You did it: You helped save the Vault! Thanks to you, the most at-risk materials in Frank Zappa's private archives are being preserved, and we're making the definitive doc about his life.

AN AUDIO-ONLY UPDATE BY POPULAR REQUEST!
नमस्त, Freaks! Going to keep this short and sweet. We’re still awaiting last batches to come in. Though one piece of very cool news to share is that we are saving the last original 35mm print of Baby Snakes! That’s going through the preservation process as we speak! But that’s not why I’m here. We’ve received some messages from backers over the last month asking us to share more audio in the updates, so I wanted to comply poste-haste.
ENEMAS, BANDITS AND GUITAR SOLOS!!
What we’ve got for you is a guitar solo from The Illinois Enema Bandit, recorded live sometime in 1980. It was remixed by FZ at the UMRK from an 8-Track 1" Master Tape. FZ hand-selected this solo to mix, for what, we'll never know. It was transferred from a tape that contained no information as to where and when it was recorded. but it was mixed in the late 80's. I’m sure all of you diehard fans will be able to identify the info once you get your hands on it!
Hope you dug it! And for those awaiting the last rewards, much work is going into compiling audio and video for the digital vault pass, Cal Schenkel is busy signing prints, and the mighty Matt Groening got in touch last week to say his homemade goodies are about done. So hang in there, we’re close to getting all of this out to all of you!
Onward!
