Out of the vault. A twisting, turning genre buster. We go places we've never gone before. The Kinks get us started and Fats Domino takes us home with a wild ride in between.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ICONIC "PIPCO" SHIRT FINALLY EXPLAINED.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Frank Zappa of THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION smoking a cigarette and signing autographs after a Mothers concert at Muhlenberg College, PA, c. April 1969. 📸: Peter Meza.
SHOT/PICO TEE OVERVIEW: "The headliners were THE TURTLES, who went on first. Nearly everyone left when the Mothers of Invention hit the stage. After the concert I took this photo and the few remaining teenaged hardcore Zappa fans (and their girlfriends) started clearing out. Frank was left sitting on the bleachers by himself. I tentatively approached him ("Hey Frank can I ask you a question?" "Sure, kid") about the cover of the "Lumpy Gravy" album and the PIPCO T-shirt. He said it was a Little League T-shirt and that Pipco pipe company of Santa Barbara, CA was the sponsor."
-- PETER MEZA (former student/photographer)

I Shot Frank Zappa - £4.99 from Google Books
I Shot Frank Zappa by Robert JH Davidson and John Elliott is now available from Google Books. £4.99 GBP. https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Robert_Davidson_I_Shot_Frank_Zappa?id=UOt4EAAAQBAJ… #zappa #themothersofinvention #dweezilzappa #rockandroll #zappacrappa #frankzappa #1960s #1960sfashion #1960smusic #photography #rockphotography
On the 16th of August 1967, 25 year old Robert Davidson was at The Royal Garden Hotel with band promoter Tony Secunda as part of a press call for Frank Zappa’s upcoming concert at the Royal Albert Hall, a day that was to change his life forever. It was swelteringly hot. The room was heaving with press. Zappa disappeared to go to the bathroom. Wandering around the penthouse apartment, looking for a photo opportunity, Robert found Zappa, stripped, with his trousers around his ankles, sitting on the loo chatting to his wife Gail on the phone. The open doorway framed the shot perfectly. It was too good to miss. Robert asked permission to take some photos. Zappa saying to his wife. “Some limey wants to take my picture on the John. Sure, whatever turns him on.” This set of images, immediately gained cult status, a sentiment echoed by Zappa himself in 1983, when he stated, “I’m probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else.” Despite one of the photographs becoming a worldwide bestselling poster, Robert never received any royalties. I Shot Frank Zappa chronicles Robert’s efforts over the years to reclaim copyright and ownership of the negatives, and in the process takes the reader on a journey through the drug fuelled Swinging Sixties of London up to the current day, where characters like the Krays, the models Twiggy and Celia Hammond and later Kate Moss trip lightly over the pages. It is not just a story about stolen copyright. It describes a man’s personal journey and his struggle to balance the demands of family life with failing mental health. I Shot Frank Zappa is a story of serendipity and redemption and the refusal to give up when the world seems against you, all seen through Robert’s eyes, which filter events with warmth and humanity, like the lens of the camera, behind which he prefers to hide.

Day 15:  #mayvinylchallenge : Gateway | Intro To An Artist Or Genre Gateways. Entrances. Drugs. Cow-Deco Computers. Many types, y'all. But we speak of musical entryways into a genre or artist. So for my choice, I am going with none other than FRANK ZAPPA, as in my humbly arrogant opinion, checks both boxes as an artist and a downright genre unto himself. The gateway into the Zappa Universe to me is: 🔺️ Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention - Over-Nite Sensation [1973] Frank Zappa's music can be admittedly a hard thing to get into. I'm not talking about the musical complexity or zaniness. It is merely a vast canon of music and it can be a daunting dive. But for anyone looking for a record that encapsulates all of the elements that make the Zappa fans go crazy, Over-Nite Sensation has all of it in a easy-to-swallow jagged pill. The edges are slightly rounded. Slightly. This album finds Zappa at the start of his most commercial period, with the music delving into hard rock, funk and fusion elements, as well as Zappa's brand of humor and subject matter. From the political satire of "I'm The Slime", the comedic and cartoonish landscapes of "Zomby Woof" and "Montana", down to the sexually and explicit natures of "Dirty Love" and "Dinah Moe Hum", the album features all of the central themes, while delivering on the Zappa guarantee of complex and exciting music that bends the genres of which they come from, played by some of the best musicians on Earth. Today's theme brought to you by: @anoceanbrief / @djeastone / @lottamaghandi_ Vinyl Challenge conduit: @jennn_erator Photo by: @rosemcgiggles #vinylcommunity #vinylchallenge #vinyllust #vinyllife #vinyl #vinylcollector #records #recordcollection #wreckastow #gateway #introtoanartistorgenre #frankzappa #themothersofinvention #overnitesensation #1973 #dopeness #chrislebrane https://www.instagram.com/p/CAOop5hnI6Z/?igshid=1uceezm5rulhm
