Edited into The True Story of Frank Zappa's 200 Motels (1988) (V)

Some great bits

The highlights are Frank's solos on "Stevie's Spanking" and "St. Etienne" and of course, anything Frank says. Some of the early Mothers segments are rather disturbing. Probably the most entertaining segment is his testimony to Congress (highly recommended.)
