Re: The Frank Zappa thread
Thought I had pretty much everything the wonderful musician that he is had produced, but stumbled on this from 1973. It is long and a bit 'prog rock' but it contains one of his best guitar solos in my estimation. Hair on the back of the neck stuff - for me anyway. Patience required but worth every minute.

Re: The Frank Zappa thread
Rollo was a longish piece that never had a proper studio recording. It got partly absorbed into St Alphonzo's Breakfast

Re: The Frank Zappa thread
It is not too expensive and a couple of the choral songs are sung well. Two classical pieces are new. Lacks Volman and Kaylan and thus, humor.

Re: The Frank Zappa thread
Not planning to replace all my Zappa CDs, but got the 2012 versions of Hot Rats and Chunga's Revenge. These resemble the old LPs I had better than the 1987 CD releases, used up till 2012. Those were on Ryko. If you noted oddities, might be a fix. The label of the 2012 says Zappa records.

Re: The Frank Zappa thread
I thought I had heard all of Zappa's output, but not this.
Perhaps for fans only - and guitar geeks?
