I never knew “200 Motels-The Suites” was an actual release! I found a recording of a more recent performance by the BBC Symphony on YouTube and have been playing it a whole lot. Eager to get the CD (with a different, earlier performance by the LA Philharmonic).
Nice coincidence since I just picked up a nice vinyl copy of 200 Motels today. |

So many albums! Has anybody here listened to all of them?
(that's the most albums I've seen from an individual besides like Buckethead)

Just came across this old(ish) thread, I found it very handy for sorting a few of my Zappa titles that I did not have in quite the right spots chronologically. One question though, why is You Can't Do That vol. 3 in with the 1988 band? Shouldn't that be a bit earlier? Just curious, I may be missing something there.

Sorry, but the revised list contains 5 errors, but captcha doesn't allow me to access them, regardless of the browser I use. I'll try again later. In case you're wondering: there are 5 entries marked (RY), which have to be deleted. It stands for 'Ryko release'.
Ok, it worked, the list above is changed now. Captcha was just messing with me. Edited by npjnpj - April 29 2018 at 04:11 |

@unclemeat69: Cheers, I'll have to check on those. I'd completely forgotten about this list, and suddenly it pops up again.
For the moment though, I just revised the list by slotting in 3 entries, which are the new releases from the last 18 months or so. Edited by npjnpj - April 29 2018 at 03:56 |

Shouldn't Hot Rats come after Burnt Weeny Sandwich and/or Weasels Ripped My Flesh?
Some parts of BWS were recorded during the HR sessions (according to IINK) so it isn't clear. Apostrophe should come after the Roxy albums if only because the recording of the basic track of Yellow Snow is documented on the Roxy box set as starting after the shows. Roxy & Elsewhere should come after the other Roxy albums (because of the May 1974 tunes ie Trouble Every Day). |

Thanks, zravkapt, I just checked that, and my information was wrong. I'll change the list acordingly.

[QUOTE=npjnpj]@zravkapt: I don't believe so. Stage Anymore 2 was, according to credits, recorded sometime in 1974, whereas Roxy and Elsewhere was recorded on various dates in December 1974. It is possible, of course, but it seems unlikely that FZ crammed even more concerts into the very end of the year.
Edit: just found it. The Helsinki concert was recorded in September 1974. /QUOTE] Roxy was taken from two shows: one in 1973 and the other early 1974; that album has two drummers. The Helsinki concert features only one drummer and faster tempos of basically the same material. Helsinki came after Roxy.

Edit: just found it. The Helsinki concert was recorded in September 1974. @ EddieRUKiddingVares: it's actually the first one from those two. It must have snuck in somehow. I bought it in a small CD shop in Frankfurt when it was just released and wondered into my collection. Until you mentioned it I was under the impression it was an official release. Cheers.

Just realised 076 Transmissions

Dates for (especially) the posthumous and boots releases make no sense, because each track on an album could have a different one, and the album release dates are entirely irrelevant for this list. In fact, they would be blatently incorrect in this chronological context.
As for the regular releases: they can be looked up anywhere, including on this site. Edited by npjnpj - November 26 2016 at 16:25 |

Good list impressive - had me checking for some albums eg Finer Moments but it/ they were there
I wonder if Finer Moments was meant to be part of Zappa's originally planned 10 album set post original Mothers............. Edited by EddieRUKiddingVarese - November 26 2016 at 16:51 |
