aka - The Muffin Man Goes To College

Very Good to excellent Audience Recording @320

OK folks, first and foremost the audio source for this double CD set is an audience recorded bootleg which I would generously rate as VG for bootleg quality. That would translate to 6 on a scale of 10. It has all the drawbacks of that medium-, not much sonic depth, negligible bass/bottom, lots of midrange and not much treble. Sounds like it was recorded directly in front of the PA speakers-it has that boxy quality. Also there is a definite splice around the 45 minute mark-occurs during a bass solo-which,I suppose,would make the original source some sort of cassette tho no hiss is apparent. Occasionally there's a bit of side conversation you pick up but it's not that intrusive. That's the downside. Here's the good stuff. It contains the full concert (@ 2hrs) on 2 CDs, the band is tight, the performances are excellent and Frank's guitar solos are stellar. The vocals are loud and clear and the instruments are defined quite well, from the trombone to the finger cymbals. There is an unreleased tune/skit called "Velvet Sunrise" and a very early version of "The Torture Never Stops"(done as a fast blues) which FZ introduces under it's original title, "Why doesn't somebody get him a Pepsi?"It is sung by Captain Beefheart. Speaking of the good Captain,he's a bit under represented during this show. He plays some atonal sax during the intro, some minor backing harmonica on two tracks, does great harp solos on "Penguin In Bondage" and "Advance Romance", recites his poem "Sam With The Showing Scalp Flat Top" and sings lead on the forementioned "Torture", "Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead" and "Willie The Pimp".Frank introduces him "on sax and forgetfulness" and dubs him Captain Report Card for the evening.It was a college venue show.It's a great set with lots of spotlighting band members,giving them time to shine.Grab this while you can because it is a bootleg manufactured in Europe and probably ILLEGAL (due to copyright violations). I surmize this can only exist because the Zappa Family Trust hasn't gotten a "cease and desist" order against it yet.One can only hope that ZFT will issue an authorized version of a recording from this tour because there was so much more than was issued on the "Bongo Fury" LP. Sound quality = 6. Performance = 10.BTW if your amp has simulated "live" surround settings the audio on these CDs improves quite a bit. I use the "Club" setting and it really sounds much better.

Pepe Deluxe - Beatitude 2003 {Out of Print}

Pepe Deluxe - Beatitude (2003)

Studio recordings @ VBR

{Out of Print}

The Finnish boys' sophomore effort is christened with samples about "cutting" and wicky-wicky, Blaxploitation-style guitars. Another downtempo hip-hop production to throw into the pile? Nope. Beatitude goes all over the map: surf guitar, wah-wah guitar, acoustic guitar, all coming together to make it, well, pretty guitar-heavy compared to their debut, Super Sound. Pepe Deluxe collaborates with nearly 40 other musicians here, flipping soul samples over a nice Bollywood-esqe creation, tinged with some acidy synth ("Girl"). Later they reach into commercial territory on "Ask for a Kiss," which sounds readymade for a Gap commercial. Styles pile alongside each other, and Beatitude kind of comes off as a hodgepodge. But despite the absence of a conceptual framework, the unfocused sprawl is part of the appeal. It's not Endtroducing or Deadringer, but some kind of martini-swilling, music-buff relative of those - one that wants to make you dance and then have sex with you. No problem then.

Tracks 18 & 25 * are two pretty long sections of enthusiastic crowd noise. I left them so you get the whole concert exactly as it has been recorded. For your listening pleasure, you may want to burn a CD without these two tracks.

Tracks 11 & 12 ** (fade-out & fade-in) were added to make a more pleasurable listening experience at the end of the first CD and at the start of the second one. When listening on a computer or any media that can accomodate more than 75 minutes of music, you can simply leave these two tracks out, so you get the whole concert in one go.

Thanks to Dime and the people that share!

The LeRoi Brothers - Open All Night (1986)

 Studio Recordings @ 192

{Out of Print}

It goes without saying that no one in Austin, Texas' LeRoi Brothers is named LeRoi. Debuting on the unpretentious Check This Action as a trio (singer/guitarists Steve Doerr and Don Leady and drummer Mike Buck) plus a guest bassist, the LeRois set to rocking without ado, reeling off energetically unreconstructed rock'n'roll / R&B covers (plus a few originals that don't slow down the party one bit) in an unmistakable Southwestern accent. Evan Johns replaced guitarist Don Leady (who went on to form the Tail Gators), Lucky Lucky Me is a full menu of high-energy tunes played for keeps. "Fight Fire With Fire," the zydeco-tinged "The Back Door" and a quick history lesson, "Elvis in the Army," are among the highlights.
