This is a RARE compact disc set = ((((cd's)))) = 7 TITLES although actually 8 discs as "Anyway the Swiss Cheese Fire"  is a two cd set...
The BOX set is complete, MINT, as first released some 27 years ago and long long go... the only other copies available are as follows: $500 on eBay and $550 on Discogs.
******************************************************************************************** The BOX SET is complete with 40 page booklet filled with fantastic photos ranging from 1963 and onward...the photos are collected from Zappa's personal artifacts over the years and worth the price of this set alone! Well, almost then... Also included is a nifty (never worn still in original plastic baggy) "French Baret" with tassel and little fancy nob on top, simulated leather piping, it looks fantastic! Insicribed inside is the title of this box set with Frank Zappa moniker.
Most copies IF luckily found are missing the red/gold metal pin ... it's here, as pictured! Look close ~~ there it is!

Frank Zappa's "Beat the Boots #2" is a wonderful set that shamefully has been out-of-print (unavailable) for MANY years now. When is Rhino going to re-release this lost gem? Probably never.
The custom crafted 8 compact CD disc set is much in vein with the first "Beat the Boots" set; that is, the set is comprised of classic ZAPPA / MOTHERS bootlegs that were around for a short time many many years before this limited set was released.
Part of the genius of Frank Zappa was to combat the influx of illegitimate releases by issuing those same recordings through Rhino Records at much cheaper prices, thereby benefiting both himself (by getting a royalty) and the general public (who didn't have to pay outrageous prices for them on the black market).
The set consists of the following titles:
Swiss Cheese/Fire (Switzerland Dec 4 '71);
Disconnected Synapses (Paris Dec. 15 '71);
Tengo Na Minchia Tanta (NYC Nov. '70);
Electric Aunt Jemima (Denver '68 & other locations);
At the Circus (Munich '78);
Our Man in Nirvana (Fullerton Nov. '68);
Conceptual Continuity (Detroit Nov. '76).

Overall, the sound quality is much more consistent than the first set, which had a few discs that were of very collectible, sure, but quality not quite as good as these (e.g., "Unmitigated Audacity").
"Swiss Cheese/Fire" is particularly important, as it documents an incredible performance of the Mothers (w/Flo and Eddie) in very good sound quality. After a long introductory jam, the band perfectly executes "Peaches En Regalia" with Flo and Eddie brilliantly vocalizing some of the parts that on the original recording were completely instrumental. The medley of "Tears Began to Fall/She Painted Up Her Face/Half A Dozen Provocative Squats" is brilliant, illustrating how well-rehearsed and precise this particular version of the Mothers was. The show ends abruptly at the end of the second disc when the building catches fire.

"Conceptual Continuity" from Detroit is another gem that captures the mid-70s Zappa band in all its glory. The disc begins with a rousing version of "Stinkfoot" featuring humorous interactions between Frank and the audience. There is a nice "Poodle Lecture/Dirty Love" medley and long version of "The Torture Never Stops." "Our Man in Nirvana" is an example of the early Mothers, and features a guest appearance by the great Wild Man Fischer, who sings a couple of his classics ("Wild Man Fischer Story/I'm the Meany"). There is also a version of "King Kong" that clocks in at a staggering 30 minutes. "Disconnected Synapses" is another Flo and Eddie era show, and features several songs that are not on the "Swiss Cheese/Fire" release. Particularly noteworthy is the live rendition of "Who Are the Brain Police." "Tengo Na Minchia Tanta" contains yet more of the zany theatrical and musical antics of the Flo and Eddie version of the Mothers.

"At the Circus" is an excellent sounding recording from '78 featuring Ike Willis, Denny Walley, and Tommy Mars, among others. Most of the songs on this recording are short and precise renditions of some of Zappa's concert staples during that period (e.g., "Easy Meat," "Baby Snakes," "Conehead," "Bobby Brown.") "Electric Aunt Jemima" was recorded in '68 in Denver (and other places) and, as expected, is an indispensable example of the brilliant original Mothers.
If you can find this set for basically ANY price, at this late date , buy it. You will not regret it. However, the world would be so much better if Rhino Records could realize the demand for this set and reissue it. Even though we can all but guarantee they wont.
So, here we go:::: a marathon of ZAPPA/MOTHERS rarities:::
