Record

Rolling Stone magazine published the Record starting November of 1981. It started out as a 1/4 fold newspaper print publication, like the original Rolling Stone magazine. Launched as The Record and by the fourth issue, it was known as simply Record. By late 1983 the publication was upgraded to a glossy cover B-size magazine. The final issue was January/February 1986.

Frank Zappa fans should be on the lookout for an EMI release later this year of three Zappa compositions performed by conductor Pierre Boulez' chamber orchestra The Ensemble Intercontemporain, with Boulez conducting, January 9 at Theatre De La Ville in Paris. Recorded on January 10 and 11 at the IRCAM Studios in the Pompidou Center in Paris, the LP will include "The Perfect Stranger," which Boulez commissioned to accommodate the 29-piece instrumentation used by his orchestra, plus "Naval Aviation In Art?" and "Dupree's Paradise," both Zappa compostions. This is hardly Zappa's first foray outside of rock. Last year he released an album of orchestral works recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra on his Barking Pumpkin label (distributed by CBS). Titled The London Symphony Orchestra, Zappa, Vol . 1, the LP features the world premieres of "Sad Jane," "Pedro's Dowry," "Envelopes" and "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation," which were performed by the LSO in an all-Zappa musical evening in January of 1983. Zappa has also been invited by composer Luciano Berio to guest conduct at the Magghio Musicale Fiorentino, 1984 (Florence May Festival); he has also been asked to guest conduct for the Honolulu Symphony 1984/85 season and to conduct his own music and selections from Edgar Varese at the University of Buffalo in 1985. And sometime this year he's going to release a rock album. This is a busy man.

Rarest Zappa
By Dan Forte, p 51

This seven-disk set contains digitally refurbished versions of Zappa and the Mothers of Invention’s first five releases, plus a “Mystery Disc.” Because Zappa’s remixes reveal sounds that even sealed copies of the original records don’t, this collection provides more than audiophile nostalgia for old-timers and should enlighten more youthful initiates.
