Hot Rats

I also played Hot Rats last night! I usually play the LP, but I decided to check out the CD version again. I still prefer the LP mix. GREAT album!

I like the extended tracks on the CD. The album takes on more of a flow.

"Hot Rats" is only one of two FZ I own (other is "Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar") and I do love it. Can't stand to listen to any other album of his. Maybe one or two songs on many of them, but overall album to album, his releases are not my cup of tea.

Rockadanny - If you are liking SU&PYG, do check out "Trance Fusion" on YouTube. Someone uploaded the whole thing. Nothing but FZ guitar solos that he apparently selected (first and last reportedly Dweezil, however). "Frank Zappa Guitar" might also work for you . Along with Hot Rats, I really enjoy Burnt Weenie Sandwich and Chunga's Revenge Weasel's Ripped to a less extent. Definitely prefer instrumental Zappa to Zappa w/lyrics. Good call on FZ, Pops.

Thanks Ghosthouse - awesome! I will check out your recommendations. For me, when it comes to FZ, less talk/more guitar is always favored.
