Description
FRANK ZAPPA / THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION "The String Quartet"
A true collector's item:
recorded live at California State College, Fullerton, 08-Nov-1968
Musicians: Frank Zappa, Jimmy Carl Black, Bunk Gardner, Don Preston, Jim Sherwood, Roy Estrada, Arthur Dyer Tripp III and special guests Larry "Wild Man" Fischer and Don Cherry (?)
Track 1 is a spoken intro: Zappa tells the audience not to trip on the wires lest their "feet light up". Track 3 consists of silence, soundcheck and an introduction of the next track. Tracks 4-5 are listed as parts of "The String Quartet", an early number that was later split up into the two individual pieces. Tracks 6-7 are solo performances from Wild Man Fischer ("I'm the Meany" is about the Beatles). Track 8 is just a tiny bit of "Valarie". A better "Valarie" can be found on The Ark, also in Beat the Boots.
In the late 80s, one of the old Mothers tried to sell the tape of this show to collectors and/or bootleggers for a "fantasy price" so high that nobody was interested. Soon afterwards, that tape was rendered worthless when an identical tape leaked out from somewhere else and someone made this bootleg from it.
