Solid track list for Days of Yore:

2. Uncle Meat
3. Eye of Agamotto [misspelled as "Agamoto"] [Don Preston]

4. My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama
5. Clap & Vomit [audience participation]
6. Dickie's Such an Asshole

Track 1 is a jazz-waltz piece that later appeared on the first Grandmothers album, credited to Don Preston. The Eye of Agamotto is a magical amulet belonging to the Marvel Comics character Dr. Strange. Track 6 is a filler track from the Deutschlandhalle, Berlin, 14-Sep-1974.

The Mothers of Invention Appleton Album issue was a 200-copy edition, with "gimmick covers" housing the first 80. At least some runs had hand-sprayed titles on the cover. Some covers had a 1972-era picture of Zappa wearing a "buffoon hat" and the text "Volume one includes the first public performance of My Guitar and Uncle Meat [both had actually been played eariler] more four previously unreleased tracks. Limited first edition of 200 copies (first 80 have a special gimmix cover). Volume two is coming soon. [sic]".

(This is a track list we used to display for Gas Mask, which may be wrong:

1. Eye of Agamotto
2. My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama
3. Clap & Vomit [audience participation]
4. The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque
5. Hungry Freaks, Daddy
6. The Return of the Son of the Hunchback Duke
7. The Story of "A Pound for a Brown on the Bus" [Guild Hall, Portsmouth, 05-Jun-1969])

Appleton Volume 2

Label: Angry Taxman Records ATR 016

The cover has a 1969 photo of Frank Zappa smoking a cigarette and wearing "a jugglers hat". 200 copies made. The record includes:

* Hungry Freaks, Daddy
* The Return of the Son of the Hunchback Duke (Medley: Little House I Used to Live in)
* Help, I'm a Rock
* King Kong

and more. From Jed A Harris:

You might be interested to know that Frank often referred to this concert. I saw him in Beloit and in Greenbay and both times the first thing he said was "Is there anybody here from Appleton?". At the Beloit concert (Flo & Eddie period) he went on to say that he didn't know why it was, but the two concerts he did in Appleton were two of the best performances that the band ever gave.
