When people here are saying "all of them" I assume they are saying all of them that were actually officially released on vinyl.

I have 37 vinyl FZ albums. I did at one time have all of them up until Broadway the Hard Way. I cannot fathom where the missing ones have gone. Soon after Broadway, I got myself a CD player and have not bought vinyl ever since.

Me too - all of them

I bought everything on vinyl before the age of CDs of course.

My first CD ever was DHBIM when it came out. I never bought anything on vinyl after the CD age started. The CD audio format technically is far superior to what a vinyl record can do (frequency range and dynamic range for instance). Unfortunately people started to ruin their already perfect masters sometimes when reworking them for CD reissues. Don't blame the CD format for those mistakes. Some people wrongly think that it is the analogue vinyl format that makes things sound better.

I've only started my Zappa vinyl collection last year and I already have covered pretty much everything from the main catalogue, apart from Them or Us, in one vinyl form or another...

EDIT: Not quiet true, before my Zappa LP binge I had bought me a few in the late 90s: Meets the Mothers of Prevention (European version, brand new Brazilian LP), Metal Man Has Won His Wings (LP Boot), Tinsel Town (brand new Brazilian LP)and maybe Jazz from Hell (second hand Brazilian LP).
