NICE IDEA!!!

I could care less what zombie has to say abt me --- and it's clearly wild hyperbole......

i've been away... doing one of the things i love best-- playing Zappa's music [AS HE ASKED US TO DO ON HIS DEATHBED..] for fellow fans.... in the Northeast....

Whatever , dude. You are the kind of energy that keeps my ass off this forum -- so you get your wish!!

Who has the time for a thread-war with clowns like you?? I'm out there doing it, while you play with your balls. I will back up ANYTHING i have said -- dirty laundry??? how about my right to respond to ZFT hyperbole, as well as yours?? And - wow --- you really are being extra-sensitive -- I mean --- my original comments on this CD were pretty well balanced -- i praised it coming out..just commented wryly on the packaging THEN OFFERED A SOLUTION..damn, what the fuck is wrong with you!??


BTW - to the others ....I write you now from muy bonita CHILE... where i just road-managed a show with Al DiMeola (another great Italian....) ..wow..what a place, gotta visit again..any forum members here in Chile??

Speaking of the southern hemisphere - hey bernie!! thanks for going to bat for me ---what can I say?? this character has a loose screw somewhere.....

Whatever anyone says, ZFT or forum members, Andre does good work. Its people like him that keep contribute keeping Franks music really alive, whether you like it or not.

Someone should make a YouTube video about how to remove those damn discs safely.

Sweet Mama Cass, I did a search on my tubes of blank CDs and DVDs, and found out that I have an ungodly amount of "dummy" transparent CDs - over 50.

i had a hard time with the first disc ( 1 ) tok me 10 minutes but i was impressed how well packaged the cd was , wrapped tigtly in plastic and nothing broken : )...( unless you broke it yourself ; ) ) considering it came all the way from the U.S.A to Sweden.....

By the way this has nothing to do with this thread but..he says on the cd that "the reurn of the son of monster magnet" was an unfinished song..and considering him going back to re-do stuff on the "were only in..." and "cruizing with.." did he ever finish that song?

no. he left it the way it was. it would have been fun to hear 'monster magnet' the way he intended, but, I guess he just thought "fuck it" and went on to other things.

Okay, okay, hideous necro I know, and it doesn't look good when it's my first non-activation post but:

I got the Mofo deluxe this morning in the post and couldn't get the discs out immediately, so I Google'd the problem and found this thread, so I'm guessing that others will do that too. I tried the various fixes mentioned (mainly it seems to boil down to lifting gently and rotating ... then found a better way to do it.

Here's my solution:

Take a piece of cloth (in my case it was the bottom edge of the sweatshirt I was wearing, but you could use an eCloth if you want to be "pro") and slide it under the disc until it stops at the spindle. Then draw it around the spindle so that it fully supports the disc. Then press the plastic hub in the middle to release the disc.

This way takes about ten seconds and you don't run the risk of causing rotary scratches by turning the disc. (I actually think that there are some scratches on my discs that were put there in the process of getting the discs onto the spindles in the first place.)

Hope this helps late purchasers.
