I have a mate at work that has all his 60 or so albums and he played me the Apostrophe cd and I thought it was great !! in fact really interesting. I heard one of his earlier and latter day albums and was not so keen, but the mid 70's period to me sounds good even if I am a bit green on him !!

[dragster]

The man's a GENIUS!!!!

[kaztor (slight return)]

Ain't this the coolest shirt !!!

I want that.

[DoubleNecker]

Zappa wappa nappa tappa? Yes indeedy, mr. deed.

I enjoy Frank a lot. He's badass. I've heard Apostrophe ('), Hot Rats, The Grand Wazoo, We're Only In It For The Money, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Uncle Meat (I love the hell out of this one), Weasels Ripped My Flesh (same here!), Imaginary Diseases, and You Can't Do That Onstage Anymore Vol. 2.

Frank was a genius. His time on earth was too short.

"This is where you go to find every aspect of Frank's music squeezed into two perfectly formed records." - Dweezil Zappa. This new addition to Eagle Vision's acclaimed Classic Albums series focuses on Frank Zappa's early-'70s albums OVERNITE SENSATION (1973) and APOSTROPHE (') (1974). Together they encapsulate Zappa's extraordinary musical diversity, and were also the two most commercially successful albums that he released in his prolific career. As ever, the program uses interviews, musical demonstrations, rare archive and home movie footage, plus live performances to tell the story behind the conception and recording of these groundbreaking albums.

Like Joelmon, I saw Zappa in 1975, only I saw him in Austin.

[Charles_Obscure]

Hi there...

I need some information about the new Wazoo cd, released on October 31...

I heard the audio clip on zappa.com, but there's not much information about it, except for the tracklist, which is delightful...

So, if someone could help me out on this issue...

Thank ya...

I watched that the other day, my mate at work lent me it and it was cool !! he saw him twice !!

I'm gonna be listening to Roxy & Elsewhere soon. Can't wait.

"Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around, but some stupid with a flare gun burnt the place to the ground....Smoke on the Water A fire in the sky"

Name checked in one of the greatest rock songs is no mean feat !!!

It's weird: I haven't read a THING in the Zep forums about Robert Plant (Planet!) being namechecked on the Fillmore East album... Perhaps you palls are a bit cynical about that one?

[DoubleNecker]

I hate to say it, but since I have no money, mostly all of my Zappa was downloaded. But my birthday is coming, I might get Weasels. If they don't have that, I'll think of another.

[DoubleNecker]

Did you listen to Roxy and Elsewhere yet ? That's gotta be tops for me...first time to see him and all...same band.

Not yet. Even though it's in R for my album project, I wont' be listening to it tonight. I can, but I don't want to. I'll listen to it tomorrow along with Cream at the Royal Albert Hall.

[DoubleNecker]

2005 show. I'd like to get the one you mentioned though.

[DoubleNecker]

Roxy & Elsewhere was pretty badass. This might become one of my favorite Zappa albums....I wish it wasn't so long, though.

[Charles_Obscure]

So...

Nobody can light my lantern about the new Wazoo cd??

[kaztor (slight return)]

That's an odd wish. I like that it's almost a full cd, afterall it was a double album.

Zappa albums can't be long enough.

Hell, I even think Läther's too short!

[DoubleNecker]

Sheik Yerbouti was pretty cool, but so far, I prefer Roxy & Elsewhere.

[MrsRobertPlant]

I absolutely love Frank Zappa. I'm so glad I have friends in my new school that actually KNOW who he is

I was working at the school store, and someone gave me a Montana quarter and I broke out in song. Brilliant!

I still love We're Only In It For the Money, ZOOT ALLURE!

[kaztor (slight return)]

Just finished reading this Zappa Bible again...

It's essential reading for every true fan!
