Titties & Beer (Zoot Allures Live in Paris) (LP)
Pavillon de Paris, 03-Feb-1977
Issued both on Smilin’ Ears Records and as HFQ 177 (these things were printed on the actual labels) with nearly identical covers - the only detail that’s different is the colour of the text on the front cover. It says “ZAPPA” and “Titties and Beer”, and the Smilin’ Ears version has all that printed in red, while the HFQ 177 version has “ZAPPA” and “and” in black, “Titties” in red and “Beer” in yellow. The print on the respective labels is set in the same font.

Some copies may have only one of the titles Titties & Beer and Zoot Allures Live in Paris. The confirmed copies certainly have both: Titties & Beer on one side of the cover and Zoot Allures Live in Paris on the other. These copies have Titties & Beer on the spine.

Length: ~90 min / ~45 min
Sound quality: Audience B
Label: Smilin’ Ears Records 7702 / HFQ 177

The latest from The Zappa Early Renaissance Orchestra … actually a ‘greatest hits’ package (100 minutes of music for $5 USD – nice!).

The music and arrangement of Montana, is worth the $5.00 in and of itself! Mission Impossible!
Great find.
