Something a lot of people don't know is that the first public performance of Frank Zappa's own music was caught on tape and broadcast on KPFK-FM!!! Here is a great copy of that tape, a pre-FM from the KPFK archive. I often see this tape listed as having B or B+ sound quality, but it's actually a very strong A-. And it's stereo!!! This CD-r release is from a cassette tape that I got in trade many years ago from a fellow trader in California who claims to have a KPFK archive tape.
