Release Notes

"THE BEST BAND YOU NEVER HEARD IN YOUR LIFE

The 1988 road band self-destructed before U.S. audiences in the south, Midwest and West could hear it perform. It was, however, heard and appreciated by East Coast and European audiences during its brief existence (four months of rehearsal in 1987/1988, followed by a tour, February through June, 1988), and it is from those performances that this compilation has been made.

The collection features big-band arrangements of concert favorites and obscure album cuts, along with deranged versions of cover tunes and a few premiere recordings.

In a world where most of the "big groups" go on stage and pretend to sing and play, we proudly present this quaint audio artifact. Yes, once upon a time, live musicians actually sang and played this. All material contained herein is 100% live, and there are no over-dubs of any kind."

Produced, arranged, compiled and edited by FRANK ZAPPA

Liner Notes

1991 Frank Zappa /Photos: Bruce Malone, LGI. /Design: Tracy Veal
1991 BARKING PUMPKIN RECORDS, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION/SAMPLING IS A VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS AND SUBJECT CRIMINAL PROSECUTION

Background Information

Boléro had to be removed from European copies as there were complaints from the extant copyright holders.

"Those readers unfamiliar with Laurie Anderson's work might not realize that we're parodying her in the middle section of 'Lonesome'---'Sharkey' is a character in several of her songs. I suggested including the relentless "ha ha ha ha ha ha" vocal part, ripped off from her song 'O Superman', and I came to regret it on some evenings when Frank decided to keep the section going on forever."

Mike Keneally

Lots of tracks on this album are recorded during his European Tour in 1988. To see Frank Zappa live and playing lots of songs of this album during his performance in Barcelona, watch the Zappa In Barcelona DVD, recorded and filmed during the European tour, May 17, 1988.
