It was never released because of legal problems between Zappa and his management m(herb Cohen). The recording was finally released late last year! It is available now on the Zappa Family Marketing label, Barfko-Swill and the final mixing was done by John French of the Magic Band.<br />Being an ex railroad guy...I was going to tell you what a bat chain was, but you beat me to it!<br /><br />I have a story for you...another Karaoke related shooting in Texas this time...something about Karaoke and guns...a kind of death with for an exhibitionist...here's the link:http://www.wfaa.com/news/texas-news/Man-killed-for-singing-We-are-More-American-at-Houston-karaoke-night-140580163.htmlmicrodothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564820031343630871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-71038408525778656282012-02-28T04:47:41.068+01:002012-02-28T04:47:41.068+01:00Outside of the Zappa catalog I know next to nothin...Outside of the Zappa catalog I know next to nothing about Capt. Beefheart--with one exception. The soundtrack from "The Big Lebowski" includes one of Beefheart's tunes, "Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles".
