Frank Zappa talking about Burt Ward

Post by BAT 77 »

Found this on YouTube tonight - recently posted on the site. A three minute audio clip of Frank Zappa talking about recording and producing Burt Ward's "Boy Wonder, I Love You", "Orange Color Sky" and "Teenage Bill of Rights". I've heard and read Burt's take and was always interested in what Zappa had to say about these infamous recordings.

Thanks for sharing this, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Zappa talk about Burt. As large as it might loom in Bat-Lore, it always felt like it was less than a footnote in Zappa’s colourful life and times.

Not that I should've been surprised as Zappa had meticulously archived EVERYTHING he recorded and produced, but I did spark at his comment that he has all the masters from the Burt Ward recording session. One wonders if the Zappa Family Trust has any plans to remaster and release any of this material.
