I would recommend the Carl Stalling CD for all of you folks who LOVE
Bugs Bunny and Humorous Music(there is humour in music..). Like Zappa,
Stalling reconditions and extends upon his influences (with an appreciable
nod to composer Raymond Scott) and creates a wonderful atmosphere which
is (not necessarily) tied to Warner Bros. animations. There is obviously
much more Stalling out there -70+ minutes hardly touches on what must
be hundreds of hours of Background music. I like to listen to the Stalling
cd for the audio hints of action..it's amazing(if you watch as much Merrie
Melodies 'toons with as much (ummm) enthusiasm as I do. Cartoon music 
is out there(mainly on vinyl) and I had several albums of this stuff
(Woody Woodpecker, ROcky and Bullwinkle(Jay Ward had a great little band
doing the music for his cartoons), Popeye and Hanna-Barbara all had
albums pressed with great doses of music) way back in the sixties-
needless to say,these influenced me greatly (the music and the cartoons)
and probably paved the way for me to enjoy "Gregory Peccary" "Billy the
Mountain"" Brown Shoes don't make it" "The Blue Light" and other Zappa
operetta's (Joe's Garage!). If you can find Raymond Scott recordings
you would be amused at the similarities between Scott and Stalling-

Meanwhile, didn't Frank use "Cartoon Noises" during the '88 tour. I hear
Sam Kinison,bleats, moos,and that hurried/running noise (you know when
Quickdraw needed to Skeedaddle) all over the various recordings. I wouldn't
want to quiz Zappa on what the Samples were..it's apparent he has GIGABYTES
of them.

Thanx for your response. It's a studio recording & and I think quite a good 
one. I only know 'Absolutely Free' & 'Freak out!' from CD & it's very well 
possible that this CD contains 'stolen material' from these CD-versions. I 
can't hear any difference.
But the strangest thing is, to me, that most bootlegs are quite expensive, 
and this CD cost only 18 guilders (I guess about 10-12 dollars).

   Good sound quality is great, but CONTENT is much more important. I

Indeed - my original mail only concerned the WOIIFTM tracks on Mothermania.
Certainly all the Freak Out tracks included in Mothermania are remixed while
the Absolutely Free tracks sound identical xecept for the hard edit in the
middle of Call Any Vegetable.

I'd never bothered with the other MGM/Verve compilations and would certainly
be interested to know definitive news of other variations.

I only know the CD version. I would like to know, in detail if possible, WHAT
was removed from the original? What was changed? And I would like to know,
why everyone thinks the CD version sounds bad compared to the original. It
would be logical to think that drums & bass sound better...

To be honest, the early MOI don't play too good. And the recording technology
of 60's is nothing worth of conserving. Would you listen to, say, Beethoven's
5th recorded in 30's? There's nothing wrong to rerecord the music, if you do it
with good taste. (In general FZ has good taste.)

The sound quality is, whether we like it or not, one of the most important
things when listening to music. That's why I like 'Jazz From Hell' so much...
Everything must be as clear as possible. Everything must be close to perfect.

Dunno.  If you want a coincidence, notice that the critical date when the
Incarnation of Good is replaced is 2002 AD, exactly half of the (traditional)

It could be a return to a theme that PA had used in some of his earlier
books where, magic occuring in the present can have effect in the past. 
These ideas appeared in S of M and CR: Bink's magic affecting the source
of magic, and whether Dor changed history or simply replayed someone
else's part.

Does it appear to anyone else that PA is creating a lot of new characters,
so late in the series.  If he plans to do things with all of them won't he
need more than three more books.  Might he be planning to continue past
18.  It's just an idea...
