   This is a pretty old message, so maybe you already have this sorted out.   
   But I think Mother People may have been conflating two things (the   
   earlier rejection of the RFK album with Warner Bros conflict in the   
   L[e]ather era], or just mistaken. There are other catalog numbers   
   "missing"(-slash- unused) in the DiscReet discography. I don't KNOW if   
   there is any particular significance in 2293 missing from the sequence   
   of pseudo-legal Zappa releases on the label, but I suspect not.
