This was one of the first Zappa records I bought, back in ‘93 or so (which I actually picked up so I could hear “Peaches en Regalia”, after seeing Phish cover it). The kid who bought this record could never have been prepared for the monster that purchase would create. Thirty years later I am still digesting this catalogue.
While I can’t be certain if this was my first Zappa encounter, it was definitely my introduction to the Flo & Eddie incarnation of the Mothers, of which this is a pristine example. “Billy The Mountain” may be this lineup’s pinnacle but the whole “Mud Shark” narrative is where this lineup found its purpose
