RE: [Zappa-List] The little known history of the Mothers of Invention

2011-05-11 Thread A.F. Harrold
It's just the Penguin In Bondage and a lengthy blues vamp thereafter during
which Frank tells the story of Pal Studios/Studio Z up to the singing and
founding of the Mothers - the show was the tenth anniversary.

 

It's a nice Penguin solo, and the whole thing is fun enough, but possibly
not worth the fiver or whatever i-tunes is asking for it.

And yes – It was definitely Matt Groening’s moustache design.

 

Does anyone remember that this was supposed to be detachable and stick-on-able? 
I never did experiment with this, assuming whatever stick it has would fade and 
you’d soon be left with nothing. Did I dream this?

I have this release - bought from ebay, quite a while ago. Rarity factor, I 
cannot say (Milhouse?), but it was a limited pressing, only available thru 
Barking Pumpkin, so it was not widely released.

I enjoy it well enough - certainly one of the better compilations released.

What an amazing CD it is.with well over 85 Cd's of all Franks works
including no doubt a few possible one of a kind (a lumpy prototype)cd's  
several photos from when I saw FZ at Univ of Miami in early 1970's with opening 
act Savoy Brown.I have the all black CD entitled Frank Zappa plays the 
Music of Frank Zappa - A Memorial Tribute. Released right after Franks passing 
by son Dweezel for the true Zappa Fan...my question is How rare is this release 
? and How many actually know about it let alone have actually heard it ? It is 
said to contain Franks favorite Live works and presented with each version on 
the record for comparison. For those of yopu that dont know, it has a die cut 
moustache and Imperial on the front of cd that resembles that of FZ.

It's something to think about - where Frank's music might've been today -
fifteen years - the distance travelled from Freak Out! to Shut up 'n' Play
Yer Guitar, or from Over-Nite Sensation to Broadway the Hard Way, or from
Sheik Yerbouti to Civilization Phaze III - just imagine what these last
fifteen years might have been... Yellow Shark to... who can possibly know...

 

I'll raise a cup of tea to Frank's memory today.

RE: [Zappa-List] help/info needed on converting files

Hi Joseph,

 

I believe itunes will do it - click 'preferences' in the 'edit' menu, go to
the 'advanced' tab, then 'importing' and set it to WAV - then you can right
click any track and you'll see the 'convert selection to WAV' option.

 

That would do it, I think?

To make this short, the subject line says it in a nutshell.  I have been
using MusicMatch to convert from MP3 to WAV and the vice versa on one
computer (since my version of Sound Forge only recognizes WAVs).  Since
MusicMatch changed to Yahoo Music and then was discontinued, I can't do this
on my other computer.  I've looked at the other rippers/players on that PC
and can't find the same function; maybe I have it but don't know it.

 

What other programs can do this seemingly simple task?  Jim L., you have
always had great information.  

 

thanks for your indulgence,
