"THE ZAPPA PROJECT/OBJECT OF YOUR DREAMS"

Here's another message from Gail Zappa on the subject of the Roxy soundtrack and the Roxy DVD.

You might or might not know that Zappa played three concerts at The Roxy (Hollywood, CA) in December 1973. Recordings of these concerts eventually found their way to Zappa's "Roxy & Elsewhere" album.

Parts of these concerts were also shot on video, and that's what this is all about: The Roxy DVD.

The Zappa Family Trust has worked out some sort of deal to release the Roxy soundtrack and the Roxy DVD. Anyone can get a license and become a distributor, but you do have to pay an advance of 1,000 US dollar.

So what's the good news?

Well, I'm convinced that there will be people interested in this license, so things should get moving.

In her most recent letter, Gail says that the soundtrack should be out this year, and that there are other releases scheduled as well.

***************************************

Dear Residents of Earth who are interested in anything & everything concerning the Roxy Performances & the Roxy By Proxy,

Mercury ceases its retrograde activities tomorrow.*  We've been busy refining the License.  Based on your questions we are clarifying the offer to absolutely include people who are not necessarily U.S. residents.  We are extending the offer to the 21st of June - the Summer Solstice!  But most importantly we are pleased to announce we are going FORWARD.  This means we can give you an actual ship date.  And it is:  Not later than 30 July 2013.  YAY!

One more time for the world - we here at Zappa Records are looking for a few good men and women to sign up as Official Independent Distributors of a never-heretofore-released, thoroughly Authentic Zappa Master Recording.  And this is not just any thoroughly authentic Zappa Master Recording either.  No, this is the one many of you have been beyond craving.  Please sit down to read this part:  This is the Roxy - the Soundtrack - yes, it is the introductory Soundtrack, the Prequel if you will - the Project/Object of your Dreams.  76 unadulterated minutes of fabulous frenzy await you.  And the opportunity of a life-time:  Roxy By Proxy! Should it be determined that you become an Officially Licensed Authorized Zappa RBP Distributor, you can make as many copies of the record as you can possibly distribute - AND except for reporting to us your sales & customers (just like any other recor d distributor) and paying us the publishing, YOU keep the money. AND you get to collect royalties from what is sold at Barfko-Swill AND you will also be entitled to a special wholesale price available to the OLAZRBPDs (Officially Licensed Authorized Zappa ROXY BY PROXY Distributor) exclusively.

Other good news in the Elsewheres, this will now most likely be official release number 98 or 99.  Yes.  From this you can deduce that there are other Somethings in the more or less immediate future.   (Thanks in advance for your participation in assisting us with getting the Roxy Performances out there in a theatre near you.)

So here's the deal go to: getsome.zappa.com for all the updated information and the ACTUAL LICENSE.

Many thanks and good will to all.
