about: john trubee & the japanese 'paper sleeve' edition of zappa catalogue

john trubee is back.  last you probably heard from him, was his contribution to zoogz rift's "born in the wrong universe", but the latest news is that he released (quite) a bunch of cdrs:

john trubee

please read john's comment on each of them.  he also wrote:
'all cdrs are $11.95 each postpaid', but i guess that's u.s.of a. only, so if you're from another side of the world, ask for correct costs first.

   ORPHAN OUTSIDE THE BANQUET CDRS

   A new release of CDRs are NOW, FINALLY available for the discriminating listener. These AMAZING recordings are unavailable via retail outlets because distributors and retailers are too stupid and ignorant to recognize sublime beauty when it bites them on their asses.

   BLIND MAN'S PENIS, PRANK PHONE CALLS, & INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
   John Trubee & The Ugly Janitors of America

   Self-descriptive title including BLIND MAN'S PENIS, which is out of print & unavailable everywhere except here. Also includes the original 1987 Ugly Janitors of America recording of WHEN MY SHIP ROLLS IN, weirdo prank calls going back to 1973 (!) including ZSA ZSA GABOR EARWIG, NAZI ARMY MEN, ELECTRIC BEMIS, DRUG HOTLINE IN TRENTON NJ 1980 and many more. Also includes great remixed outtakes from the WORLD OF LYING PIGS album sessions and bizarre electronic works.

   SONG DEMO FOR A HELEN KELLER WORLD
   John Trubee & The Ugly Janitors of America
 
    This collection of beautifully sarcastic songs was featured in Larry Wessel's critically acclaimed video documentary of the same name. Recorded at North Hollywood's Clear Lake Audio over New Year's 1999, this CDR features LITTLE BOY MELVIN RIDES AGAIN, THE RAIN KEEPS FALLING, TAKE A SHIT ON ME, TWILIGHT SONG, & more. These songs have never been performed live anywhere. This world is not worthy of them. 

    PORNO VALLEY SONG DEMO
    John Trubee & The Ugly Janitors of America

    This wonderful assortment of songs was recorded in one day on March 12th, 2000 in the San Fernando Valley--notorious for its flourishing adult entertainment industry. We briefly rehearsed each tune, then recorded it. They have not been performed or recorded since. They are too rare and beautiful for this corrupt world. Titles include BEAUTIFUL NAKED LADY, SPANISH CALIFORNIA, HAG MARCELLA, THE WORLD'S ON FIRE, and more. Nude women, cocks, pussies, pulsating orgasms, tits, asses, DPs, orgies, & blow jobs surrounded us as we recorded this.

    OBSCURE GOLD FROM THE INVISIBLE NIGGER
    John Trubee & The Ugly Janitors of America

    A really weird album with an insane phoned-in bizarre rant from crazy person Delmar Conley plus great tunes such as DILDO FACTORY, THEY CALL ME MISTER UGLY, electronic space music THE SOUND OF GOD SMILING, a live cover of Curtis Mayfield's MINSTREL & QUEEN, SHOP TIL YOU SHIT, and more.

    GREATEST PRANK CALLS OF ALL TIME--John Trubee

    The title says it all. The best calls dating from the 1970's to the 1990s--surreal blatherings elicit stunned & angry reactions from normal people who don't appreciate an insane person assaulting their deluded sense of reality.

     JENNIE'S POLYPS: GROOVY PRANK PHONE CALLS
     John Trubee

     Jennie was a bitch supervisor who fired Trubee's ass due to her congenital lack of humor. We dedicate this fine prank call album to her pissy whorishness. Groovy titles include NUDE MODELING, SQUEEGIE BLISTEX, DEMON FROM HELL 1 & 2, THE PLEXIGLASS WE DID TOGETHER, I'LL VOMIT ONYA, GREEK CULTURE, PRIVATE CLUB FOR SEXUALLY OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE, and many more.
The liner notes feature a provocative essay about the prank call ethos by Trubee.

     PRANK CALLS TO IDIOTS--Volume 6
     John Trubee

     Torturing bland normals in the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, and beyond shortly after the exciting Los Angeles riots of 1992. Brutal humor helps to heal the brokenhearted. Can't we all just get along?

     ALL CDRS ARE $11.95 EACH POSTPAID.

     MAKE ALL CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS PAYABLE TO  JOHN TRUBEE.
     PLEASE SEND ORDERS TO:

"UGLY JANITORS OF AMERICA FOREVER!"
* * * * *

ryko japan has rereleased some fourty zappa albums on cd as a 'paper sleeve edition'.  this means that the the cd-package, looks like a little lp album, that all the original inserts are there, and that the cd itself looks like a little vinyl album as well - labels included.  a fine piece of work.

this first series of 21 titles was accompanied by a beautiful box that can carry these discs. at the same time, the green chunga's revenge was released.  (i haven't got a picure of the box yet.)
in 2002, the next part got released.

a japanese distributor / store issued a box for the above mentioned six albums.
<the picture of the box>;
and very recently 6 new titles were added to the lot.

quite a list, i know.  gotta take a nap now, talk again to you soon.
