There are many Samplers and Compilations that are not part of The Official Frank Zappa Discography and this is one of them.
This is a Sampler Project and was produced by Frank specifically as a Sampler. It is not part of the Official Discography and it does not get a # in the Official Discography. If all of Franks Sampler projects were placed in The Official Discography the number of Projects it the Official Discography may be 120 instead of 79.

There are many Compilations and Samplers made for Radio and some even for distribution where a fan may purchase that item but these are not included in the Official Discography for these items may not be considered Projetcs in the same manner as those 79 items listed in The Official Discography.

Many of these Samplers,Compilations or 45s may be viewed seperately from releases that are Specific Projects as listed in Teh Official FranK Zappa Discography. So when we loook at a release that gets one of these # such as Trance Fusion has a release # 79 remember it is a PROJECT with a bit more of a scope focus than just some Sampler.

Trance Fusion was a Projetc not just some Compilation of Guitar Solos. A Sampler ideology on The Official Catalouge is what I have been questioning. Calling them SAMPLERS is disrespectful to the artisstic integrity and or scope of the Project.

In the case of the many RYKOCompilations I feel the ZFT made a great decision omiting or let me put that more direclty, deciding to never include these in The Official Zappa Discography.

This is another point that seperates Franks Projects from Sampler Ideology. Each one of those Projects had a scope. Even when Frank made
Have I Offended Someone ? that project was put together as a Project where it is more than a compilation or collection of hits/misses.

We the fans are not in control. We have a choice to use our eyes and ears or read it and weep.
