Recommendations
Reviews
-
Edited 11 months agoOh yes indeed, brilliant sound and pressing, a recommended issue, the Dutch one!
-
Theis is a beautiful Europian (Holland) pressing and sounds great. -
In what seems a theologically-motivated editorial decision, the track 'Sex' has been replaced with 'The Black Page' (possibly from the release 'FZ in NY'). And, ironically considering the anti drug message of the song, 'Cocaine decisions' has lost it's 'cocaine'. No matter, 'Jazz discharge party hats' - arguably among the most obscene songs in the Zappa catalogue - is still on here. That's the problem with censors. They don't know much about music, but they know what they don't like!
-
The cover art and "alphabet" is by the famous Italian comic book artist tanino Liberatore! -
I wouldn't have expected to like a 1980s Zappa record this much, but considering that Zappa is largely performing the vocals on this one, it's quite enjoyable. And a lot of great tracks too! Cocaine Decisions, Dangerous Kitchen, Stick Together. And one of my favourite Zappa songs of all time is "We Are Not Alone". It would have been cool to see Zappa play the ARP 2600. I wonder exactly where it shows up on this album?
