Thanks Joe. It's a shame you aren't at liberty to say more about the content of the release/that of new releases in general, but that mystery has it's own charm, I suppose... looking forward to hearing, and, ultimately, seeing for myself, what this one's all about! 8)


Yeah, it would be handy to have some sort of idea on the content
If it's largely spoken word then people might get cheesed off.
That's what happened when I forked out $60 for Playground Psychotics
I really only wanna listen to the spoken word stuff once, it's the music that bears repeated listenings


Wait a few days after the release for someone to post a review then.

Another forum member gave me (and all other european citizens of course :wink: ) the hint to buy here: http://www.wowhd.de/search?q=frank+zappa&sort=relevance&page=1 I didn't try it since but lots of the single CDs cost 9,99€, most doubles 16,99€. If anyone has experiences with this distributor, please report.
Incidentally: Läther and finer moments ready for preordering:
http://www.wowhd.de/CD/frank-zappa-finer-moments/dp/31962173
http://www.wowhd.de/CD/frank-zappa-lather/dp/31920859

WowHD are okay. Slow deliveries, but low prices and no shipping fee. :)

What's with the pricing situation?!

Finer Moments amazon.com = $23.27 amazon.co.uk = £23.95
Läther amazon.com = $34.37 amazon.co.uk = £13.20

That is so back to front it's totally bizarre.

Looks like their Dynamic Pricing has some really Fuzzy Logic behind it.

Google translate has it like this:

New territory even for the akribischsten Frank Zappa fan: Finer Moments is a live compilation that Zappa compiled 1972-1973 - and then forgot in his archives? No one can know today! Zappa would spend up to 18 hours a day around there when he was not on tour. Hundreds of hours of music waiting there still waiting for the light of day, to the delight of his fans.
The present 13 live recordings with the Mothers of Invention are from 1969 to 1972. "Finer Moments" is almost the prototype of acclaimed Zappa You Can not Do That On Stage Any More series, on which he published fifteen years later many live recordings. Genius and madness of his early career with the Mothers of Invention Finer Moments experience on another flower.

If that is what this ends up being, I am all for it.
Sounds like it could be part of what was supposed to be The History & Collected Improvisations of the Mothers of Invention

You can pre-order it for £15.72 here http://www.wowhd.co.uk/CD/frank-zappa-f ... 73#bc=96b1 today only.
I also noticed this http://www.wowhd.co.uk/CD/frank-zappa-m ... 21#bc=14af a bargain at £7.22.
There is 15% off everything today with free delivery so if you need any of the reissues this looks like a good place to grab them.

The album is discussed in its own thread:http://www.zappa.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23725
only very few new moments on pornwars deluxe, mostly spoken words material by PMRC-people.

If this album is really kind of blue print of the YCDTOSA-series, then we should expect some overlaps: would be surprised if Mozart piano sonata for instance was a different version than the one on YCDTOSA.

A very cool thing about Amazon is their preorder price guarantee, so I didn't sweat it and just hit the button.

Of course/fair comment; my post was more to be informative in relation to the recent WowHD (seemingly great price) exposure.

I preordered this with Lather (no umlaut on the cell phone) - at the current prices it's a nobrainer. If they issue the eightsided vinyl album I will give the CD of L to my brother 8)
