The Tornadoes, a surf band that recorded their first hits at Zappa’s early 60s PAL Studio’s, have a new album out called “Now and Then”. It apparently includes a recording of FZ’s “The Cruncher”.
Five of the songs from their appearance [on Zappanale 15] are included in “Now and Then.” Also on the disc is the Johnny Cash song “Ring of Fire,” which Zappa had played during his own tour in 1988, and Gerald Sanders imitating Cash doing “Folsom Blues.”
