Frank Who? (2)

In answer to the comments on Frank Who?, this snappy Gail Zappa quote from Relix Magazine‘s April/May ’06 issue (which was sent to me by its guest editor Richard Gehr — thanks so much for that bud!) should clear things up a bit:

The two concerts seen in the Dub Room Special DVD exist separately on video, and we’re working on releasing one of them in surround sound. This also represents our first foray into another project I’m interested in, which is inviting certain well-known producers and engineers who never had an opportunity to work with Frank, but were well aware of, inspired by, or interested in his work, to get their hands on a Frank Zappa project. In this regard, we turned over the KCET concert to Frank Filipetti. And we’ll still release the Token of His Extreme DVD by the same band.

    I’ve been leafing through this Relix issue, and i must say there’s enough stuff there to fill my entire weekend just reading. Everybody should fight in the mudd to obtain a copy. Very cool, Richard!

    I DEFINITELY SHOULD READ THE GAIL INTERVIEW WITH MORE SCRUTINY, BUT I MUST SAY THAT MOST OF THE FRANK STUFF IN THAT ISSUE IS PRETTY MUCH FLUFF. THE INTERVIEWS WITH GAIL & DWEEZIL ARE (OBVIOUSLY) REVEALING, BUT ALOT OF THE REST IS THE USUAL ‘HE WAS WOOLY, HE WAS WILD, HE WAS WEIRD, ROXY & ELSEWHERE IS AN AMAZING ALBUM’ KIND OF STUFF. NOTHING THAT ANYBODY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN PAID TO DO. I SUPPOSE NOW THAT BOB WEIR’S NASTY VISAGE DON’T MOVE MAGS LIKE IT USED TO, THEY HAVE TO BRANCH OUT TO OTHER COUNTERCULTURAL MUSIC PEOPLE FROM THE PAST. IT IS FUNNY HOW DWEEZIL TALKS ABOUT TAKING TIME OFF FROM MUSIC TO PLAY…WAIT FOR IT…THAT’S RIGHT…GOLF. FUCKING GOLF. POPS HAS GOTTA BE ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE OVER THAT ONE!

    I went 2 weeks ago to the biggest magazine-store (or what) but Relix is simply unavailable here in the east.
    BTW: thanks for the info!

    Balint: Barry is going to put up scans of this entire Relix FZ feature once the next Relix comes out (June ’06) and the current one is sold out. He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m about to tell him. ;)

    Hello! I´m from Portugal and i read here ina another post, about european releases of FZ records, being difficult to find.

    As far as Portugal is concerned, that´s not true. I have almost all the FZ Ryko releases and i keep seeing the cd´s in the shops.

    I´d like to ask if the the 2005 releases of FZ cd´s ( Apostrophe, for instance) are better than the previous ones.

    Thanks anyone who cares to answer.

  8. josé says:

    OK. Don´t bother. I just got the answer: from here

    Thanks anyway.

    Who the fuck is Joe Travers?

  10. Joe says:

  11. josé says:

    If Joe is the real Joe, thanks Joe!

    I have seen the dvd Dub room Special yesterday.

    Great work!

    Is there anything in video format( dvd), from Overnite Sensation?

  12. josé says:
