Frank Zappa (1963) from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.1" liner notes by Greg Russo: "The common theme here is that when Paul Buff and Frank Zappa did not release a record themselves, they licensed the record to whatever large record company was interested. The Vigah! label was created by Paul Buff to handle Buff/Zappa records that they could not initially place with the biggies. Vigah! was how President John F. Kennedy pronounced the word "vigor," and since the label's first release featured radio personality Brian Lord's JFK impression, it was a fitting start for the label. Zappa's "The Big Surfer" was the A-side, and featured an ending reference to the Peace Corps. After Buff and Zappa proved to Capitol Records that the record was hot (because they bought all the copies at local stores but didn't tell Capitol!), Capitol released the disc but recalled it after just two weeks when civil rights activist Medgar Evers was killed. The B-side was The Midnighters' "Not Another One!," which was Paul Buff and recent Pal associate Dave Aerni on guitar." brian lord and the midnighters the big surfer / not another one 1963 7" usa vigah 001 1963 7" usa capitol 4981 released 1963/05 on vigah the big surfer (frank zappa) not another one (dave aerni, paul buff) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
