It consists of additional music compiled from master tapes
that were handpicked and worked on by the Maestro himself. All masters were
transferred at The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen in 2004. Most of these
performances were scattered amongst various reels, some incomplete, all found
in The Vault. Frank would work with material from this line-up on and off, but
sadly nothing was ever officially released during his lifetime. IMAGINARY
DISEASES was the first release to feature the “Petit Wazoo”, a short-lived
10-piece ensemble with an emphasis on brass and woodwind instrumentation. (with
maybe even a little steel drum on the side…)
To quote Gail Zappa: “This is the 10 Piece Band asordained by FZ who also called it the Mothers of Invention, although at this
point in time and space this entitlement was more a marketing device and part
of the conceptual continuity. For everyone on the other side of the speaker
cabinets however, it will always be the Petit Wazoo.”
A tour was booked that took the band through the U.S.& Canada during the end of October through December, 1972. During this
tour, many new compositions were introduced for the first time. “Little Dots,”
the piece, makes it’s debut on this release. “Cosmik Debris” is the first
version which predates the issued master on APOSTROPHE(’) in 1974. “Rollo” can
now be heard in it’s initial and complete three-movement form. There were also
many instances where Frank would challenge the group to on-the-spot
improvisations, or just hit ‘em with a good ol’ nasty blues as evident on
“Kansas City Shuffle”.
