The (old) Frank Zappa Traders' Network

Having troubles finding someone to trade with? Do your old trading friends' collections get more and more identical to yours? Does it seem everyone is either a total newbie or has a complete collection? This is the place where you find new trading contacts. Look through the list of traders below and start mailing out trade proposals to the people who seem to be suitable trading partners. And why not submit your own entry and wait for the trade proposals to start coming?

To submit, simply send me a mail with your name, a valid email address and the text you want included. It's a good thing to include an URL to a page where you have your trade list.

This page has not been updated from a (long) while. So if you wish to be removed from this list or change anything in your entry, again, send me a mail.

Hi everyone, my name is Craig Jones from Melbourne, Australia. I've been collecting FZ for quite a while now, & am interested in meeting some new trade contacts. I'm into trading audio tapes/CDRs, video (VHS PAL or NTSC system), vinyl (both official & pre-1981 boots) & any memorabilia like books, magazines, posters, promo items - you name it & I'm probably interested in getting it! I have 450+ audio tapes & 130 videos of FZ & related material plus a largish collection of vinyl, magazines & paper goods. For more info, please contact me at good_king_zog@msn.com.au or snail mail me at:

Looking for good quality live FZ shows from '73 to '77. I have a decent selection of good quality soundboards and audience tapes with an emphasis on 1974. Send over your list, and you'll get mine. Also have lots of other good sounding stuff, ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Fusion and Progressive Rock stuff. Looking especially for recordings of the original line-up of Bill Bruford's Earthworks. (I also have a small home studio and have had a good degree of success in 'cleaning up' live shows...)

I am an FZ trader in Germany and have more than 1000 hours of Zappa shows to offer. CDR trading preferred. Please send me your list if you want to set up a trade. You'll find my trade - and my want list here.
Most of the shows are already rated to give you an impression about the sound quality; all shows are available on CDR. Music is the best!

Looking to build your collection of Zappa audio and video? Look no further! I offer hundreds of recordings at a fair one-to-one swap for shows that I need. Don't have any shows to trade me? Fear not... I offer a fair way to expand your collection anyway! No, I don't sell anything - this is NOT for profit - just for mutual auditory bemusement.

My name is Mike Flannigan. I have some Zappa tapes and want more but don't know how to begin so I'll just start. Don't have a website or a list yet, but will generate; in the meantime, anyone can e mail at mikef@attinet.com. Have probably 100 or so that are worth trading.
The first thing I'm looking for are Philadelphia 88, the nite Approximate was danced; I was the first one Frank invited on stage - I would love to have audio and/or video of that. There seems to be a discrepancy on some of the lists about which nite that was.
ok, i'll start a list and a webpage of my stuff.

Hey, everyone! I've been trading now for about four years, but have been idle recently due to busy real life and the mp3 boom. I'm always looking to add to my FZ collection, and will also trade FZ for Neil Young, The Who, or others. But no Phish. ^_^ Email me and we'll talk! Note: I have no burner, but hope to change that fact soon.

Hi there,
I have the 12 album silver edition of boots (#24). I am just putting out some feelers but I would like to get an idea what this set is worth. It is in mint condition for all 12 albums including the book. If anyone wanted to provide a reasonable price I would be willing to consider it. I have not done the e-bay route for the moment. I also have 80+ shows from 1988, lots more tapes and lots of video that I will trade for. Lots more boots that I may be forced to sell too. Let me know if you are looking for something specific

I'm looking for some 88er Concerts and good stuff from 73 to 79. I'm collecting Coverversions and Concerts of Coverbands too. If time allows I'm interested in other FZ or CB areas. Trading with MP3 CDR's preferred but CDR's or tapes are possible also.
Tradelist
On some items I was already working on right now and some concerts are in the queue. They are not in the list now so you have to ask if I'm interested in items you have to offer.
