I thought all was lost from Studio Z except the sex tapes he got busted for.Was this actually recorded at Studio Z? If not,where then,if you know? It's so cool to learn or find something new about FZ,it's right up there with flagrant sex!
The official blurb is ..."Rhino is proud to announce its acquisition of the Del-Fi catalog. Prior to his celebrated decades as the ringleader of the Mothers of Invention, legendary composer, performer, and experimental rock pioneer Frank Zappa began his career making musical mayhem in his own Cucamonga, California, recording studio. In 1963 Zappa showed up on the doorstep of L.A.-based Del-Fi Records with a heap of doo-wop, novelty, East L.A. R&B and surf sides, all produced, written, and performed by him and his proteges. Named for Zappa's studio, this disc celebrates the artist's "Wild Years," 1963-1964, with a collection of rarities that hint at his inimitable genuis-in-the-making."
Short version = It's not a bootleg. It's good quality. And...there are two versions from which to choose, so be careful.
The Del-Fi release has 14 songs. The Rhino re-release has 17 songs.
It shouldn't be too hard to find if you do a web search. I notice that Amazon.com has outside sellers offering it. Around $10 used, or starting at $21 for new/sealed.
