While you're waiting for the ZPZ tour bus to arrive, check out the DVD in the Classic Album Series - Apostrophe (') / Over-Nite Sensation - due 1 May 007 and the TV presentation should be up by then as well. Just the way Zappa made it in the studio with a little Freak Out! and some Hot Rats on the side. Yum!

Trendmonger's Moment Of Clarity

FZ "Read It And Weep"
April 17,1981

Frank Zappa left the ZFT in Control of his Vaults and Artistic rights.
We the fans are not in control. We have a choice to use our eyes and ears or read it and weep.

The first Zappa album I ever heard was: 'The Mothers Of Invention:Weasel's Ripped My Flesh' from 1970.
Talk about being thrown in the deep end!!!.
I rather like 'Us & Them' & 'The Mothers Of Prevention' but I think anyone new to Zappa's music should probably listen to:

'Absolutely Free'

Simply because it may have been his finest hour!!!.

My tip is to get yourself around two to three hundred dollars and just buy as many as you can find. That's what I did! Now look at me! I'm broke!

Plus, as Trendy said, get some visual representation.

But as consensus says: they are all good to great for different reasons.

Just go with Weasels Ripped My Flesh as a first listen.

_________________

I'll deviate and say either 'Joe's Garage', 'Uncle Meat' or 'Burnt Weeny Sandiwich'.

I like Franks live discs as a good sampler...

Make A Jazz Noise Here is what I recommend my music obsessed buddies as a first one, and they seem to want more Zappa after that....

The Grand Wazoo is another great one, as is Hot Rats.

my 1st four were grand wazoo, hot rats, fillmore e, then overnight sensation was released

APOSTREPHE
HOT RATS
SHUT UP AND PLAY YOUR GUITAR
ZAPPA IN NY
BUFFALO

You Can't Do That Onstage Anymore volumes 1-6 have a little bit of almost everything and is another great place to start.

Absolutely Free

First five FZ albums you should get, in my opinion:

Burnt Weeny Sandwich
Weasels Ripped My Flesh
One Size Fits All
You Are What You Is
YCDTOSA ll: Helsinki Concert

If these five albums should leave you cold, FZ is not your kind of music, even if that is incomprehensible for us regular FZ fans.

That's the more close choice as mine.

with out a doubt it would be Joes Garage 1-3.but then theres my WWW too.check it out.it would behove you. Darth out

I've been a fan since Freak Out was issued and when people ask which album they should listen to I say "all of 'em".

With all, u are overloaded.

If u only want to know who is Frank i think 10 cds is enough.

Am i right?
