I was on the video crew for this shoot. It was a great day. Frank was polite and gracious. At one point, Molly Ringwald stopped by- she was dating Dweezil at the time.

Frank was in a noticeably better mood doing the live portion of this episode than the pre-taped segment -- probably because he was talking about his own music there and not somebody else's that he couldn't have cared less about. He was smarmy and obnoxious during the pre-taping and clearly went off-script to make some very inane comments. If you shot both portions, you probably noticed it too. Coincidentally, Dweezil hosted an episode a year and a half later when Mark Goodman was out (and after Martha had just gotten pink-slipped).

I was gonna say Zappa seems on good behavior here. Probably the most polite I've ever seen him in an interview. I love Zappa (I mean I've listened to Thing Fish all the way through...more than once!) but...in many interview clips he really comes off as a snarky, to-cool-for-you jerk.

Rule no. 1 whenever you interview Frank Zappa. Never finish with John Lennon. Especially mentioning Zappa and Lennon in New York. This is a sore point for Frank. Jam Rag and Kink Kong is the clue.

In the video Martha credits Frank with the first double-record album in rock. That could be what you're referring to.

@williamfarr8807

Жыл бұрын

Although "Freak Out" and "Blonde on Blonde" are both seminal recordings from 1966, I never really understood what all the fuss about the first two album sets "in rock" was about? Double discs and box sets were very common way back in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, particularly in opera and classical recordings, but also in jazz and popular music.

I want to hear those 79-80 tour tapes he pointed out! ALL OF THEM

That's the only video I remember seeing Frank holding and handling some of his own records.

Donald Fagan recorded a digitally produced album in 1982, The Nightfly

I bought the three editions of The Old Masters way back when they were first released. The first set came with a bonus T-Shirt reading I Bought The Box, which is a kind of cool double-entendre. The boxes are numbered, and I have heard that the first 100 boxes of each set were reserved for friends of Frank, and so starting with number 101, my first box is numbered 441 (or 341, when discounting the first 100), the second is 171 (or 71) and the third is 119 (or 19) Arf Arf! I think they cost $100 each and possibly shipping. By the way, they are better than the botched CDs.

Frank was singularly unimpressed with John & Yoko.

They stole a song from him. The Beatles may have been more popular but no where near as creative, especially lyrically. Zappa and Morrison were the two best song writers of the era and ever for that matter

"Freak Out!" wasn't the first double album. Dylan's "Blonde on blonde" was. It came out on June 20, 1966. "Freak Out!" was released a week later, on June 27.

To be more accurate, Blonde on Blonde was released May 16, 1966. However, Freak Out was certainly the first debut album by any rock band to be a double album. So there's that for an accolade.
