Rarities from the upcoming Hot Rats 6 CD set

Two tracks from the upcoming Frank Zappa Hot Rats Sessions 6 CD set are now available on Spotify.
The set will be released any day now (December 20) but here we can enjoy two familiar tunes but in a different form than we are used to.

  • Dame Margaret's Son To Be A Bride
    (1969 quick mix)
    This piece is actually the basic tracks for the song Lemme Take You To The Beach (Studio Tan 1978). The strange song title seems to refer to actress Margaret Rutherford's adopted son Gordon Langley Hall. He had sex reassignment surgery in 1968 and married a man in the US. 
  • It Must Be A Camel (1969 mix outtake)
