Beat The Boots III

Mike Espinoza (alt.fan.frank-zappa, May 22, 2009)

Using various methods, I believe that I have identified all but one of
the tracks.  I could not identify the source for "Watts" on Disc
Five.  I originally thought it was from 1974 because of George's
unmistakable piano, but I don't hear Ruth and the drums could be
either Terry or Chester, so it's either from '74 or '75.

I have included my findings below.  Feel free to error check it.

I can't access the sample at the moment, but I'm going to guess from the title, length and description that this is the "Trouble Every Day" solo from Goteborg, 9/25/74, which FZ apparently considered releasing.

> 18. Truck Driver Divorce - Studio outtake, appeared on Randomonium

I think this is actually a live recording without the studio- rerecorded vocal and drums heard on Them Or Us.

I just heard the sample and yes, that's what "Watts" is.

"[Munchkin] Tits" on the Zut Alors lp in the 10-record Mystery Box bootleg
is the same solo.
