1970152527N.p.: N.p. 1970. Dialogue transcript for the unfinished film copy belonging to Frank Zappa circa 1968 with a single annotation in Zappa's hand in holograph ink of "Wednesday" on top of first page. A transcript of multiple takes of ten scenes shot by Zappa for his long aspired but never finished experimental film. Featuring scenes primarily between Don Preston and Phyllis Smith Altenhaus the transcript also contains dialogue from Zappa himself as well as Carl Zappa Billy Mundi Aynsley Dunbar and Jimmy Carl Black. The annotation of "Wednesday" likely refers to the day the sequences were shot or the day Zappa intended on editing the footage.<br/><br/>Full provenance available including letter stating transcript came from the estate of Zappa's longtime business manager Herb Cohen.<br/><br/>As early as 1967 Zappa had begun work on his infamous unfinished experimental film "Uncle Meat." Originally featuring his then band the Mothers of Invention as both musicians and fictional characters over the next decade the film would morph and change into various proposed incarnations by Zappa's apparently unbridled imagination but the project was always constrained by a lack of financing. Finally in 1987 a direct-to-video "making of" documentary of the uncompleted "Uncle Meat" production was released.<br/><br/>In 1969 the Mothers of Invention released the double album "Uncle Meat." Largely an instrumental soundtrack to the unfinished film the album was an unfocused but brilliant showcase for Zappa's compositional dexterity and a harbinger of his emergence as one of the most creatively fertile minds in rock music.<br/><br/>Transparent front wrapper with orange back wrapper and spine. 59 leaves with last page of text numbered 58.
