RICK LABAN IS RELEASING ZAPPA MUSIC ON BANDCAMP

Rick Laban is releasing more Zappa music on Bandcamp.
No cover versions, renditions or re-arrangements, but collages of different versions (performed by FZ & The Mothers Of Invention).

Last week, he released live recordings of the tracks that can be found on the "Fillmore East" album.
This latest release now offers sort of collages of a lot of other tunes.

As he explains it:

Each track in this collection features a Zappa song starting with its beginnings from inception to its most developed and altered performance states--In one track!

Starting with either a demo or the original album version, then neatly spliced to an early live rendition and then to a later band version and in some cases even a later cover version. I picked the songs that had the most interesting developmental changes of arrangement over time.

Each track takes you on a journey thru different bands, and arrangement concepts. It will take multiple listens to discern all the fascinating arrangement developments that occurred over time, and through different band members.
