Hot Rats

None of the tunes I named are on Hot Rats... the post took a stab at listing a few tracks from other albums that anyone who likes Hot Rats would probably enjoy.

Actually, Twenty Small Cigars is. But I should have paid attention to what followed Blessed Relief in your post. My bad, my apologies!

For you folks that enjoy instrumental Zappa (Ghost and others), you should check out "Imaginary Diseases". Released from the vaults in 2007, it is a collection of jazz influenced live instrumentals recorded during Zappa's 1972 tour. It features the fantastic "petit wazoo" brass section. The tunes were selected and mastered by Zappa himself, just never released. It has grown to be one of my favorite Zappa albums.

Max - I will definitely check that out. Hadn't heard of it but it sounds exactly like something I'd enjoy. THANKS.

...Twenty Small Cigars is not on Hot Rats...it is on Chunga's Revenge tho'.
...Petite Wazoo is a good Archival disc. The Jean Luc Ponty plays the music of Frank Zappa record also features some pretty spiff playing and compositions.
