**Latest News:
To mark Jimmy's 85 birthday on Feb 2 2023, a revised 1st Edition Paperback has been published and is available on Amazon websites internationally
[Kindle e-book and Smashwords versions are included in these updates]
So, the two lists of corrections below are now relevant to the 1st Edition Paperback only, that is: printed before April 10th 2023.
|
|
Page 63 Chapter 5 | Graphic should read: ‘See Note 41’, tho’ Note 40 is also appropriate |
Page 154 Chapter 10 Powell’s Liquor Store | Last line should read: ‘still |
Page 186 Chapter 13 Kludget Sound Studios | Should read Kludgit Sound Studio |
Page 212 Chapter 17 [sorry, big mistake!] | ‘Grandmothers 1st Tour: May ’93’ – This should read (late) June ’93, which places this episode after ‘Jack and Jim in the UK: June ’93’ |
Page 260 Chapter 20 | Should read ‘Chenney’s Hunting Ducks’ |
|

Page 50 Notes to Chapter 4 Note 38 | Should read: ‘[But see: Note 29]’ |
Page 71 Notes to Chapter 5 Note 18 | Should read: ‘[See: Chapter 4 Note 41]’ |
Page 72 Notes to Chapter 5 Note 30 | Should read: ‘[See also: Note 33]’ |
Page 120 Notes to Chapter 7 Note 42 | Should read: ‘Of E.L.P. fame’ |
Page 190 Notes to Chapter 13 Note 26 | Should read: …[Ref: unitedmutations.com/g/grandmothers] |
Page 226 Notes to Chapter 17 Note 4 | Should read: JCB actually says 15 years here so this suggests this chapter dates to around 1994 |
Page 263 Notes to Chapter 20 Note 9 | Should read: ‘Both CDs released on Inkanish Records, 2002’ |
Also a discrepancy: In 1968, Jimmy meets ‘Marianne’ in Stockholm. She is at the 1969 festival in Central Park, where her name is spelt ‘Maryanne’. Take your pick. Interestingly enough, Zappa seems to mention her in an interview in 1969, but calls her Shirley Ann or Shirley Anne or…
[This discrepancy cannot be amended unless the girl herself comes forward!]
A Note: According to one early reviewer of the 1st printed edition, the "Recollections" (Part 4) are riddled with typos. The "editors" are duely chastised for their lax proofing! Sorry though we are for the typos listed above, there are no more than in your average 1st edition, are there? (March 20015)
Oops again! There is a spelling mistake in the various new (2023) editions of Jimmy's Memoirs. So who's going to be the first to spot it? It's a missing umlaut!
So, a free Hardback copy of Jimmy's book (including post) to the one who spots the missing umlaut! Just email Moni at moniblack@jimmycarlblack.com
If by chance you spot another mistake in Jimmy's book, do let us know.
