THE FRANK ZAPPA CD-BOOTLEG COMPENDIUM

Burkhard Schempp and Robert Gsteu list every known Frank Zappa bootleg in their "The Frank Zappa CD-Bootleg Compendium".
For practical reasons, the content had to be divided into three books.
All the bootlegs, all the tracks, covers, back-covers, labels,...  You name it, it's all in there.
Book 3 even prints the liner notes to some of the albums and boxes, plus a bootleg label index, and even a show index.

I've been browsing through these a lot the last couple of days. Impressive and very nicely designed.
The books even had me dig up some these boots...

This luxurious edition was limited to 50 copies.
A more standard version is in preparation and it should fit in one book. It should be available later this year.
