   There is a festive article in today's (26th Dec) UK daily newspaper "ipaper",   
   (and probably it's sister paper the "Independent") titled 'Forgotten   
   Crackers', by Pierre Perrone about neglected festive tracks. Included is FZ,   
   his section below... thers a    
   photo of FZ too.   
      
   Frank Zappa Xmas Values   
   Civilization Phaze III - 1994   
   More musique concrète than the Sgt Pepper's-bothering We're Only in it for the   
   Money that made the top 30 on both sides of the Atlantic in 1968 and helped to   
   establish the maverick leader of the Mothers of Invention, this album was the   
   first of 30 -    
   count them - posthumous releases. It charted in Germany but is a million miles   
   removed from the proto-jazz fusion of "Peaches En Regalia" from his 1969 Hot   
   Rats album, beloved of broadcasters Danny Baker and Mark Riley.   
      
      
   The other tracks mentioned are: The Supremes 'My Christmas Tree; The Who   
   'Christmas'; The Residents 'Santa Dog'; The Rolling Stones 'Winter'; The   
   Damned 'There Ain't No Sanity Clause'; Chiago 'Child's Prayer'; America   
   'Christmas In California'; Manic    
   Street Preachers 'The Ghostr of Christmas'; Earth, Wind & Fire 'December'.
