Official Release #60. First of all, it must be understood that Playground Psychotics is intended for fans only: fans of Frank Zappa, of course, but most of all fans of the Flo & Eddie era of the Mothers of Invention (1970-1971); fans of the man's comedy rock; fans of his obsession with "life on the road" and its chronicling; and, finally, fans of the movie 200 Motels. This two-CD set contains live material and dialogues among band members (recorded with or without their knowledge). The "anthropological field recordings" (as Zappa liked to call them) get most of the attention. Each disc begins with a collage of dressing room and hotel room tapes. Touring can make you crazy and Zappa has proof. The second disc also ends with a sequence titled "The True Story of 200 Motels," where excerpts from the video by the same title are interspersed with previously unavailable tape recordings, all pertaining to the script-reading sessions in preparation for the movie shooting. The live tracks have average sound but present some very good moments, including old Mothers songs of which no live version with this particular lineup (including the vocal prowess of Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) was yet available; "Sleeping in a Jar" and "Mom and Dad" are highlights. An early version of "Wonderful Wino" and a complete alternate rendition of "Billy the Mountain" are also quite enjoyable. Disc one ends with the famous live session featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono, here released with a different mix than on Lennon's Sometime in New York City. Aficionados of this particular period will find most of this album amusing; others will get profoundly bored. tracklist: CD1 01 - Here Comes The Gear, Lads 02 - The Living Garbage Truck 03 - A Typical Sound Check 04 - ''This Is Neat'' 05 - The Motel Lobby 06 - Getting Stewed 07 - The Motel Room 08 - ''Don't Take Me Down'' 09 - The Dressing Room 10 - Learning ''Penis Dimension'' 11 - ''You There, With The Hardon!'' 12 - Zanti Serenade 13 - Divan 14 - Sleeping In A Jar 15 - ''Don't Eat There'' 16 - Brixton Still Life 17 - Super Grease 18 - Wonderful Wino 19 - Sharleena 20 - Crusin' For Burgers 21 - Diptheria Blues 22 - Well 23 - Say Please 24 - AAAWK 25 - Scumbag 26 - A Small Eternity With Yoko Ono CD2 01 - Beer Shampoo 02 - Champagne Lecture 03 - Childish Perversions 04 - Playground Psychotics 05 - The Mudshark Interview 06 - ''There's No Lust In Jazz'' 07 - Botulism On The Hoof 08 - You Got Your Armies 09 - The Spew King 10 - I'm Doomed 11 - Status Back Baby 12 - The London Cab Tape 13 - Concentration Moon, Part One 14 - The Sanzini Brothers 15 - ''It's A Good Thing We Get Paid To Do This'' 16 - Concentration Moon, Part Two 17 - Mom & Dad 18 - Intro To Music For Low Budget Orchestra 19 - Billy The Mountain 20 - He's Watching Us 21 - If You're Not A Professional Actor 22 - He's Right 23 - Going For The Money 24 - Jeff Quits 25 - A Bunch Of Adventures 26 - Martin Lickert's Story 27 - A Great Guy 28 - Bad Acting 29 - The Worst Reviews 30 - A Version Of Himself 31 - I Could Be A Star Now
