FRANK ZAPPA IN THE MAGAZINES

Thanks to slime.oofytv.set, I can show you another fabulous bunch of magazine covers.
They've already been blended in the United Mutations archive files, so now I can show them in this blog.

From the mid-sixties to a couple of months ago, and written by some familiar names. There's Norbert Obermanns, and Urban Gwerder...
