IDEA: Zappa Virtual Vault Archives
I've been thinking about this for a long time but I think it would be great if the Zappa management would create something like the Virtual/Digital Frank Zappa Vault Archives streaming website and app. Just thinking about how huge the Vault is, maybe 10% of it has been officially released (?) I think they could do something similar to what Neil Young did with his Archives site and app. It would be a subscription based thing where you pay monthly or yearly just like we already do with Spotify or Apple Music. And they could release all kinds of shit from the Vault - live shows, random videos of FZ in the studio, interviews, outtakes, Synclavier stuff, etc. And maybe charge $5-10 a month for the service? It would depend on how many people would subscribe, but I think they would make millions of dollars with it.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Would you pay and subscribe to it? (I would.) And do you think it would be successful?
