markcawthra Only had this on the tape you gave me years ago. Played it to Gyp a couple of times and he proper loved it. Said you must be a clever bastard. Sounds even better here tho.. Still have no idea how you did it on a 4 track, but then I no idea how Zappa did it either. Favorite track: Cruising For Burgers.

Michael Kunkel Yeah! Jon, you gave me a lot of fun (not only with the lifesigns concert 2019 in Rüsselsheim) - this Zappa collection is really fun to listen and it shows what a great musician you are. And thanks for the interview with Markus Reuter ...
Favorite track: The Idiot Bastard Son.

about

These recordings were recorded by Random Jon Poole in the first half of 1994 following the devastating news of Frank Zappa's passing. A grieving 24 year old Jon Poole wanted to pay tribute to the great man and his music and set about making recordings that he hoped may introduce a new audience to Frank's music. He decided on covering the early years of Zappa's career for no other reason than this is the era of Franks material that Jon had most recently discovered the joys of before hearing of Zappa's passing. He'd already been a fan of Frank's output from '74 onwards for a good 9 years. He set about recording these tributes in the most primitive manner, on a Fostex 4-track cassette machine in his old teenage bedroom in his parent's house. Despite the primitive recording facilities used, this album has a surprisingly large amount of clarity and sparkle and picked up good reviews on its release some years back - yes, these recordings did make it out as an independent release for a short period of time but have long been lost until now. Due to popular demand here it is in downloadable form. NOTE: This is only available as a download and there are no plans to make this available as a physical CD.
