Original tsinsomnia Notes:
I taped this show on a Craig mono cassette recorder with a Kent external microphone. Shortly after the concert, I traded the tape around, and later it wound up on a bootleg LP entitled "Unmitigated Audacity" in very degraded form - it runs too slow and is muffled-sounding. I had nothing to do with this boot. Unmitigated Audacity, in unaltered form, was later included as part of the first Beat the Boots series, which is now long out of print.
The original tapes, while not recorded on the best equipment 1974 had to offer, sound very nice for the period and far better than the well-known bootleg. Note that I was recording on 120m cassettes, and the long medleys and my fascination with the show resulted in tape running out twice during the music: Inca Roads has music missing at 9:28. Also, the end of Harry You're a Beast and beginning of Oh No are lost due to late tape flips.
No EQ/compression has been used - what you hear is what is exactly what is on the original cassettes. Also, I've created a separate folder for pre-show tune-ups and the pre-show radio ad. No music (aside from instruments tuning) or Zappa monologue is in this folder, This way, every second of sound from the original concert tapes is included here.
The opening act was Bill Quateman. I also recorded that set.
flambay add. notes:
The pre-concert "Extra Subfolder" tracks from the orig.seed are now included in the main folder: tracks 00 and 01
The actual show ("Frank Says Hello") starts at track 02.
