OK, that's, er, Lena Lovitch with "Lucky Number" and before that you heard "Iron Man", by Black Sabbath. I don't care what you say - I still like Black Sabbath! And this is Radio 1 and I'm Frank Zappa playing a bunch of records that I like. That was "All Tomorrow's Parties" by The Velvet Underground, with, er, Nico singing, and the "Royal March" from "L'Histoire du Soldat" by Igor Stravinsky. Track 10: "Royal March" from "A Soldier's Tale" - Igor Stravinsky Track 9: "All Tomorrow's Parties" - The Velvet Underground And the next one - we're going to play two in a row again, because these things should be heard together - this is "All Tomorrow's Parties", by The Velvet Underground followed by the "Royal March" from "L'Histoire du Soldat" by Igor Stravinsky. And in case you didn't know I chose all of these records because I like these songs for various, er, reasons. They're in there they must have spent another 25 dollars to hire those guys and you can barely hear 'em! Anyway, that was called "Soul Motion", and before that you heard "I Live In A Car" by the UK Subs. Can you hear? That is the weirdest mix I've ever heard in my life. And, of course, what wonderful radio show would be complete without a performance by Don Harris on violin and a bunch a' guys in the background that you can just barely hear playing trombones and saxophones and stuff that I never knew was there until I put these earphones on. This is Radio 1, and this is Frank Zappa, and this is the best radio show you've ever heard in your life. Er and now we have "I Live In A Car" by the UK Subs. You should check out "The Mexican Blackbird". Have you heard that one? Ah it has a good line in there. But if you go for that kind of stuff, I recommend a song called "The Mexican Blackbird" on, er, one of their other albums. Well, you know what that means! And its time - oh that was, er, Captain Beefheart in case you didn't know, and prior to that was, er, ZZ Top with "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and I don't know whether they play very much of, er, ZZ Top kind of music in this country it seems a little bit too ROBUST for the countryside from what I've been able to detect. Track 6: "Golden Birdies" - Captain Beefheart (From Clear Spot) Track 5: "Jesus Just Left Chicago" - ZZ Top But most people don't, so this is "Jesus Just Left Chicago" by ZZ Top. If people wouldn't have given him a bad time, he could have been writing for 25 more years and there would be 25 more years worth of stuff like that for the people who like that kind of stuff. The only thing that he did that was wrong was he stopped composing for 25 years because people gave him a bad time. You've just heard "The Closer You Are" by The Channels and "Hyperprism" by Edgard "Froese", or "Varase", depending on how good your pronounciation is of the names of famous composers that you can't pronounce too good. Track 3: "The Closer You Are" - The Channels The first is "The Closer You Are" by The Channels, and this will lead directly into "Hyperprism" by Edgard Varèse. We're gonna do something now that, er, they don't usually like to have done on this particular radio station, and that is segue one record into another, but I think that it's appropriate to make this segue because, er, these are two of my very favourite records and I think they should be heard as a pair. And the next thing you're going to hear is a song that my children really like, its called "Straight Lines", by New Music. That was Jeff Simmons with "I'm In The Music Business" and this is Frank Zappa being a fraudulent disc jockey on BBC 1. Track 1: "I'm In The Music Business" - Jeff Simmons "And now on Radio One - the best radio show you've ever heard, in your life!" Here is a transcript, providing FZ's playlist and presentation.
