The volume 1 of a planned eight-volume series on Zappa recordings.
This is the first limited printing of 200 numbered and signed copies. The book has no content list and no page numbers. The book is printed on color printer and pages containing album sleeves and record labels are in color.
Scott Parker:
"This new privately-issued book is a labor of love, printed and sold by the author. It's 337 pages long and chronicles in it's first half the complete discography of FZ's commercial releases from 1959-1969, and in it's second half the book looks at every concert known to circulate among the underground network of FZ collectors from the 1959-1969 period. It is an exhaustive research work which should make even the most discriminating of Zappa fans happy! Further information and a look inside the book is available for you at www.scottparkerbooks.com. The book is the first part of what will be a multi-volume set covering FZ's entire career."

This is updated 2nd edition of the book published by subsidiary of Amazon and available at Amazon. This edition has page numbers, but still no content list. All pages are black and white.
Scott Parker:
The revisions are all in the appendix of Volume 2 which means that if you have Volume 2 you do NOT need this new version for the revisions. One thing that is VERY nice about this new version is how spiffy it looks however--they did a GREAT job, even if it is in B&W!!!

This is revised and expanded 3rd edition of this book. The print-run was 100 numbered and signed copies. Front cover artwork by Robert Ross.
Scott Parker:
In 2011, several circumstances forced me to have to create a new cover for the book. In addition, I took the time to correct a number of none-too-bright errors in the text that a first-time author would create without the assistance of a proofreader. Most, if not all, of these are corrected in this volume. There are also a number of new entries all over the book that make this volume as up-to-date as possible.
