A Token of My Extreme

Featured as record 6 (silver label) of The History & Collected Improvisations of Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention (re-issued on CD).

Length: ~45 min
Sound quality: Audience B+ (particularily hissy)
LP label: ZX 3656
CD label: RXZ Records 306

Musicians: Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Denny Walley, George Duke, Tom Fowler, Terry Bozzio and Napoleon Murphy Brock

1. A Token of My Extreme
2. Stinkfoot
3. Sleeping in a Jar
4. Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead

5. Debra Kadabra [listed as "Abra Kadabra"]
6. Florentine Pogen [listed as "Chester's Gorilla"]
7. Why Doesn't Someone Get Him a Pepsi? ["The Torture Never Stops", original version]

Track 7 is the world premiere of "The Torture Never Stops" - the original 1975 version like on Stage #4. Zappa introduced this number saying "Why doesn't someone get him a Pepsi?". The sound on "Debra Kadabra" is especially poor. This bootleg should not be confused with A Token of HIS Extreme. According to some sources, only 100 copies were pressed.
