SOCIETY PAGES WAS A U.S.A. FANZINE PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1990 AND 1994 BEFORE THEY BIT THE BIG ONE- IT WAS KINDA' OFFICIAL, HEY FRANK DID TALK TO THOSE SCHMUCKS TWICE. THERE WERE 12 ISSUES IF YOU WANNA COUNT ISSUE #12, WHICH WAS A  FRANK ZAPPA PHOTO MEMORIAL ISSUE THEY PRINTED IN 1994 AFTER FRANK CROAKED AND THEY ALONG WITH HIM. { ACTUALLY THEY BIT THE BIG ONE LONG BEFORE THEIR LAST ISSUE } THIS FANZINE HAD ALL OF THE STUFF YOU'D EXPECT IN A ZAPPA FANZINE SUCH AS PHOTOS, ZAPPA ARTICLES AND INTERVIEWS, OFFICIAL CD REVIEWS, CARTOONS, ART WORK, SUBSCRIBER ADS AND ARTICLES / INFORMATION ABOUT ZAPPA RELATED ARTISTS SUCH AS CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, STEVE VAI, DWEEZIL ZAPPA, ADRIAN BELEW {ETC}. BUT ONE THING IT DIDN'T HAVE WAS ANY INFORMATION OR REVIEWS ABOUT BOOTLEGS. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ZAPPA BOOTLEG INFORMATION LOOK ELSEWHERE. HEY, YOU CAN ALWAYS BUY THE EVIL PRINCE ON TOUR SINISTER VINYL GUIDE THAT I JUST MIGHT HAVE LISTED IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE GOLDEN YEARS OF ZAPPA BOOTLEGS.
NOW ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, SOCIETY PAGES HAD PRETTY GOOD PRODUCTION VALUES, THE PAGES WERE BIGGER AND BETTER QUALITY THAN MOST ZAPPA FANZINES. ALSO THERE WERE A LOT MORE PAGES, THESE SUCKERS HAD MORE PAGES THAN SOME BOOKS ABOUT ZAPPA. THIS FANZINE WAS TAKEN OVER FROM SOCIETY PAGES IN NORWAY AND I'M INCLUDING A COPY OF THE INTRODUCTION / INFORMATION / HYPE LETTER SENT OUT AFTER THE TAKE OVER AND AN ORDER FORM / INCENTIVE PLAN SUBSCRIPTION OFFER COUPON -
LEMME TELL YA', READING ZAPPA FANZINES IS A FASTER AND EASIER WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD BEEN GWINE ON IN THE ZAPPA WORLD, THAN TRYING TO TRACK DOWN INDIVIDUAL MAGAZINES WITH A COUPLE PAGES OF FRANK ZAPPA SQUEEZED IN BETWEEN SOME PHOTOS OF VINTAGE MAMMALIAN PROTUBERANCES. ALL OF THE ISSUES ARE COMPLETE, NO PRICE STICKERS AS THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL MAIL ORDER VARIETY, NOT THE NEWS STAND RECORD STORE ISSUES. ISSUE 11 HAS SOME NUMBERS WRITTEN ON THE BACK IN THE WHITE AREA ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS.
CHECK THIS OUT: A LITTLE WHILE BACK I RAN INTO PUP-TENTACLE. YEAH, HE'S STILL FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE. SO IF YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM YESTERDAY AND DON'T SEE HIM NOW, YOU JUST MIGHT BE SEEING HIM SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE HE'S BEEN.
FRANK MUSTA' SEEN HIM TOO AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. SO SINCE HE WAS JUST HANGING AROUND I ASKED HIM: HEY PUP, YEAH YOU MR. TENTACLE, THAT'S RIGHT, I SEE YOU AND SINCE IT APPEARS YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO TONITE, TELL ME HOW THE FUTURE IS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHERE YOU'VE BEEN. WHERE-UPON MR. TENTACLE HAD THE UNMITIGATED AUDACITY TO ANSWER: "WELL REVERED, IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW, IT'S KINDA' LIKE THE PAST, THE PRICE OF MEAT IS STILL GOING UP AND YOUR OLD LADY IS STILL GOING DOWN".
I'M TELLING YA', HE REALLY MADE ME ANGRY. SO I TRIED GRABBING ONE OF HIS TENTACLES, BUT IT OOZED OUT OF MY HAND AND DISAPPEARED. HE MUSTA' SLIPPED ACROSS THE LINE FROM LATER ON TO WAY BACK WHEN OR SOMETHIN?. DAMM, I SHOULDA' PUSHED IN HIS CHIN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE. THAT'S OK THOUGH, I'LL CATCH UP WITH HIM AGAIN ONE DAY AND WHEN I DO I'M GONNA SMACK HIM RIGHT UPSIDE THAT HIDEOUS OCTOPUS LOOKING HEAD OF HIS. SO IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE HIM HANGING AROUND WHEN YOU GET THE SQUINTS FROM YOUR DOWNERS AND YOUR WINE, TELL HIM REV. A. WEST IS LOOKING FOR HIM. OK LARRY?
