 Eric Bogosian:<blockquote>
 You want the real deal, here it is. Frank and I made the tape in 1986 in his studio in the Hollywood hills. After the tape was finished, Frank wanted to control the copyright. Since his death, Frank's estate has continued to want total control of the copyright. I have been advised not to relinquish this. Which makes sense since I wrote and performed (excepting the music) the whole thing. Frank edited and produced my stuff. So there it stands. Neither side will give in. I think it's a drag. I've offered to share the copyright and they're not interested. I love the piece and I would love people to hear it, especially Zappa fans, since I have been one since the mid-Sixties.

-Anyway, FZ went sour on the project somewhere along the line and prevented it from getting much, if any, distribution. In [[Society Pages]] (1988), FZ tells that "it will not be coming out".
