    Looking through the "zappa help!" thread. Totally forgot that I predicted two of these.

    Wait, I must have missed that. Is Greasy Love Songs getting reissued now? Sweet!

    I'm still going to grab the 4-disc MOFO but it's good to know Greasy Love Songs is no longer going to be a white whale.

    I pre-ordered Greasy Love Songs from Amazon, and was surprised to see it had Auto-Rip. So I cam listen to the mp3s now while waiting for the CD.

    (I pre-ordered a few others, but none showed up as Auto Rip.)

    Gee, that's insane. Even for a crazy lad like me who bought the Pink Floyd box set at $500, those prices are simply inexcusable.

    I was merely adding onto your post with a courtesy link.
    And I added outrage at the flagrant price gouging by AmazonUK.;)

    Will these continue with the number's on the CD spines, because I don't want them messing my shelves up again.

    :winkgrin:
     
  16. Would be very interested in hearing back from anyone who preordered any from this latest batch whether or not they are remastered or straight reissue.

    I don't own any of these. Which ones should I pick up?

    Wow, I might actually finally buy FZ Plays the Music of FZ. That's always been a nagging omission in my collection, but I never could justify the $30 price tag from Barfko Swill.

    FZPlaysFZ is only 15.00, currently at Zappa store.
    Frank Zappa: Fz Plays Fz (UMRK)

    I know the old BarfkoSwill had oddball prices, but the latest Zappa store has become much more reasonable on a lot of items.

    I actually had kind of forgotten about that album's existence until I saw it on the upcoming releases list. I remember seeing it advertised on zappa.com in the late 90s and thinking it seemed like an awful lot to charge for half an album's worth of new material.

    I really feel sorry for anyone who orders the UK versions at those prices. Total joke - but some people will.
    Purchased Meat Light couple of weeks ago. £12.99 from Amazon delivered. Few weeks prior it was 3 times the price.

    I got a message from my local record shop today (a picture by whatsapp, actually). I received my copies of Buffalo, Philly '76, Carnegie Hall, One Shot Deal and Everything Is Healing Nicely. I might receive some others I ordered later in the week (Roxy By Proxy and some of the Joe's ____age series) :).

    A bunch of discs currently shipping from Amazon. "Roxy By Proxy" was pushed back a month for some unknown reason.
