ZAPPA & BEEFHEART
"METAL MAN HAS HORNETS WINGS" LP
HERE IS SOME INFO I NICKED FROM AN OLD LISTING FROM ANOTHER SELLER ( SO I HOPE IT'S ACCURATE) :
"...Zappa The Mothers Of Invention and Captain Beefheart performing unreleased rarities in the '60s. The sound quality is top level in the genre world of such pressing.
Metal Man Has Hornet's Wings was pressed up in limited quantity, in 1976 on both Dragonfly Records (aka Vickie Vinyl) and on Wizardo Records) and features an array of lost gems from the Mothers Of Invention '60s era including Captain Beefheart with F Zappa and The Magic Band ... Various tunes throughout have remained unreleased, including such gems as the original version of "How Could I Be Such A Fool" which was left off the 1965 Freak Out album

How Could I Be Such a Fool? (original version left off "Freak Out") 13. Boogie for Berkeley 14. Neon Meat Dream of a Octafish 15. King Kong 16. Speed Freak Boogie
There is a completely unsubstantiated rumour that this radio show was actually a broadcast of a Warner Brothers promo record with these songs on it, which has never been found and never been confirmed to have existed.
Other highlights include:
- Track 2 (and maybe track 3) are live at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, 24-Feb-1974
- Track 4 has Zappa talking about a record company's reaction to a demo tape, while two songs are playing in the background: "Power Trio from the Saints & Sinners" and "Bossa Nova Pervertamento".
- Track 5 is the last Studio Z recording (1964) from the night before the police raid (with Captain van Vliet Beefheart)
- Track 6 has been officially released in a shorter edition on the Mystery Disc (as "Original Mothers at the Broadside (Pomona)"); it is the first live recording of the Mothers, 1965, and the song they are playing is called "Louisiana Blues"
- Track 8 is a 1966 recording of Lowell George & the Factory, produced by and featuring Frank Zappa.
- Track 9 is the 1969 single version from A&R Studios, New York, a different edition of which has been released onStage #5
- Tracks 10-11 are from Studio Z in 1964. Track 10 is an early rehearsal recording of the Mothers, with Zappa talking on top of it - he claims the group is trying to play "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley.
- Track 12 is from the first studio rehearsal with the Mothers, 1965
- Track 13 could be live 1968
- Track 15 is live in London 1968
