Phase 315 of WOIIFTM censorship.
|
What was censored, altered or just different (text/music) on the vinyl and CD versions compared to the 1986 WOIIFTM/LG twofer CD drums & bass remix? (the LP from the Old Masters Box and Lumpy Money CD2 have the same 1986 remix!).
If your CD's or vinyl versions differ from my findings please mail me the differences at
hades at 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 (side 1):
D. Three versions of the Velvet Underground line in "Concentration Moon” (side 1):
Lonely little girl: I noticed that on the 1986 remix just before
"All your children are poor unfortunate victims" I hear a extra
"You're lonely". Take your clothes of when you dance: After the line "Wah wah wah wah" on
the 1986 remix there are two lines of "la la la la la ..."
etc. On the Ryko CD and my LP's instead of the 2nd "la la la ..." line there is a
guitar riff. You can also hear this on the Lumpy Money CD 1 and 2. |
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. (#) I'm pretty sure all "heavily censored" vinyl versions have the shortened Velvet line 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? Question: If Frank did the original censoring himself and completely cut the Velvet line on the original mastertapes (mono and stereo), where did the Velvet line come from on the heavily censored (for example UK mono and German stereo) and the Candadian version?
