Mas Zappatistas que el Zappa
By Ángel Casas, 1 p

On page 10 there is an ad-poster of the shows to be performed by FZ in 1976. Two shows on March 15th & 16th in Badalona ( Barcelona) and on 17th in Bilbao. Eventually these shows were cancelled due to the advice of Herb Cohen to FZ about their equipment related with the transportation strike happened and finished before to those dates in Spain.

On page 13 is an article "More Zappists than Zappa" by Ángel Casas, formerly editor of Vibraciones #1 remembering his concert in Badalona '74 and his expectations for these news shows considering all excellent musicians who had played with him, though missing Captain Beefheart in this tour.

Two posters were included with #18 and mentioned on the cover: Wakeman and Zappa W.C.
