$13'000

I remember a newly unearthed Velvet U acetate went for $200'000, for what was the same material.

I guess at least we can be sure there is a copy of the master tape(s) for this in FZ's vault...so, if it's any good, Dweezil and the family could well release it. Notwithstanding the scope of the archive, as this made it to acetate, I presume it is one of the proposed 1969 12-LP set "The History And Collected Improvisations Of The Mothers Of Invention"?

I question the price on the item, if as you say there is a master tape in the Zappa Vault. I reckon a lot of material turned up on the Necessity is... bootleg, stuff like Igors boogie. There is a credit to 'Phil Wenz' that has baffled a few since the item has been disclosed into the Public domain.

Yes, my understanding this is part of "History"

An acetate of side 1 and side 2 of the History & Collected Improvisations..turned up in the late 70's. This acetate is probably not part of the projected boxset.

Has the description and offer for sale of ITEM dissappeared?
