+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| Since the untimely death of Frank Zappa in 1993, fans of his music have |
| patiently awaited the release of additional unissued tracks from his |
| huge personal archives in his home studio. Imaginary Diseases features a |
| series of live recordings from a 1972 tour by Zappa's so-called Petite |
| Wazoo band, a ten-piece group that was full of potential but never |
| sufficiently documented on commercial albums during his lifetime. The |
| miniature "Oddients" has an avant-garde flavor with a bit of encourage |
| audience participation in the vocal chants. "Rollo" was often performed |
| as the finale to the suite of songs heard on the first side of the album |
| Apostrophe, though this version omits the vocals heard on some bootleg |
| issues. "Farther Oblivion," a song recorded as a part of that suite, is |
| very different in this conception, including snippets that would later |
| be incorporated into the magnum opus "Gregerry Peccary" and songs like |
| "Bebop Tango" and "Cucamonga," also showcasing Tom Malone's effective |
| tuba. "Been to Kansas City in A Minor" is an extended blues workout with |
| a blistering solo by the leader. "D.C. Boogie" initially has a Middle |
| Eastern flavor, though it gradually shifts into a driving boogie, |
| contrasting Zappa's invigorating fuzz tone with Tony Duran's rocking |
| slide guitar. "Imaginary Diseases" features another blistering Zappa |
| solo, bracketed on each side by a peppy showcase of brass and reeds. |
| Zappa has the only solo in the cooking jam "Montreal." The sound on |
| these 1972 concert recordings is at times a little rawer than typical |
| Zappa live albums of the era. But it seems likely that he worked on them |
| briefly before turning his focus to various other projects, leaving them |
| for Zappa Records "vaultmeister" Joe Travers to uncover and prepare for |
| release. |
