CommentHow Much Rot Can You Handle?

Various live 1978-1982
Snippets from a Var?se radio special in November (?) 1981
Sound Quality: Various, probably audience
Label: KB 1041

Track 1 is live in Brussels 14-May-1982.
Track 2 is live in Essen 10-Jun-1982.
Track 3 is live in Hamburg 08-Jun-1982.
Track 4 is live at Cambridge MA, October 1978 (second show). It has been called an "outtake from 'Pound for a Brown'"; one would guess it was (at least similar to) "Emperor of Ohio"
It says on it: "Produced by Rod & Nony for Cornhole Productions. Made in Belgium 1984". Between the tracks there are snippets from a 1981 radio special on Var?se. The title must be an allusion to an ad for Rod Stewart that goes "How much Rod can you handle?" - when Zappa played some Palladium 1978 material on WPIX radio in 1979, a guitar solo (possibly the unreleased "Mo' Mama" in the Guitar Book) segued right into that ad.
