    Haven’t had a chance to download the critter yet myself, believe it or not. Erhm… Gilles?

    I don’t know… maybe.
    audio quality seems equal.

    Acording to Roman, from the zappa.es list:
    “(Los temas 11 a 15) son todos del pirata _We Are The Mothers And This Is What We Sound Like_:

    11. Baked-Bean Boogie

    En realidad el corte conocido como “This Is What We Sound Like”, del
    mencionado pirata, un solo de guitarra (parece que de Lowell George) y
    más cosas, de fecha sin identificar, c. 1968-69.

    12. Right There

    Aparece allí como “Variations On A Theme From Run Home Slow” (lo cual
    es cierto). También aparece casi entero en el _Mystery Disc_ como
    “Skweezit Skweezit Skweezit”.

    13. Didja Get Any Onya?

    En realidad, “The Jelly”, aunque en la edición en CD de _Weasels
    Ripped My Flesh_ aparece esta misma versión como parte de “Didja Get
    Any Onya?”

    14. Igor’s Boogie

    Del concierto en el Royal Festival Hall de Londres en 1968, quedó
    fuera de _Ahead Of Their Time_.

    15. King Kong

    También de Londres, aunque esto sí que aparece en el disco oficial.

    Translated:
    “Ive heard them, and the tracks belong to the boot
    _We Are The Mothers And This Is What We Sound Like_:

    11. Baked-Bean Boogie

    In fact, is the cut known as “This Is What We Sound Like”, from said boot; a guitar solo (seems to be from Lowell George) and more stuff, unidentified date, c. 1968-69.

    12. Right There

    Appears there as “Variations On A Theme From Run Home Slow” (which is true). It also appears almost entirely in the _Mystery Disc_ as “Skweezit Skweezit Skweezit”.

    13. Didja Get Any Onya?

    In fact, “The Jelly”, although in the CD edition of _Weasels
    Ripped My Flesh_ this same version appears as a part of “Didja Get Any Onya?”

    14. Igor’s Boogie

    From the Royal Festival Hall of London concert in 1968, it was left out of _Ahead Of Their Time_.

    15. King Kong

    Also from London, although this appears in the disc.

    (thanks Roman!)

    You are welcome! But the thanks have to go to Roman, who had the info. I’m just the messenger, and the bilingual indian of the group…
