Hello, looks like they got you all jammed in here don't they <br><br>I'm a huge FZ fan (biggest I know of, but not as big as some here I bet.) Joe's Garage is my favorite Zappa album. I bought it and fell in love with the day before he died, and that was all it took. Now I'm hooked.. I worked for Steve Vai for a few years, so he helped fuel my FZ fixes and I even got to talk to Dweezil a couple of times too I'm a musician from Lawrence, KS and now I live in LA, CA. <br><br>Anyway,<br><br>My quesion is:<br><br>What are the names of all the CD/ LP/ Tapes in the Beat The Boots Box Sets 1 & 2 (if there are anymore boxes, those too)<br><br>I've got a complete Zappa collection except for the BTB sets and Its been one of my missions to get everything thats been released and I'm almost there. <br><br>Thank in advance for any info.

i puchased picantique a few years ago....i'd label it classic low budget zappa...the mix doesn't have all the perfectionist tweakings we take for granted from frank .... <br> <br>if you have the original albums it's definately worth scooping up a few of the boots for comparison and conceptual continuity <br><br><br>MTF...just noticed the new avatar text... ;D....[font=lcdD]nothin but the best for my dawg[/font]

Uh Cheesus Crust, now he's spamming threads that he didn't start, the infection is spreading and we need to stop it, or ignore it. Also I know nothing about the "Beat the Boot" box sets, sorry I can't help.

90 % of all boots just sound so crappy , it just wrecks a good thing , some collect em all though - not me , the number of good quality recordings is limited i guess till some techno whizz figures how to digi - manipulate a muddy boot into roxy or summit - i live in hope <br><br>mungo

I am hard pressed to ustify te purchase of inferior quality at retial prices (boots) but evry one in a while I can resist the urge. I am happy that the Zappa folks are cleaning up and releasing some of this stuff

Can I get a witness?

I've bought several of the Rhino "Boots" cd's and some are decent quality whilst others aren't . I've steered clear of the unofficial bootlegs as of yet , but dunno whether I'll change my mind in the future , as and when I complete the entire FZ collection (only a few to go) . The ZFT vault could banish the problem of shitty recordings if they released some of the better quality recorded stuff as a few of you have said (FZ-OZ being an example) as I believe there's still a market for "new" FZ stuff . What's gonna stop you & me buying bootlegs and cleaning up the sound ourselves on our PC's with specialist software (if & when it becomes cheap & easily available) and flogging it ourselves to make a few quid ? Wouldn't be bothered doing that myself BUT might I buy it if it sounded good and was not "officially" available . I know a lot of you won't buy the bootlegs but is that because of the current piss-poor quality OR your principles ??<br><br>
