Which Zappa are you currently spinning?*

Whilst we're on the subject Teddy Bears Picnic is also quoted at the end of Planet of the Baritone Women - but you knew that!

Indeed they did - here's a great website (if you've not seen it already) that contains tons of info on such matters IINK

 

Yes, Roman's website is great.

 

Frank Zappa concert tape: Nov 3, 1975 - Philadelphia.

If I read the notes right, this one has circulated in crappy condition for a long time, but a nice one has turned up. It sounds great to me.

Joe's Menage is a 45 min official release of Nov 1, 1985. But this Nov 3 show has almost two hours.

 

Hot Rats

 

Tonight it's my recently acquired vinyl version of 'We're Only in it For the Money'

 

Joe's Menage was only the middle third of a typical show from that tour. A strange choice to release, I think, but I have read from Joe that they don't have many tapes of that band in the vault.

 

Chicago 78

This has quietly become my favorite live FZ album.

Or at least a Top Three finalist.

 

Quietly? Jeez, I hope not.

 

Greasy Love Songs. Just got this one a few weeks ago.

 

...been playing FZ:OZ a lot this week. Really digging the 5-piece band. Zappa shreds as per usual.

 

Bongo Fury. Side 2.

 

On my birthday wish list I gave to the Missus. How does it sound? I have an original, but it's pretty torn up.

 

This week, it's been Make a Jazz Noise Here.

 

"If you go out in the woods today,
you better not go alone!"

 

I've been in major You Are What You Is mode lately. Love this album.

 

One of my new favorites, very raw in a good way!

 

The record is flat, silent and sounds very good indeed. Well, it was mastered by Bernie Grundman using the 1993 digital master.
I hope your missus gives you a happy birthday.

 

Disc 1: We're Only In It For The Money (mono)

 

I am into the new concert releases.
Zappa Wazoo is outstanding.
Just picked up FZOZ.
It is an Austrailian show from 1978.
These have great SQ and great performances.

 

Just got this recently. Really liking it.

 

Absolutely love this album !!!

 

I almost pulled the trigger on a CD set of Hammersmith today.
Can anyone offer opinions on this one...thanks.

 

It's a must.... IF, you're a "SY" fan....

 

I've owned this for about a month now in CD format. Currently on disc one(Original '69 Vinyl Mix) and "Uncle Meat Variations" is cued up. LOVE IT!!
