Tracks 3, 8, 10, 15-16 & 22 are short announcer spots cutting to and from radio commercials. The only commercial used on the record is track 2. It is said to be funny. Track 9 is found on the vinyl (not listed on the cover), but perhaps not on the CD. Track 15 is longer on the CD, and listed as "Extemporaneous". Track 21 is an unknown bonus track. Tracks 23-28 are mostly in promotion of the BABY SNAKES movie. Somewhere among the interview lurks a "Latex Solar Beef" solo. Track 29 has been identified as a track from the album Swing, Charlebois, Swing by Robert Charlebois (RCA KDL 6436). There are stubborn rumours that Zappa plays guitar on that track. Here's a whiff of how it goes:
I don't wanna play cowboys & indians at the forum
Like a rock & roll bum,
But I wanna RIDE & FLY
Under a BLUE-JEAN SKY
DON'T ASK ME WHY!
Just GIMME, GIMME SOME
PETROLEUM!
JUST GIMME, GIMME, GIMME, GIMME SOME (gimme oil, gimme oil, gimme oil) ...
(The LP cover lists the recording location as "Monaco, Bav." - the French name for Munich is Monaco di Baviera (the Bavarian Monaco, if you will). Some people have believed that the concert took place in the little country of Monaco, which is not the case.)
