   The Hot Rats Sessions 6-CD set must be official release 112, or thereabouts.   
      
   Track 7 Disc 5, 'The origin of Hot Rats' has FZ giving his version of the   
   album title 'Hot Rats'.   
      
      
   You'll recall that on p. 210 of Charles Ulrich's  _The Big Note_ CU states   
   that the title 'came from Beefheart's improvised lyrics at the end of "Willie   
   the Pimp."   
      
   On Track 7, Disc 5, you hear FZ say that 'hot rats' was his image of the sound   
   of Archie Shepp's saxophone on 'Shadow of your smile' (aka the theme from 'The   
   Sandpiper).   
      
      
   Amongst the rest are various radio promos, including one that is referenced by   
   Charles Ulrich on p 211 of TBN giving the official version of the name   
   'Peaches en regalia'.   
      
      
   My dau found my 'The Hot Rats Sessions' set for Euro139 at a record shop in   
   Dublin. USD125, I understand, in other places.
