Civilization Phase III hasn't been on the Barko-Swill website for a while now and I'm wondering will it be available again?

I've sent an email to musictoday but all I got back was the answer in the Q&A for "I do not see an item online that I want, is it available?" which doesn't really help. It basically says "If you are looking for an item that is not displayed for sale on the Website, then we currently do not stock that item."

Is it just out of stock? And if it is, wouldn't it make sense to still have it pictured there and say "it's out of stock"?

Not only is it out of stock, but it has ceased to exist.

I just went back to my collection, and it's gone.

Eerie.

Pennsylvania.

I think this is not the first time, and it appeared again if I'm correct.

Anyway I've seen some copies in French stores.
If you wanna get a copy I suggest you to check G&S Music, they might still have it.

They do, and always have, which is why it always amazes me that on e-Bay and such like people state that it is "OUT OF PRINT", when you can get it always at BS and G And S.....

But yeah, it does come in and out of stock at BS it seems, I do remember this being posted before. They wont let it drop out of print though, IMO....

That would be a damn shame if the best album in the history of ever ceased to be readily avialable.

that album is perfect, beautiful, and of all of frank zappa's work its the only one where I feel like he let us know him. he was famous for his complex pieces and they are all wonderful but they are TOO perfect and the subjects are aliens landing from space, falling in love with punk meadows (two of my favorite songs) but In civ. III it was like here it is, i'll get personal on this one and its fucking beautiful.

Thanks Maroual!

That G&S site is great!

I have 50$ in a box under my bed waiting for Civ 3 to come out of BArfko again. I might go to G&S if it doesn't come back reasonably soon.

Here, here. I concur. Well said that man.

You could try GEMM. You can get new and used copies (and even LP's) of just about anything.

Hint: If something is way overpriced, wait a while and the price will probably come down as the item doesn't sell.

Yea! Very nice, Mr. Grimpo. Cheers..

A testimonial, Dear Friends.....

Civilisation was broadcast in its entirety on the BBC magazine programme 'Hear and Now' in Dec 1995. Earlier there was a discussion about FZ with Mark Sandall and the other one from Mixing it (radio 3) with UK Ryko man 'Andy Childs'*.

I wonder if any other Radio Station in the world had the balls to broadcast this meisterwerk.

Is it legal to make the radio programme available as a download?

I have it on a c120 basf cassette


Andy Childs was in the 70's a writer for Zigzag UK music paper, and is close to my heart with his Mighty Baby piece in #37. The one with Charlie watts on the cover

I would be interested to hear that, I always liked Mixing It. Im glad they took notice of CPIII too, cos it seems to be forgotten amongst alot of Contemporary Classical / ( dare I say it? ) Avant - Garde circles. I always think like "God, if you like that, Youll fucking love CPIII man, check it out!".....but hey, thats life. And music is all about taste....


And yes, my radio show does have the fucking balls thankyou very much. Zappa month in December too. An entire month of shows, two hours of FZ every Saturday night. 1st, 8th, 15th,22nd and 29th......

Ill be asking for request on here at a later date!

I think the re-broadcast of this show is a good idea, and playing it during your december programming would be ideal.

I am going to get someone to transfer my cassette recording onto Reel to Reel and other media before the thin tape stretches. I think its been played through 2wice since 1995

A great idea, but wouldnt I need permission from Radio 3 / Mark Sandall et al? I am now on an FM frequency as well as online, so using their actual show, as opposed to artists released musics, could be a little different. Ill check it out though.....Oh, and youll have to send me a cdr of it also of course!

Will do!

I think the 1995 show was an event initself, I'm sure the BBC would not mind, I do not think they will their knickers in a twist...


I will see my boffin friends this week and see what they can do with the tape.

up with the partridge!

je ne sais quoi

For those who do not read French, it roughly translates to:
"I am the asshole responsible for this grafitti."

as you might not have known, I just redid a joke by the marx brothers ...

Sorry, couldn't resist....

Did somebody steal it ?
