This is the Studio Version of "Czar" from the album "Frank Black" released in 1993.

second one is electric:

[Side Note]
***************************
For this part Frank kind of
slides his finger instead of
using different fingers chromatically.
So on the 9th, 10th and 11th
frets he uses his third finger
(Ring Finger) to do so.
