FRANK ZAPPA RADIO SHOW ALBUMS

Unofficial and unauthorised but does that mean that they're illegal ?
I have to admit that I buy one every once in a while.
But only when I happen to come across one :-)
And, no, as a matter of fact, I didn't bring these home from Zappanale. These can be found in a lot of major internet shops.
Here are some 'recent' radio show releases.
BTW, it's funny how all of these albums mention FM radio broadcasts as a source. For some of these, it's true, but very often it is not. And they never use the original recordings but almost always the recordings that are up (and available for free) at the Zappateers website.
