I can't "answer" for the copy of Lather you have (I've never 
played mine on my PC), but I do recall the tracking phenomenon you mention 
from the vinyl days. I think your assessment is as good as any I've heard.
And while it has been a few years since my emailing, I received a very nice 
response from Don by contact via his website http://www.donpreston.com/ . As I 
recall, the response was not immediate, which he explained by his touring 
schedule.
I've never seen a website devoted entirely to Ian.
Good luck!
And welcome to the List...

  Here's my 1st question- I bought the Lather box set. When playing it 
  on my PC, often the titles appearing are not actually those playing. 
  Is this an FZ joke from the grave? 
  Question 2- Anybody know of any interesting sources for Ian Underwood 
  or Don Preston? I have been to Don's site, emailing himn from there has 
  provoked no response. I would like to order some of his and Bunk Gardners 
  CDs but do not want to send money if the operation is 
defunct.

"Question 4- any Varese fan's out 
there?"
 
Yes. Have Ionisation and Deserts. Need to 
get them on Cd though. My turntable is a thing of the past. Someone needs to a 
complete Varese box set.

I’ll let others comment
on the rest. Vines are a way of sharing recordings of live shows. Many if not
all of FZ’s shows were recorded by not only audience members. Well mixed
and engineered sound board recordings exist as well. While most are kept in a
vault by the Zappa family, many have been leaked out over the years. A fair
sized trickle in just the last few years. Never to be sold they are shared
freely among the fans. The term vine refers to one method where the original
disk is passed around and copied. You can get exact details of how we do it
here in the faq

with Questions-



 

Hey folks, have been a fan
since the seventh grade (1969)when I 
traded John Lennon's Life With The Lions for FZ's
Absolutely Free. 
Have been a hard core fan since. Only got to see
Frank live five 
times (six, if you count the two back to back
shows on one night) 
when I came of age in Austin,Texas.
Regretfully, never saw him with 
Ian Underwood.
I am finally buying Zappa on CD and am dividing my
purchases between 
classics and the flood of posthumous work coming
from Ryko etc. 
Here's my 1st question- I bought the Lather box
set. When playing it 
on my PC, often the titles appearing are not
actually those playing. 
Is this an FZ joke from the grave? I remember when
first obtaining 
Absolutely Free on vinyl, experiencing my
frustration in that the 
grooves that usually separated the tracks were
offset making it 
impossible to start a compostion on cue- later on
I would laugh 
thinking this was FZ's way of fucking with the DJs
and making you 
listen to his work by the side/concept rather than
by the single.
Question 2- Anybody know of any interesting
sources for Ian 
Underwood or Don Preston? I have been to Don's
site, emailing himn 
from there has provoked no response. I would like
to order some of 
his and Bunk Gardners CDs but do not want to send
money if the 
operation is defunct.
Question 3- what is a vine?
Question 4- any Varese fan's out there? I see on
Overstock.com that 
there will be a Varese biography available there soon.
