[Zappa-List] FZ 3/2/77 Vine offer UK starting point
I thought I'd start a vine of this great show which is the show from which the Titties Beer vinyl boot was taken. Funnily enough this seems to be a different source than the TAB boot but better sounding.the only flaw is a cut in TAB itself which doesn't appear on the vinyl album. So the first person in the UK to contact me off list gets a copy and then others feel free to sign up. This is the info I have; Frank Zappa 3/2/77 Pavillion de Paris,Paris,France.

SOFA wrote I'll start a US leg after Euro hoppination - but I have a question or two: Titties Beer was one of the very first Boots I ever purchased (in Japan, in 1979), so I didn't know about boot quality; I thought the sound sucked, but found the performance behind the shitty sound amazing. I've never owned the vinyl but have had it on tape/cdr for many years..I think the copy I am vining is quite alot better than the vinyl album,although I thought the vinyl copy was very listenable. Not only that but this is the complete show other than the cut in TAB so worth getting even if you have the vinyl boot. Yes BHARA does end in the Beach Boys parody you mention. There is some loud audience clapping in between numbers but they at least have the sense to remain quiet whilst the music is playng...you could hear a pin drop during Le Serviette Noir for instance. One of my fave shows but then I go along way back with the tape I had of the vinyl boot (which still comes up now and again on ebay by the way).

Hi , I have a copy from zappateers and if this is the same, I believe it'salot betterthan the Titties and Beer boot which I have as well. Just my opinion though. It is a good show though!

Glen, you say it sounds better like you have heard the vinyl in comparison. Is it markedly better? A little better? Really only a little bit better? I still own that vinyl, so if it's the same, I shouldn't get in line. And - just to make sure this is the same boot we're talking about - does BHAFA end in a Beach Boys parody of Little Deuce Coup (She gotta little poop shoot, you don't know what she got)?

An UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL Ladies Gentlemen! Good enough for me; thanks Chris - and Glen. Oh, and if John Keating responded before me, he can start it off here; makes no difference to me.

RE: [Zappa-List] Re: VO: A Token Of His Extreme DVD
A fair question Dawayne. Heres my stab at an answer. Its generally accepted in the lossless music / Video Of music community that every time a DVD is converted between PAL and NTSC or the opposite a loss of video quality is introduced. Combine that with the fact that the cheapest DVD player you can find at walmart can convert on the fly without quality loss, and a good argument can be made for never converting. Many players only need to have the TV type set to NTSC to be able to convert. Most come set on multi mode. In multi mode a PAL disc will give you PAL output and an NTSC disc will give you NTSC output. Going into your players setup and setting it for NTSC only output or TV type NTSC (this setting varies with brand) will let it give a perfect NTSC output even with a PAL disc. This is because every player has a digital to analog converter or DAC. Its very easy for the DAC to simulate 29 frames per second even with 25 frames per second digital video. NTSC and PAL are broadcast TV standards after all and DVDs only simulate the formats. They are not broadcasts but are just video streams. My $25 APEX does it as do both of my Philips players while my old $200 Sony player cant do it. Software to convert without loss costs about $200 and a hardware converter that does an even better job costs $400. Its just more cost effective to invest a few bucks in a player that plays PAL. If your player gives you a message saying something about region or format incompatibility then it probably cant play PAL. If it gives you sound and a jumbled black and white rolling picture then its probably just set on multi. The other reason for not converting with cheaper software is to try and maintain the integrity of the trading pool. Its generally excepted that a DVD should be kept in its native format. Lets take the KCET show as an example. Coming from LAs public television station it was most certainly NTSC to start with. Somewhere along the way it got converted to PAL and probably lost a little quality in the process. So now if it gets converted back to NTSC another loss occurs. Later someone in the UK might not be able to play NTSC (although this is rare) and convert it back to PAL again with another loss. You see where Im going with this. Better to vine or trade the original format and then let each recipient convert his own copy if need be, and if he doesnt mind the loss.

I just received the KCET DVD from John G in Kansas. It's in PAL format and needs to be converted. That's odd as the disc I seeded here was a direct dvd-r copy of the Room 101 silver pressed release which is code free. I can only assume that somewhere along the line someone has kept the original and made a PAL copy and sent that on insteador it's possible the original was in PAL format but I didn't notice. The disc I sent out was unbranded with a white face and KCET written on the clear plastic inner ring..does this look like the disc you have Dawayne ?
