Hi Gail, were the new 2012 Joe’s Garage CD’s done at normal speed mastering? I read an old interview where Frank wasn’t happy with the sound of the half-speed mastering done for Joe’s Garage and it could be assumed that the previous CD releases were the half-speed versions.

I’m off to buy some more 2012 release

I have all of his albums, many on Vinyl as well as CD, Books, Guitar Magazines, I saw him live a few times here in the UK, I have most of Dweeziil’s albums, I have seen ZPZ numerous times etc

I already have every Zappa cd release so I wasn’t planning on buying the new remixes. However, I decided to update Hot Rats since I only have the 1987 mix. WHOA! the new mix is SUCH a revelation I’m going to have to find money to update the catalogue! Thanks for revealing the music more fully.

Whoa!, you…

Hello,
I recollect an thrilling announcement earlier this year concerning Roxy and its release somewhat this year. After that my mailbox remained silent. That can have multiple causes but an update would be very much appreciated.

Thanx in advance so the speak.

Dear Gail,

I’ve made a lyric consisting entirely of titles from Frank’s songbook.
I don’t know if I need permission for this, if I do I’m hereby seeking it.
