 1. Little Rubber Girl
    Bootleg(s) in which this version has appeared:

    Wrong date on the booklet: it was performed on October 31, 1978.

        An edit occurs at 2:31. There remains a real live segue from
      'Brown Moses' to 'The Evil Prince'.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------

10. Let's Move To Cleveland Solos
    Before the beginning of the real solos, you can hear something
    you will here again (in an another version) before the beginning
    of "Smell My Beard" in this volume. Here what affz said:

      Date: unknown

      You guys also spotted the 9 second 'motiv' played by the 73/74
      band going 'rdn...rrr-rud-tud-tudn'? It isn't credited as a song,
      and it appears twice on volume 4, even between two songs that
      aren't even from that period!!

      I think this was called The Hook, and FZ had the band (in this
      case the 73-74 band IMO) cued to do it on a hand signal along
      with others we all know and love.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------

11. You Call That Music?
    Performed on April, 1969 (corrected in the YCDTOSA 2 booklet)

12. Pound For A Brown Solos
    Wrong date on the booklet: it was performed on October 31, 1978.

13. The Black Page (1984)
    Guitar solo is from the Pier, NYC, August 26, 1984 (source:
    affz, Pat Buzby).

14. Take Me Out To The Ball Game
    Here is what Mike Keneally writes on his web page 
    (http://psy.ucsd.edu/~scott/zappa.html):
    "I think "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" is one of the most
    outstandingly absurd things ever to appear on an FZ release".

15. Filthy Habits
    album(s) in which song has appeared: "Sleep Dirt" not "Studio
    Tan".

16. The Torture Never Stops (Original Version)
    Wrong date on the booklet: it should have been performed on May
    1975 in the "Bongo Fury" concerts.

18. Stevie's Spanking
    This version appears in the "Video From Hell" video.

        The Rome performance wasn't used as a whole. Compared to Video
      From Hell version, the vocal section and the first FZ's short
      guitar solo is from an unknown performance. At 2:46, when Steve's
      solo begins, it is edited to Rome.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------

23. Florentine Pogen
    The booklet says that this version is from a '79 concert but the
    first part (until 2:16) come from a 1974 concert. Here again what
    affz says:

      My theory is that the first part is from the YCDTOSA 2
      Helsinki shows, since Chester's bass drum has that same 
      staple-gun sound as on those CDs. Just speculation, though.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------

24. Tiny Sick Tears
    Here is what Ben Watson wrote in "Frank Zappa The Negative
    Dialetics of Poodle Play" (pag. 491):
    
      This is the same routine that Zappa performed at his orchestral
      concert at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion on 15 May 1970. It rubbishes
      Jim Morrison's mythic expansion of Oedipal themes in "The End":
      when the protagonist declares "father I want to kill you!" his
      father is "beating is meat with a copy of Playboy" and says "not
      now son, not now".

    F.P.Tullius wrote an article on the 1970 concert entitled "Zubin
    and Mothers" published in the April 1971 issue of Playboy (this
    article has been posted to a.f.f-z by David L. Windt on May 26,
    1995). In this article Tullius transcribed the 1970 routine.

25. Smell My Beard
    See also comments to track 10 "Let's Move To Cleveland Solos".

25. Smell My Beard
26. The Booger Man
    Wrong date on the booklet: it was performed on November 8, 1974
    (source: affz, Pat Buzby (his source: "Society Pages")).

        An edit from '84 band to '82 band occurs before the last word
