Zappa in New York Review by William Ruhlmann
Courtesy of AllMusic.comZappa in New York was recorded in December 1976 at the Palladium and originally intended for release in 1977. It was held up due to arguments between Frank Zappa and his then-record label, Warner Bros. When the two-LP set finally appeared in March 1978, Warner had deleted "Punky's Whips," a song about drummer Terry Bozzio's attraction to Punky Meadows of Angel. The Zappa band, which includes bassist Patrick O'Hearn, percussionist Ruth Underwood, and keyboard player Eddie Jobson, along with a horn section including the two Brecker brothers, was one of the bandleader's most accomplished, which it had to be, to play songs like "Black Page," even in the "easy" version presented here. Zappa also was at the height of his comic stagecraft, notably on songs like "Titties & Beer," which is essentially a comedy routine between Zappa and Bozzio, and "The Illinois Enema Bandit," which features TV announcer Don Pardo. SELLER'S NOTE: THE SECOND MAJOR DELAY IN GETTING THIS ALBUM RELEASED WAS THE LIVE (SNL) RECORDING OF "The Illinois Enema Bandit," WHICH WAS PLACED ON THE ORIGINAL ALBUM. HOWEVER THAT RECORDING GENERATED A THREATENED LAW SUIT BY SATURDAY NIGHT 'LIVE' BECAUSE WB/DISCREET AND FRANK ZAPPA HADN'T RECEIVED ANY CLEARANCE FROM NBC TO USE THE TRACK. THE ISSUE WAS EVENTUALLY RESOVED WITHOUT LITIGATION BUT DID CAUSE A DELAY IN ITS RELEASE.
