People on Zappa.com have said they received shipping notices. Maybe it's time I order RBP, along with Joe's Camouflage.

I did see on the boards where the suckers... errr... investors who paid $1000 for redistribution rights received a CD-R of the album, with no liner notes or artwork earlier this week.
 
I don't know if that's a good sign or bad sign.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

That's a shame, but something they probably should have done for awhile now.

Or you know...release the damn thing.

That optimistic eh?


Well it would make sense, since most ZFT releases come out around then, and this whole year is the 40th anniversary of R&E, so if it came out later than that, I would be massively disappointed.

I'd have rather they never announced RBP last year until they were ready, or even that thing they tried to do in 2012 where if you paid $1000 you'd get your own master copy to distribute.

The RBP page still says shipping on or around Feb. 21.
There is no indication of any shipping yet.
Usually they send an email when an order goes out.

New shipping date is Friday, Feb 21.
Only bumped it a week this time.
Either they are actually getting closer, or they enjoy f***ing with the faithful fans.

Maybe they are too busy shipping the discs to update you.

I've always found Meets The Mothers... slightly underrated. No classic, but still pretty damn good and enjoyable.

I think the most enjoyable, fun, and energetic synclavier pieces are on Meets the Mothers of Prevention. There's something about them that I like, maybe the juxtaposition between the rock tracks.

Oh, and What's New In Baltimore in now my new favorite Zappa tune, the guitar solo is beautiful, and makes me feel sad, yet happy.

Maybe I could make a good rock star, I don't know. LOL

By the way, last month, the ZFT sent:
 
"Suddenly for every Roxy reason possible it seemed imperative to make the actual Roxy By Proxy release truly special by offering this exceptionally entertaining audio aperitif. For those of you that ordered the Roxy By Proxy all those eons ago and even up til now, you can land Joe's Camouflage at a discount. Keep an eye on your email inboxes. Details will follow. "
 
How the f*** does this make the RBP release "special".  And no offer for a discount has come yet.  With this group's reliability, I wasn't going to hold my breath, not for a measily few dollars.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
