Frank Zappa - We're Only In It For The Money. LP. (Rykodisc - RYKD10503) Exact repro down to the gatefold sleeve of this legendary 1967 masterpiece from the Mothers who had a fun time having a pop at just about everyone and everything to do with flower power, drugs and hippy clothes! Features the original mix (not Zappas later remix) Worth admission price for the cover alone which makes fun of Sgt. Peppers. A total classic.

Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial /Best Of. Dble LP. (Rykodisc - 40500) Does everything it says on the tin and more although one could say a man who recorded 60+ albums cannot be represented on a double album!Think of this more as a scratching the surface comp and a great place to start.This very limited gatefold vinyl (numbered) version contains 3 tracks which were not included on the CD .Each copy has a tiny cut hole.

Frank Zappa - FZ : OZ. 3-LP. Virtually complete concert from January 1976 in Sydney Australia (the final time Frank played in Oz). Superb sound quality (the album was produced by his son Dweezil) makes this the best live document of the 76 world tour. Guest appearance by Aussie comedian Norman Gunston (he plays a mean harmonica!) and great material covering everything from "I Ain't Got No Heart" through to traditional set-closer "Muffin Man". There's even two versions (live and studio) of a song ("Kaiser Rolls") unavailable anywhere else. A beautiful package and ultra-limited, so be quick!!!

Frank Zappa - Dub Room Special. DVD. (Eagle Rock - EREDV375) Yippeeeeeeeee!! At last, after years of bootlegging and inferior versions, we proudly present, for the first time ever on Region 0 PAL disc, this classic Zappa special, premiered as a documentary at the New York Ritz Theater in 1984, with audio remixed into stereo. Comprised of two live sets: the 1981 show from the New York Palladium, and a set from KCET Studios in December 1974 for the TV show 'A Token Of His Extreme', and intercut with the legendary animation of Bruce Bickford (who had worked on 'Baby Snakes'), this is 97 minutes of prime Uncle Frankie at his best. The lineups are to die for: the 1974 band features George Duke, Ruth Underwood (whose marimba and vibes more or less 'created' the sound of the Mothers during their classic period), Chester Thompson (Weather Report/ Genesis) Tom Fowler and Napoleon Murphy Brock, whereas the 1981 band pits FZ alongside Steve Vai, Tommy Mars, Ed Mann, Ray White, Scott Thunes, Bobby Martin and Chad Wackerman. And as for the tunes: 'Dog Breah Variations' 'Uncle Meat' 'Room Service' 'Cosmic Debris' 'Montana' 'Florentine Pogen' 'Stevie's Spanking' 'Stinkfoot' 'Flakes' 'Inca Roads' 'Easy Meat' and more. Stop drooling at the back- you can start when we've finished. . .
