A FEW OF THE MOST RECENT ITEMS WE WANT...
 | FRANK ZAPPA Zappa '88: The Last US Show (2021 UK/EU
limited edition 180-gram black vinyl 4-LP box set, 30-tracks
of joy from 'The Best Band You Never Heard In Your
Life', recorded at the Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New
York. Mostly unreleased and newly mixed and mastered from
the original multi-track tapes. Featuring the highly
sought-after The Beatles Medley with bawdy lyrics, a
horn-laden cover of I Am The Walrus, and Stairway To
Heaven. Picture box with lift-off lid, hype sticker and factory
sealed. Highly recommended)
Tracklisting: As Travers writes in the liner notes, “Start with the fulcrum of the 1981-1984 touring bands (Robert, Scott & Chad), bring back Ike Willis, add the Synclavier digital workstation, a 5-piece horn section with multi-instrumentalist Mike Keneally and you have what FZ famously described as “The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life.” While saying “never heard” might have been a bit of hyperbole, it wasn’t far off as the short-lived band (four months of rehearsal in 1987/1988, followed by a tour from February through June 1988) only played a few dozen shows on the East Coast and Europe before disbanding. Nonetheless, the shows they did play together were electrifying and a masterclass in musicianship
With Zappa on lead guitar, vocals, and wielding his new obsession the Synclavier, he led the proceedings through a career-spanning set, backed by a stellar cast of veteran band members and newly added members: Mike Keneally (guitar, synth, vocals), Scott Thunes (electric bass, Minimoog), Ike Willis (rhythm guitar, synth, vocals), Chad Wackerman (drums, electronic percussion), Ed Mann (vibes, marimba, electronic percussion), Robert Martin (keyboards, vocals) and the cracking horn section of Walt Fowler (trumpet, flugel horn, synth), Bruce Fowler (trombone), Paul Carman (alto, soprano and baritone sax), Albert Wing (tenor sax) and Kurt McGettrick (baritone and bass sax, contrabass clarinet). The band prepped nearly 100 songs and the sets were wide ranging, spanning tunes from the first Mothers of Invention albums, but with characteristically updated and often times ever-evolving arrangements (“I Ain’t Got No Heart,” “Love Of My Life,” “Who Needs The Peace Corps?”), to new compositions created for the ‘88 tour (“Jesus Thinks You’re A Jerk” and “When The Lie’s So Big”) as well as classical compositions (Bartók, Ravel, Stravinsky) that Zappa liked to play to expose his audiences to music he appreciated. In addition to the inclusion of the 5-piece horn section and it being Keneally’s only tour, the concerts also included extensive use of sampling through the then current machine, the Synclavier, which Zappa took on the road for the first time, as well as percussionists Mann and Wackerman’s use of electronic sounds in their set ups.
Zappa ’88: The Last U.S. Show includes all of this and many more highlights such as fan favorites, “Peaches In Regalia,” “The Black Page” “Inca Roads,” “Sharleena” “Sofa #1” and “Pound For A Brown.” It also includes a horn-laden cover of The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus,” and the first official release of the highly sought after “The Beatles Medley,” which features the band performing the music of The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood,” “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” with the lyrics completely changed to reflect the then-recent sex scandal of televangelist Jimmy Swaggart. The bawdy lyrics poke fun at the hypocritical minister and was part of Zappa’s agenda to demystify televangelists.
Just how Zappa felt it was important to rail against toxically prude self-appointed culture protectors and whatever hypocrisy or hypocrite rankled him that day, he was also a motivator of positive action, passionate about causes, especially voting rights, making it his mission to get his audiences to register to vote. With a presidential election looming, Zappa offered voter registration on the tour, aided by The League of Women Voters. Fans were encouraged to vote before the show or during a special 20-minute intermission in the middle of the two-hour plus concert, which would start with Zappa triggering the Synclavier to play a piece of music. In Uniondale it was “One Man, One Vote.” Notably, the version here is a different mix than the studio version released on Frank Zappa Meets The Mothers Of Prevention. Zappa 88: The Last U.S. Show kicks off with Zappa extolling the importance of voting and encouraging the unregistered to sign up at the show by registering someone live on stage. It was followed by a representative from Governor Mario Cuomo’s office reading a message congratulating “Mr. Zappa for the important work you are doing encouraging your audiences and others to register and vote.”
“Sadly after the European run was over,” as Travers pens in the liners, “Frank Zappa chose to disband the group and cancel the rest of the tour, reportedly forfeiting $400,000.00 in revenue and depriving additional audiences the opportunity to witness how special this group really was. With all of the time and money spent to prepare and promote the tour, not to mention the potential within the talented band and crew, now in 2021, it’s an even more historic loss considering FZ was to never tour again.”
Fortunately, Zappa’s final U.S. show, like so many others of his, was documented and can now be experienced in its glory more than three decades later. |

#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
Tracklisting: Pressing Information
The first cover was printed by Garrod and Lofthouse. The time in between the decision on how the cover should look and the actual manufacturing was probably very short. They had no time to wait for the Patent to be registered so had to put the 'Patent Pending' text next to the name. This can be found on both Mono & Stereo version, this was removed on later pressings.
The labels for the Stereo issue were on blue with silver print, with the unboxed Decca logo, the copyright box is on the left side, Tax Code J/T is above the catalogue number, the publishers 'Mirage Music' is placed below the BIEM/NCB. The catalogue number is in large size font and has a dot in-between the SKL and 4955 and has the matrix code printed upside down above the catalogue number, the record speed is not present.
The machine stamped matrix details are:-
Side 1 - XZAL-8476-4K
Side 2 - XZAL-8477-4K
Condition
The ivory/cream white coloured sleeve displays some minor general wear, with a little light wear to the opening edge.
The labels have a few light spindle marks around the spindle hole to show it has been played.
The vinyl itself remains very good, with some minor surface scuffs and the odd light scratch, which thanks to the 60s vinyl are mostly cosmetic with just a few light pops or clicks, otherwise sounds really nice.
Although not mint, this is still a nice example.
