Frank Zappa – Fred Zappelin

here is the info file from Dime

I had a copy of this bootleg obtained ages ago from zappateers (the link is below). I last saw a real live stashed behind glass copy of the bootleg in Toronto about 5 years ago going for about $600 Canadian, which, since Canadian money is like pretty Monopoly money, is a really good price. (I keep two Canadian $100 bills in my purse at all times because, you know, I just might need them.) There are black vinyl and green vinyl versions.

I went through the http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/chronology/1976-1980 Zappa site to verify that all the tracks had never been released commercially. Two tracks were released from the 1980-10-30 NYC show (Beat It With Your Fist & Another Variation Of the Formerly Secret) but not the one on this album.
