[ TOM BROWN WAS WITH RHINO RECORDS FOR19 1/2 YEARS BEFORE THEY FIRED HIM, HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH BEAT THE BOOTS RHINO BOX SET PROJECTS AS WELL AS WELL AS OTHER RHINO RECORDS ZAPPA RELATED PROJECTS. - FOO-EEE RECORDS LABELS MANUFACTURED BY RHINO RECORDS - R-70372.

HERE'S THE DEAL FOLKS, I PURCHASED THIS BOX SET WHEN IT FIRST BECAME AVAILABLE IN 1992. I PLAYED EACH RECORD ONCE, THEN REPLACED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVES WITH COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES AND PUT THE RECORDS BACK IN THE COVERS WITH A PLSTIC OUTER SLEEVE OVER EACH ONE. SO EACH RECORD WAS ONLY PLYED ONCE AND ARE AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU WANNA CALL THAT I ALSO KEPT THE ACCEPT THESE SUBSTITUTES, TWO ORIGINAL STICKER THAT WAS ON THE SHRINK WRAP ON THE FRONT. THERE'S STILL SOME SHRINK WRAP STUCK TO THE BACK BEACUSE I DIDN'T WANNA TEAR IT.

NOW HERE'S THE INTERESTING PART: IN 1992 I WAS INVOLVED IN SOMETHING THAT WAS CALLED THE CAL SCHENKEL PROJECT WITH CAL SCHECKEL AT HIS FATHER'S HOUSE IN WILLOW GROVE, PENNSLYVANIA. THIS WAS A VIDEO PROJECT WITH CAL SCHECKEL THAT WENT NOWHERE, AND I STILL HAVE AROUND 17 HOURS OF UNEDITED VIDEO TAPE. IN ONE OFTHE SEGMENTS THAT LASTED OVER THE COURSE OF THREE WEEKENDS I BROUGHT THIS VERY BOX OVER THERE FOR CAL TO CHECK OUT. SO HE SAT IN A CHAIR ON A KIND OF STAGE THAT WAS SET UP UNDER SOME LIGHTS AND WE BEGAN SHOOTING. HE PUT ON THE ERY SAME BERET THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS BOX AND STARTED LOOKING AT THE SCRAPBOOK WHICH CONTAINS A BUNCH OF HIS ART WORK AND EXPLAINED SOME OF IT WHILE COMPLAINING THE WHOLE TIME THAT RHINO RECORDS NEVER GOT HIS PERMISSION TO USE HIS ART WORK. I ACTUALLY STILL HAVE THAT ON VIDEO TAPE BUT CAN'T INCLUDE IT. EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR THE TAPE AND LOST A BUNCH OF TIME AND MONEY, NOT TO MENTION THAT CAL NEVER PAID US A PENNY AND RECEIVED FREE COPIES OF EVERYTHING THAT WE SHOT, HE STILL WOULD GET PISSED AND SIC HIS LAWYERS ON ME IF I MADE ANY COPIES. YEAH, BELEIVE IT. ALL OF THIS WAS JUST TO INFORM YOU OF THE HISTORY OF THIS VERY BOX SET AND IS ALL TRUE.

ANYWAY, IF CAL HAD LICE THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE ON THE HAT SINCE IT'S BEEN STORED IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE WITH THE BEAT THE BOOTS PIN STUCK ON IT SINCE 1992. EVEN THOUGH CAL THUMBED THRU THE SCRAPBOOK ON CAMERA IT'S STILL ABOUT AS MINT AS IT GETS. SOME AMAZING STUFF IN THERE AND NOT ALL CAL'S SUCH AS A COPY OF THE FREAK OUT MAP. TOO MUCH ULTRA COOL FRANK ZAPPA EARLY YEARS, AND WITH THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION ARTICLES, PHOTOS AND ART WORK TO MENTION IT ALL. IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THIS SCRAPBOOK AND ARE A FRANK ZAPPA FAN AND / OR COLLECTOR YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF THE PROJECT OBJECT. THE ORIGINAL BOX IS ALSO INCLUDED OF COURSE. IT HAS A CREASE ON THE FRONT NEAR EACH SIDE WHICH IS HOWIT WAS WHEN IT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL FROM RHINO, THE REST OF THE BOX IS VIRTUALLY MINT.

FINALLY A 7 PAGE INTERVIEW WITH TOM BROWN OF RHINO RECORDS WHICH OF COURSE WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN THE BOX. TOM TALKS ABOUT EACH BOX SET, WHY HE PICKED THE TITLES THAT HE USED FOR BOTH BOX SETS, FRANK'S INVOLVEMENT IN THESE BEAT THE BOOT SETS, HOW GAIL WOULDN'T ALLOW THE USE OF THE REAL MASTER TAPES, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW CONCERNING THE BEAT THE BOOTS PROJECTS PLUS OTHER FRANK ZAPPA RELATED TOPICS. 

AND IN CONCLUSION IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR, MANY YEARS AFTER THE 1992 DEAL WITH CAL SCHENKEL I DID SPEAK WITH TOM BROWN WHO BY THEN HAD ALREADY BEEN FIRED BY RHINO RECORDS. TOM IS A REAL NICE GUY AND HE DID TELL ME THAT RHINO RECORDS NEVER DID PAY CAL ANY MONEY AND THAT THEY HAD A HABIT OF NOT PAYING THEIR ARTISTS SUCH AS POSSIBLY WILD MAN FISCHER. DISGRUNTLED FORMER EMPLOYEE? BUT IN DEFENSE OF RHINO RECORDS, TOM BROWN AND FRANK ZAPPA I CAN SAY THAT THERE WAS ALWAYS A QUESTION ABOUT WHO OWNED THE ART WORK THAT CAL MADE FOR FRANK SINCE CAL PAID HIM A SALARY TO MAKE IT FOR HIM. BY THE WAY CAL NEVER SUED FRANK OR RHINO RECORDS FOR THE USE OF THAT ART WORK,BUT KNOWING HIM IF HE THOUGHT THAT HE COULD WIN HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE. DO I HAVE AN AX TO GRIND WITH CAL, YOU BET. I JUST WISH THAT I COULD SAY MORE BUT THIS ISN'T THE FORUM FOR IT.

$14.00 FOR USPS PARCEL POST SHIPPING IN THE USA. THIS IS A HEAVY 11 LP VINYL RECORD BOX SET AND I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO SHIP IT AND TO WHAT LOCATION? IF I CAN SEND IT BY PRIORITY MAIL TO YOU SOMEWHERE IN THE USA I'LL DO IT. ONE THING THAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT I'LL NEVER SEND IT BY MEDIA MAIL, AND IF IT'S EVEN A LITTLE MORE THAN $14.00 TO SHIP IT BY PRIORITY MAIL I'LL ADD THE MONEY AND SEND IT BUT PARCEL POST ISN'T BAD EITHER. INSURANCE IS EXTRA IF YOU WANT IT IN THE USA ONLY, BUT IS OPTIONAL. I PACK STUFF WELL BUT IT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE.

$28.00 FOR AIR MAIL SHIPPING TO ANY OTHER LOCATION IN THE WORLD. I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE I'LL PROBABLY LOSE A FEW BUCKS ON THAT DEAL DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION. NO SURFACE MAIL SHIPPING!!! IF YOU WANT SURFACE MAIL SHIPPING FIND ANOTHER SELLER ON E-BAY SELLING HELEN REDDY RECORDS AND BUY THEM, THEN TELL THE SELLER THAT YOU WANT SURFACE MAIL SHIPPING. THE SELLER WILL BE SO HAPPY THAT ANYBODY EVEN PURCHASED THEM BEFORE THEY WERE HEADING FOR THE DUMPSTER AND WILL SEND THEM BY SURFACE MAIL TO YOU. THEN AFTER AROUND 3 MONTHS WHEN THE RECORDS ARRIVE BROKEN IN HALF YOU CAN BE HAPPY, BECAUSE NOW YOU WON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM. I KNOW THAT I'D BE.
