Michael in Philly (January 8, 2012)

All the tracks are the same lengths as the official release, so there's no special edits or anything on it. Just unique artwork. The disc itself is a CDR, but the top side with the FZ mustache was printed on the disc (not from a home printer.)

Information and scans: Michael in Philly

disc 2

12. Flower Punk

The My Sharona Riff

Arthur Barrow, alt.fan.frank-zappa, November 13, 2004 (quoting his own letter to Barry Miles)

Every note that I played for Zappa in the studio was approved by or dictated by him. It was his idea to insert the Sharona riff. It happened to be a little ongoing joke at the time because I was a friend of the Knack's drummer, Bruce Gary. Frank had fun inserting that riff in several of his arrangements.

disc 3

1. How Did That Get In Here?

Liner notes:

Recorded on Sunday, 13 February 1967 at Capitol (Original multi-track masters are currently not in evidence.) This is an FZ construction. Small excerpts from this material appear in FZ's Masterwork, Lumpy Gravy. Source: 1/4″ stereo mixdown.

Session sheets researched by Greg Russo

02/13/67 (8:30-11:30PM) Capitol Studios, Hollywood - Sunday (master # 57133)
MUSICIANS: FZ, Esther Roth (OM [=Operator of Machinery]), John Guerin (drums), James Helms (guitar), Rober West (bass guitar), James Bond (bass), Kenneth Watson (tympani, mallets), Paul Smith (piano), Thomas Poole (percussion)

The name of the only track recorded on February 13, 1967 (which was a Monday, not a Sunday) was "Sunday" on the session sheets. It sounds like there are some more instruments than the ones listed on the sheets, either they were overdubbed on another session or played by musicians not listed on the sheets (maybe because they were not members of the musicians union?).
