Are you are interested in trading FZ's music and want to be listed in this guide? I invite you to cut 'n' paste the form below into your mail program, fill it out, and return it to me at cheepnis AT cheepnis D0T com
(To prevent SPAM, you need remove any spaces and replace AT with @ and D0T with . before you can send this mail). Be sure to contact me for updates to your listing as well. Outdated links and invalid e-mails will cause your listing to be removed!

If you don't wish to be listed now, I invite you to bookmark this page anyway, as you might like to return to it someday.

Is there a dead link on this site? Please let me know! The more up-to-date and accurate this resource is, the better for all of us.

Name: (real name, please - it adds legitimacy to this effort and to your trade-worthiness)
E-Mail: (...this should go without saying...)
Web Address: (where you have your have/want list(s). If you don't have a website to link to, attach your have/want list in plain-text-ascii format to your reply and I'll host it for you - just as sent. Nothing fancy since I don't have time to edit it, but at least it'll be posted)
Geographical Region: (USA/Canada, Central/South America, Europe/Russia, Asia, Australia, Africa, Middle East)
Willing to trade outside own region? (y/n)
Formats Available: (CDR/Cassette/SHN/Video-DVD or NSTC or PAL or what)
Do you offer other bands for trade?: (yes or no only - I don't wish to call down the wrath of BobDylanesque lawyers, so I won't list other bands here)
Newby Support: (do you provide a way for people to get recordings if they have none to offer in exchange, such as trading for blanks - B&P, etc...?)
Song and Dance: (write your <20 word sales pitch here)

<soapbox> I fully support the right of the Zappa family to profit from the creative output that Frank's genius has left them with. So should you. Please buy all the commercially available compact discs (from www.zappa.com or here or anywhere else legit) to help show that allowing fans to trade their shows will not impact their record sales.

And finally, while this is not a rule, consider it a favor to all us perfectionists, please DO NOT trade MP3 files or CDRs made from them!!! MP3 is a "lossy" format and degrades the quality of everything it touches. It pollutes the trading community! If you wish to trade digital files, please check out the lossless "Shorten" format, SHN at ETree </soapbox>

Update April 5, 2004: The site has been incorporated into my original FZ trade site. This was done due to the low level of daily activity the site received. Those wishing to maintain the full page version may use the following link: http://www.cupandblade.com/cheepnis/zappa/traders.html.

Update November 9, 2002: The site has moved to www.zappatrade.com. Be sure that you bookmark this new location as the old hosting domain will no longer be valid.

Update August 16, 2002: In order to make the list as easy to use as possible, I am restricting the "Song and Dance" section to about 20 words. Those of you that originally had longer text may noticed that I took liberties with your wording in order to trim it down. If you hate what my editing produced and would like to reword it differently, please write me with your new 20 words and I'll insert it exactly as sent.
