Earlier this year some of Ed's property was auctioned off by Julien's. He had two storage units that were bought by two different parties. A lot was sold on eBay. Some went to Julien's. Disclaimer, I know him a bit and have a bunch of mutual friends. I was in communication with the buyer and was trying to get his audio recordings. My goal would have been to preserve and share. The person in possession decided to go with Julien's and let them take everything and auction it off. The auction was happening while I was busy and I was really confused because the only auction that seemed to have audio recordings appeared to be missing all of his analog tapes. Which was what was most interesting. Lots of 70's and 80's Zappa rehearsals, gigs, interviews. This whole thing just saddens me for various reasons. I think the interesting audio recordings were cherry picked out and not auctioned. I had an email or two with Julien's and they indicated there were no analog cassettes in the lot (413) but there certainly where in the collection. Just wondering now that some months have gone by, if anyone happens to have any insight.
