA BANDIT.

SIDE FOUR FLUSHES DOWN: THE PURPLE LAGOON.

THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME RING WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK. HEAVIER ON THE FRONT AND NOT TOO MUCH INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. THERE'S SOME EDGE WEAR AND SEAM WEAR BUT I DON'T SEE ANY SPLITS THAT GO COMPLETELY THRU THE CARDBOARD AND I DID LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL OF EM'. . NO TAPE. NO WRITING EITHER.

ALL FOUR SIDES HAVE SOME SCUFFS / SURFACE MARKS, BUT I DID PLAY 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 FOUR SIDES PLAYED REALLY GOOD WITH OF COURSE SOME SURFACE NOISE IN SOME PLACES WHICH WAS MOSTLY LIGHT. NO CLICKS. NO POPS. NO SKIPS. JUST LIKE I TOLD YEZ SOME SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES. AN ENJOYABLE ALBUM THAT SOUNDS LIKE VINYL, SO IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE GO BUY A CD OR SOMETHING. BOTH RECORDS COME IN HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVES, BUT WAIT..., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
