This just in via Marco over at the Dutch Zappa-list. I haven’t been able to track down the following Gail Zappa quote on the zappa.com site which if you ask me suffers from a severe case of mystery meat navigation, but anyway here goes:
Yes, there is a certain manifestation of Freak Out! but there are 3 other discs – approximately 3 hours of alternate tracks from the sessions for the most part, some crazy surprises, and a little bit of FZ talking about. There are a few FZ edits here and there. You will enjoy the disc/overy I am sure, almost as much as we did. And then there is the packaging which we are also very excited about. This is truly one for the fervent and devout…it is good to know that some of what I say makes sense to some of the people who read it. So just so you heard it from me, there is nothing on the discs, 3 of which are about an hour of mostly (MOSTLY!) UNRELEASED materials, that is me talking for 30 minutes – why would I do such a thing to you or to FZ!!!! But we do have him in his own words too. And yes, it is all about Freak Out! What more do I really have to say.
Update: Andrew aka The Idiot Bastard says: “This is actually two quotes taken from the Zappa Forum that I edited together (and spell-checked!) for my website.”
This is actually two quotes taken from the Zappa Forum that I edited together (and spell-checked!) for my website. There’s a third, but it’s even more obscure.
Aah, I should of course have checked your website first Andrew. Thanks for responding!
