IMHO, it's time for some newer music again...
It would be great for the folks that weren't born in the 50's, to see some 81/82/84 or even 88' material released.
The old stuff is important historically, but otherwise not a valuable addition to my collection. I will listen to it once and put it away. I want to get music that I will listen to all the time, i.e. Passaic 78' is so great, I enjoyed it at least 10 times by now. That's what I'm talking about.
cheers

I want it all released. This sounds like an excellent choice - something else put together by FZ. There is lots of stuff in the vault I assume but there has to be a limited amount of stuff put together by FZ - I hope all of that comes out - along with at least one road tape of each tour (in the case of 88 - since there was material galore - maybe enough for 3 or 4 shows - at least that many.
This release looks like something along the lines of Weasels Ripped My Flesh which is a very good thing.
I want it ALL!

I want MOI material. I enjoy it and I will listen to it regoularely, in fact, much more than a 1988 show

Just did a quick bit of Googling, and found samples for the second disc on a German site:
http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Frank-Zappa-Finer-Moments/hnum/1896231
The Big Squeeze seems to be the same as the Lost Episodes, and the sample of Squeeze It matches the Mystery Disc version - no surprises there.
I found a match for There Is No Heaven From Where Slogans Go To Die. It appears to be the same as You Call That Music? on YCDTOSA vol. 4. That track is 4:07, and the version on the Artisan acetate, titled 'East L.A.', is 4:59; the Finer Moments version is listed as 4:37, which splits the difference.
The sample for The Subcutaneous Peril is, indeed, the Pound for a Brown solo from Carnegie Hall, which was to have been released under the same title on the second disc of JABFLA. Except that can't possibly be all of it, because the Finer Moments track is 19:41, while the purported JABFLA track, which comprises the whole solo, clocks in at 5:15. So that's a mystery. Maybe it's a collage of different improvisations?
As for the rest of it: fucked if I know. The sample for Enigmas 1 Thru 5 is all percussion. I'd guess that it's studio, rather than live. The sample for Pumped and Waxed is mostly electronic tones, with those telephone-button harmonies Frank loved, along with some pizzicato guitar.

I just checked, but that version only has a solo from Frank. Ian either didn't solo or got edited out.

Yes, I had thought this morning that it was an FZ solo in that sample, but listening now it sounds like Ian's sax solo.

IMHO the 80s was a terrible time for Frank's rockin-combo recordings ersatz jazz played by session musos with some infantile sex lyrics and dubious politics... his guitar playing disappearing up his own arse with effects... his classical work was much more rewarding however... it would have been interesting to see what he would have done post 80's....
HOWEVER I do agree that you guys who like the 80's stuff should be served by the PROGRAM.

The thing is, almost the entire YCDTOSA series is the 84 band only.

Yeah I was just exaggerating. But Volume 3 and 4 is full of the 84 band, makes me sick!  I don't think we need anything else from this band.

Only further release I wouldn't mind from the 1984 tour would be a version of The Evil Prince sung by Napoleon from the beginning of the tour (if such recording exists in vault)
Would love to hear further material from Hammersmith Odeon 1979 and Halloween 1977 though.
