^ I haven't heard the up-dated version, I have an original (?) blue Verve label U.S. pressing. Always thought the Wah solo in SUTC was out of place (in a fine way). I'm not a fan of Doo-Wop but I love Ruben - go figure.......
Love Of My Life, Deseri, Later That Night, Fountain Of Love - all superb songs. Doo-Wop doesn't get much better. And of course, things like Grand Wazoo, Waka/Jawaka Ship Arriving Too Late etc. are just mind-blowing, but Uncle Meat has it all for me. Funny how I've had a few Zappa LP's in my collection since the late-80's, but never actually followed him up until the last few years, where I've since amassed 35 Zappa/Mothers LP's now !! Never hear much talk of Bongo Fury. Yeah, Beefheart isn't many folk's idea of tasteful, but he adds so much character to that album. |

Yes you are correct, given a chance I think most would be surprised. My fav off crusin would be Stuff Up The Cracks love how the wah wah kicks in at the end of whats meant to be a 50's parody record, have a Uk reissue vinyl version - the original is much better than the CD remix/ overdub Edited by EddieRUKiddingVarese - September 02 2016 at 06:17 |

^ Sweet
Most of my fave tunes are off Uncle Meat. I also find Ruben quite charming - esp. Deseri. Very short, but just perfect. I'm certain, given a chance, Zappa can be appreciated by the entire population. At least, I think so.......... |

Finally got a copy of 200 Motel The Suites- very hard to Find in Oz.
Went to JB HiFi in Adelaide Oz and they worked that some guy had ordered a copy (special import) in there Elizabeth Store thinking he had ordered the original album and did not pick it up as was not what he wanted. Net result lucky me got it for $37 Oz bucks yeah now have release 101. |

An album I am listening to more these days that is not on your list is Broadway the Hard Way. Great disc - the horn section on this and the other two accompanying discs (Make a Jazz Noise Here and The Best Band...) is to die for...

He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore
