Nice front cover but no Zappa content inside. There is an article by Al Aronowitz on Amercian music inside, even decorated with another photo by Claudia Cardinale taken from the same photo session as the cover photo, but Zappa and the Mothers are not mentioned in this article. Full photo session with Claudia Cardinale was first published in Italian magazine Epoca, July 1967.

Next to the cover picture is written "Emme vaadi lukijoiltamme koskaan tummaa pukua ja solmiota!" - We never require our readers to wear a dark suit and tie!

Automatic translation: Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention have moved from California to New York to get rid of what Frank calls the blue fascists of the Los Angeles police. And after he came to New York, the city was never the same. I recently went to a Greenwich Village restaurant for coffee with Frank. He was waiting at the table, and I knew him without difficulty. He resembles a gnarled, dying tree. The hair hangs over the eyes, there is a curved mustache under the nose. When he gets up in his striped pants and polo shirt, he is a bony freak of nature.

This interview seems to be a partial translation of the interview by Jerry Hopkins, published in Rolling Stone, July 20, 1968.

Concert review and interview with Frank Zappa made some time in Amsterdam. In article is written, that it was the concert in Paradiso club. There is no confirmed Zappa &The Mothers gig in Paradiso club known. On page 72 is a picture made by the author, where we can see George Duke with trombone in Concertgebow, Amsterdam. Most probably was the author at Zappa's gig in Concertgebow in December 6, 1970.

Parts of the article seems to be a modified translation of the Doon Arbus' article printed in 1967 in Cheetah and are misleading. They describe the concert and band back in 1967. In 1970 in Amsterdam Zappa was with so called Flo & Eddie band.

Nice article about Zappa, "one of the most important cultural geniuses of the XX century next to Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Gustav Mahler".

The main article is about Zappa, the outstanding businessman. It was agreed, that for two Helsinki concerts (in August 1973) Zappa will get 150,000 FIM, but the total box office later, with ticket price of 20 FIM, was only about 100,000 FIM. The concerts were paid to Zappa by Helsinki city festival organizers and the difference was covered by tax payers. "In our country we support not only opera, but also elite pop music."

Interesting, that in this article is written, that Zappa had actually three concerts in Helsinki because the demand was so high and probably he got more than 150,000 FIM.

Zappa gig list includes two shows in August 23. In the Suosikki article is written, that Zappa had concerts in two consecutive days with long rehearsals in both days and everything in these two days was recorded. Most probably Zappa had two full-scale concerts in August 23 and 24, and 3rd concert mentioned was actually a jam session afterparty in August 23 in N-Klubi without Zappa (described in Intro, October 1973).

Finally, in October 2013, Road Tapes, Venue #2 were issued based on recordings of the shows in August 23-24, Finlandia-talo, Helsinki.

The review of the concerts you can find in Intro, October 1973.

Frank Zappasta on tullut parin vuoden alkana eräänlainen suomalaisten poppareiden Kummisetä, jonka sanaa kuunellaan ja esimerkkiä seurataan.
Ensi kuussa hän saapuu jälleen ja silloin voimme kysyä vieläkö Zappan musiikillinen luovuus liitää ratsun tavoin.

Automatic translation:
Frank Zappa has become a kind of Godfather of Finnish rockers in the last couple of years, whose word is listened to and followed.
Next month, he arrives again, and then we can ask if Zappa's musical creativity sticks around like a horse.

Automatic translation: Frank Zappa, pioneer, apostle of musical discipline and stylistic certainty, twisted his mustache and black hair after a concert in Helsinki. Applause wasn't enough for Zappa! (read more)

This exclusive interview was made in Zappa's home, LA. After the interview FZ and Jyrki-Boy visited recording studio where Grand Funk Railroad was recording their LP (Good Singin', Good Playin'), and Zappa played a guitar solo for this album (probably for the song "Out To Get You").
