Phase 315 of WOIIFTM censorship.
|
What was censored or altered on the vinyl and CD versions compared to the 1986 WOIIFTM/LG twofer CD drums & bass remix? (the LP from the Old Masters Box has the same mix!).
If your CD's or vinyl version differs from my findings please mail me the differences at hades@westbrabant.net A. On all vinyl/cd's (except the 1986 remix):
B. Some vinyl is called "heavily censored" because in:
C. Two versions of Hot Poop:
D. Three versions of the Velvet Underground line in "Concentration Moon”:

And this is the censorship on my CD’s and LP’s.

(*) as reported on the alt.fan.frank.zappa newsgroup
(^) All my (European) compilations (except The %$#@ of the mothers) used the
"heavily censored" edits.
Question: Do compilations (Verve MGM Polydor) exist that have "normal censored" edits?
To me it seems that Polydor Europe only had the "heavily censored" version at hand. So they couldn't have issued "normal censored" edits.
The only "normal censored" Europe version I know of is the UK re-issue.
(#) I'm pretty sure all "heavily censored" vinyl versions have the shortened Velvet line
because all my "heavily censored" versions (UK, US and German) have the Velvet Line without the "shitty" thing.
I checked this with several Zappa collectors and they all confirmed this.
Question: Do "heavily censored" versions exist that have the Velvet line completely cut?
Question: Why did the WOIIFTM/Lumpy Gravy 1985 CD have the Hot Poop version with the backwards Mother People verse while it was not cencored on the CD?
