  REMINGTON ELECTRIC RAZOR

                                             Europe ~ ML 001

Remington Electric Razor is a collection of one-of-a-kind outtakes that originate from Zappa himself. They were either nicked from him, or handed over by him. Most of the songs are exclusive to this record and are still essential, two songs appeared years later in the Stage series. It is unknown if the songs on this album were meant for a specific project, or if Zappa mixed them for fun or for some other purpose. [One guy claimed he had a copy with "test pressing" written on the labels, but this has not been verified] "Apocrypha" used most of the songs from this record.

1. Freak Me Out, Frank
2. Jumbo, Go Away [05:33]
3. Moe's Vacation [04:12]
4. The Black Page #2 [03:01] [not listed]
5. Dong Work for Yuda [03:05] [a capella version]

6. Tricky Dicky [05:49] ["Dickie's Such an As*hole"]
7. Nite Owl [02:18] [Tony Allen]
8. My Name is Fritz [02:33]

10. I Can't Get Me No Satisfaction [01:19]
11. Remington Electric Razor [01:01]

• Track 1 is the bit that appears on Stage #1 just before "Ruthie-Ruthie" (Passaic, New Jersey - November 8, 1974).
• Track 2 is a soundboard from Munich 31-Mar-1979 (early show).
• Tracks 3-4 are live in Poughkeepsie, New York, 21-Sep-1978 (parts also appear on Project/Object).
• Track 5 is from an unknown gig in February 1977. Almost certainly a Zappa mix leaked by a band member. There is a short dialogue by John Smothers right before this track, and there is another dialoge by Frank right after the track. (They are edited out on "Apocrypha.") They are both talking about the song "Dong Work", and the origin is unknown. Sounds like it's from a projected Zappa project, or from an unsurfaced broadcast.

• Track 6 is the Stage #3 version - without George Duke's solo.
• Track 7 is from the late show in Santa Monica on 11-Dec-1980 - a soundboard recording.
• Track 8 is an excerpt from "German Lunch" on Stage #5, but as the Stage version is heavily edited, this contains some additional material. The full, unedited recording has been issued as a "collectors" 45rpm.
• Track 9 is an out-take from 200 Motels; its real title is "What's the Name of Your Group?".
• Track 10 is from the late show in Stoneybrook on 15-Oct-1978, probably - an improvisation, from "A Pound for a Brown on the Bus", where a band member sings "I can't get me no ... satisfaction" over kind of a punk vamp.
• Track 11, the title track, is the famous one - a late 1960s commercial for Remington electric razors, which was never used: a speeded-up, multi-tracked Linda Ronstadt and a Zappa saying that the lectric razor "cleans you, thrills you ... may even keep you from getting busted".

"Remington Electric Razor" is probably one of the most important Zappa rarities ever released in its day -- and has got to be a one-of-the-guys-in-the-band production. All of the stuff sounds well-mixed and Zappa is the only possible source of material such as "What's the Name of Your Group?" and "German Lunch".
