JustDave's Notes:
Cover Art downloaded from Discogs, my scanner is too small for album art

Compilation of dates from Frank Zappa's Last Tour in The United States 1988. Three vinyl editions were released. There was this edition which has 2 black vinyl LPs. There was an edition that had 2 blue LPs, also another that was 1 Pink LP and 1 Blue LP. There has also been a CD with only 14 tracks, ending with "Florentine Pogen". Tracks sound like monitor mix but are very good to excellent audience recordings. There are a lot of tracks that have fades between them.

Frank Zappa did release a live album from this tour, none of these tracks appear to have been used. Matter of fact all songs on Broadway The Hard Way were constructed from more than one performance matrixed together.

The date listed as Detroit, Michigan 02/26/1988 was actually at The Royal Oak Music Theater, Royal Oak, Michigan.

LPs cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning system prior. The records were then treated with D4 applied with a velvet cloth. A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used prior to a flat transfer to CD-r. Large pops were removed manualy with Goldwave small ones were left.

This 2LP set was given to me by an Aunt when she heard I collected bootlegs. She admitted it was not in that great of shape, however it sounds pretty good after cleaning.
