''Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch'' is an album by Frank Zappa, released in May 1982 and digitally remastered in 1991. It features five tracks composed by Zappa, and one song, "Valley Girl", co-written with Moon Unit Zappa, his daughter, who provided the spoken monologue mocking some of the Valley girls at her school including "Gag me with a spoon!". The album's first half consists of studio recordings, while the second half consists of live recordings; its vinyl configuration presented the studio recordings on the first side, while the second side was live. This is Official Release #35. == Production == Most of Side 1 was recorded at Zappa's Utility Muffin Research Kitchen studio at his home in Los Angeles; while the majority of the material on Side 2 was extracted from live performances during tours in 1981 and 1982. The live material was originally intended for an unreleased album titled ''Chalk Pie'', which was scrapped after it had been bootlegged. The cover art for the album shows the classic Droodle, by artist Roger Price (from which the album gets its name), whose shapes also suggest the letters 'ZA' (and 'P', sideways), as in 'Zappa'. The song "Drowning Witch" is one of the most complex instrumentals that Zappa ever wrote, featuring musical quotations from ''The Rite of Spring'' by Stravinsky and the ''Dragnet'' TV theme. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
