With the success of his Apostrophe and Roxy & Elsewhere albums, 1974 saw Frank Zappa at his commercial peak. Evidently feeling a surfeit of goodwill towards his fans, at the close of the year he prepared a personally mixed reel of live performances from the previous year for broadcast on WLIR-FM in Garden City, New York, on New Year's Eve. Not to be confused with a show he was playing the same night in Long Beach, California, this is a typically adventurous and humorous compilation, and is presented here with background notes and images. 180 gram vinyl; includes insert. A1. Announcer's Introduction, A2. Zappa's Introduction - Aka Tango Chat (Wayne NJ 73/11/11), A3. Pygmy Twylyte/Dummy Up (W/ Coffee Location ; Date Unknown), A4. Be-Bop Tango Excerpt (Location ; Date Unknown), A5. the Story of Dupree's Paradise (NYC 73/11/22), A6. Yellow Snow Suite (Sydney Australia 73/06/24) (Fade), B1. Yellow Snow Suite (Sydney Australia 73/06/24), B2. Guitar Event (Lowell Ma 73/11/30), B3. Bebop Tango Contest (Waterloo Canada 73/11/18), B4. Announcer's Closing Remarks
