Minding Mam. Zappa about Releases.
I believe the cost of retrieve audio from old tapes its a risk umbearable, tha CAn be done with a wing and a prayer IF: -Not to be suported exclusively by Zappa Family Trust. secondly even due to devotion it could be profitable to build a church out of world wide Zappa Cult e can imagine it would be atainable step-by-step first of all realeasing a fund colect to "dig" a especific tape from the vault that tape would be one elected by vote from a www list of "possibly recoverable" tapes, some like order on demand thing.
That way, Zappa lagacy will meet the request of www fans truly devoted feeding the: we'r only in it for the money thing, all interest taken in account!

Zappalives!

With all due respect to Gail, let's get down to business about the vault tapes.

The vault tape retrieval thing is too expensive for the ZFT alone.

Let's recover a specific tape from the vault based on a vote from devoted fans willing to come up with the money.

Poly, you should get a gig with the UN. They always need translators!

Hey, Tweezers, I've had about 5 years experience in high schools teaching kids for whom English is their first language and about 10 years in foundation studies teaching international students getting ready for university for whom English is at least their second language. I'm not sure which was harder on average in the translating stakes but I'm one of the fairest exam markers you'll ever meet.

I got the gist of that but was distracted by the slightly familiar sentence (un)structure causing me to wonder if this was another incarnation of one of our Pratchett disciples.

I wish I had multi-lingual skills Poly, I learned French in HS and could read Hugo or Saint-Exupery (gone now as I pass age 58). I always enjoy your imput in this forrum.

I dunno why the ZFT always gets peoples hope up. They've averaged 2 FZ a year for years now, right? Multi-disc sets, yea, but still 2, maybe 3 if yr lucky. That should suffice.

Hey Tweezers, I'm still stuck in the one dimension of English when it comes to languages. I have a very rudimentary knowledge of French and learned enough Latin and Greek at school to give me a deeper insight into English, but that's it. I have had a lot of painful practice deciphering busted English though.

It is funny to me how little I, as an American, have been motivated to learn other languages. The English-as-the-only language mantra here results in less well-rounded individuals.

Well said Tweezers! I've tried my best learning French (to the greater extent of the 3), Spanish and Italian and feel at this point in the game that I know English very well and a deformed, bastard child of those other languages which we shall call Franishian. :wink: :oops:
