Looks like a great release. In New York is one of my favorites. Having disc one in the original format (post Punky’s deletion, that is) then all the extras should be a real fun listen.

Looks great , if a bit pricey .

While that's not too surprising, there was this on the official FZ Facebook & Instagram pages yesterday:

"78 is a special number. 'Zappa In New York' was released in 1978 and today would have been FZ’s 78th birthday!
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the release of "Zappa In New York," we have something special planned for you that we will announce for pre-order in the New Year.
Additionally, tickets for The Bizarre World Of Frank Zappa will go on sale in January!
HAPPY 78TH BIRTHDAY, FRANK!"

The 5CD set is available in limited quantity’s and will come packaged in an embossed tin box (18cm x 2.5cm) that resembles a New York City manhole cover and contains a 60 page book.

Recorded live in New York City at the end of 1976. Heavy on, well, “freewheeling” lyrical content, with “Titties & Beer” and “The Illinois Enema Bandit” (the latter featuring “sophisticated narration” by Don Pardo) being special favorites with young males of a certain age. Also here is the song that gets most peoples’ vote for the best title ever to grace a Zappa instrumental, “I Promise Not to Come In Your Mouth.”

When Zappa first released this album in ’78, Warner Brothers was especially nervous about a little tune called “Punky’s Whips.” The tune concerned drummer Terry Bozzio’s lurid sexual fantasies about one Punky Meadows, guitarist for the band Angel. Since Angel was then regarded as an important player in the music industry (yeah, right), Warners sat on the album for a long while and then deleted the track altogether. With this CD reissue “Punky’s Whips” is back in all its glory, along with four other songs not on the original vinyl.

It's a real shame Punky didn't come out on the original album. It bothers me that there was a time when this album was available without Punky's Whips on it. That song was the best thing that ever happened to Angel. There are people who own an Angel album just because of PW. Not me, of course.

isn't that it there beside your copy of Good Singin', Good Playin'?

Yeah, this is going to be tough to stretch my budget to. Unless there are songs from around those years not on any of my concert (official) CDs, I really do not need all 5. I am still going through the Roxy discs one by one.

i have a feeling that the price will go down a lot when they put it up on zappa store

Ha!
And Frampton Comes Alive.

ha ha, right on!

Way back in my e bay addiction days I ordered a Weasels Ripped My Flesh LP (with the doll in the mouse trap cover) from a very nice man in Germany, and he used a copy of Good Singin', Good Playin' and around fifty newspaper articles about FZ as packing!

To date still my only Grand Funk Railroad album

PS and of course, as some of us do, I have a photo of Punky Meadows with a beautiful shiny hairdo in a semi-profile which emphasizes the pootched out succulence of his insolent, pouting, rictus.....

I wonder how many Zappa fans have that Shaggs album in their collection?

guilty

If anyone else finds another outlet selling this album, please post. They want $36 just to ship the cds, then if I add the vinyl its over $55 in shipping. No thanx.

Don't Be Stupid Unless You Want To

it should be for preorder on here soon
im guessing itll be around 60 to 79 bucks

I have Shaggy Hot Shots, that's a go to party album...

The Shaggs were three teenage sisters that made an album in the late ‘60’s called “Philosophy of the World”. They couldn’t really play their instruments but there was a certain amateurish charm about them. Zappa claimed to love the album and said that they were better than The Beatles.
