🎵 Spotted in a store yesterday … reminding me of the permanent loan of my vinyl collection to a friend in the UK.

@JohnPhilpin Willie the Pimp w/Cpt. Beefheart is the best track IMO.

@odd hard to choose faves because it depends on my mood at any moment - but funnily enough that one for me does not rate as high as many others on there - that said - STIFF competition.

I definitely paid a lot less for it ...

... but that is a premium price.

@JohnPhilpin If you enjoy late 60s Zappa I just removed the vocals (isn't AI wonderful?) from the Circle track on the Wild man Fischer album which leaves Zappa's multitrack noodling.

@JohnPhilpin Oh, wow! Not “nice price” exactly. I only had it as a CD, but I traded all my CD’s for some paintings by a local artist. Now I can only access it from Spotify, which by the way increased the subscription price by a dollar just now.

Panic Among the Streamers - by Ted Gioia ... which is a lot about Spotify.

@Dunk clever - and nice job - interesting to hear something like that 'in the nude'.

@odd a great reshare. I had - a long time ago - but always a great revisit. Often wonder what the people at the time really thought about it.

@JohnPhilpin I think I’ll “watch it” with my ears only. The video was to wild for my aging brain.

@JohnPhilpin Don Preston was not impressed. He held improvisation sessions at his house. The young Zappa occasionally joined them. They had a scratch percussion section - some old bins, a bit of railway track and.... a bicycle. Zappa would soon appear on TV playing... a bicycle. Hmmmm.
