Zappa Records To Release Frank Zappa Audio Documentary 'Lumpy Money,'
A 3-Cd Set Marking The 40th Anniversary Of 'Lumpy Gravy' And 'We're
Only In It For The Money,' On Nov. 25

Original Masters Included Feature Original Zappa Orchestral Version Of
'Lumpy Gravy' (Unreleased) And Original Mono Mix Of 'We're Only In It
For The Money'


Zappa Records has announced the November 25 release of the three-CD
Frank Zappa Audio-documentary set 'Lumpy Money' continuing the Zappa
Family Trust's mission to celebrate and protect the legacy of Frank
Zappa. The release spotlights the fortieth anniversary of these
albums, which Zappa considered to be his solo debuts both as artist
and as record producer. Both are celebrated for Zappa's mastery of
razor blade editing, techniques not normally exhibited in such a
manner in either of the worlds of classical music or rock.

Also known to quite a few as Phase One and Phase Two, the two featured
albums in Lumpy Money are represented here in two separate Frank Zappa
mixes each. The project is devoted to various mixes, outtakes &
materials dating from the original sessions & time period for both
recordings.

The Audio-documentary adds the first official release of the Frank
Zappa-edited, wholly instrumental, orchestral master of 'Lumpy Gravy'
recorded at Capitol Studios in 1967 and originally slated for release
on Capitol Records. (Zappa subsequently completely reworked the album,
concurrent with 'We're Only In It For The Money,' editing it into the
version recognized as an historic classic, released on MGM/Verve in
1968.)

Called "quite probably his greatest achievement" by All Music Guide,
'We're Only In It For The Money' was named among the top 100 greatest
albums of all time by Rolling Stone and was one of 50 recordings
chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National
Recording Registry.

Liner notes will be written by Rolling Stone veteran and rock
historian David Fricke.

Gail Zappa says, "Lumpy Gravy remains my personal favorite album and I
know it was certainly right up there on Frank's list."

Official Biography: Frank Zappa, American composer, fl. 1940 - 1993.

That is certainly true. FZ repeatedly mentioned Lumpy Gravy as his
favorite or one of his favorites of his own albums.

What do you Lumpy Gravy fans think of Negativland's `a big 10-8 place`
or `deathsentences of the polished and structurally weak`?

Back in the late 80's/early 90's I had a couple of Negativland discs I
liked (s/t debut and Escape From Noise) but never got around to
hearing Big 10-8 Place.

I love the packaging and concept far more than the music contained
therein.

Punished in a Frank Zappa newsgroup for having too many Apostrophe's?
Something about that just doesn't sound right.

I am sorry, my hobby got out of hand, but I am still looking for the
versions from Taiwan, Urugay, Brazil, Sweden (!!only the cover was made
there). I don't think that I am dangerous....

"A Big 10-8 Place" is a very fine album, though I think "Escape From
Noise" is their masterpiece, or very near it. "Deathsentences" was
mostly just a bore for me. Not a very interesting piece.
