Overview

The track "Baby Snakes" is the studio recording which appears on Sheik Yerbouti, but omits the opening riff (instead starting at the first verse). All other tracks are live recordings, unique to this album and the film.

Like the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar set, this LP was originally offered for sale only as a mail order item through Columbia Records' Record Club division in Terre Haute, IN. The LP was later offered to distributors for conventional brick-and-mortar store sales.

Baby Snakes: The Compleat Soundtrack was released to iTunes on December 21, 2012.[2]

[de] Baby Snakes (Album)

Baby Snakes (dt. Babyschlangen) ist der Soundtrack des gleichnamigen Films von Frank Zappa, der 1983 als Picture Disc erschien. Die Aufnahmen stammen von Konzerten im Palladium, einer Rockkonzerthalle in New York, die zu Halloween zwischen dem 28. und 31. Oktober 1977 aufgezeichnet wurden.[2] Auf der Platte erschien erstmals offiziell der Titel Punky’s Whips. Er beschreibt die fiktiven latent homoerotischen Gefühle, die Schlagzeuger Terry Bozzio beim Anblick einer Promotionsfotografie des Leadsängers der Band Angel, Punky Meadows, empfindet. Die Veröffentlichung dieses Stücks war eigentlich schon für das Album Zappa in New York (1976) vorgesehen, wurde aber aufgrund rechtlicher Bedenken seitens der Plattenfirma Warner Brothers kurzfristig vom Album genommen. Auf jener Platte war auch das Stück Titties & Beer zu finden, welches auf Baby Snakes um einen Seitenhieb auf ebendiese Firma ergänzt ist.[3]
