Chris West, January 3, 2007

It turns out to be a programme in the Classic Albums series, focusing on Over-nite Sensation and Apostrophe'. It's a truly wonderful programme. They've raided the Zappa vault and unearthed footage of those sessions with the Ikettes, as well as chunks of the Roxy video (mainly Montana) and even a brief clip of Bianca singing Dirty Love. In between Dweezil talks about the music and plays bits of the original master tracks, playing several bits (such as backing vocals) that didn't make the album.
