Frank Zappa - Finer Moments Vinyl 2013

Factory sealed and never been played!

Double vinyl LP pressing. Finer Moments is a recording, intended for vinyl, discovered in the vault exactly as Frank Zappa left it in 1973. You could say it's a prequel to the series You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore which was launched 15 years later. Finer Moments is probably about getting very close to the edge of perfection in terms of performance - hitting the correct notes, correctly. It's also about one of a kind performances and the events that occur simultaneously onstage - imagine all that in the same dimension.
