Notes

From early in 1969 to 1977 Reprise Records (and their parent label Warner Bros. Records) ran a USA & Canada only mail-order promotion on a number of the inner sleeves of their mainstream artist's releases. This was to promote a wide range of less popular artists on compilation albums known as the 'Loss Leader' PRO series, sold at a significantly reduced mail-order price. The black & white cover of this PRO 368 release is a collage of Zappa & Straight artists and the title is "Zappéd" with an accent over the 'e' (unlike a previous [url=/release/1827704]similar PRO 368 release[/url] with a Zappa photo cover & 'Bizarre' label). This record's label is Reprise Records. Track titles are also different to the earlier release, which did not have the Straight singles. Issues did occasionally appear later in retail outlets, particularly later in Australia. Track sources on this compilation: A1 & A6: From the 1969 Straight label album "Pretties For You" (STS 1051). A6 also released as a single b/w "Living" (ST 101). A2 & B2: From the 1969 Straight label double album "Trout Mask Replica" (2-STS 1053). A3: From the 1969 Straight label album "Farewell Aldebaran" (STS 1052). Also released as a single b/w "Snowblind"(ST 102). A4: From the 1969 Straight label album "Blue Afternoon" (STS 1060). A5: From the Bizarre/Reprise album "An Evening with Wild Man Fischer" (RS 6332 & 2XS 6332). A7: From the 1969 Straight label album "Penrod" (STS 1058). A8: From the 1969 Straight label album "A Most Immaculately Hip Aristocrat" (STS 1054). B1: From the 1969 Straight label album "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up" (STS 1057). Recorded at Whitney Studios, Glendale 1969. Zappa performed on this & produced under the pseudonym LaMarr Bruister. Not the Zappa version on Joe's Garage Act I. (1979). B3: From the 1969 Bizarre/Reprise label album "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" (RS 6370). B4: From the 1969 Straight label album "Permanent Damage" (STS 1059).
