It may not be the best or the most famous work of the English band, but it has always been my favorite...

Whether it's the band's masterpiece and the pinnacle of British folk, I'm not sure; I only own this album by the group in question, and I must say it's a great work. "Farewell, Farewell," "Crazy Man Michael," the central medley are exceptional, just like Danny's great voice...

Fleetwood Mac: Then Play On

Absolutely my favorite album by the early Fleetwood, featuring "Oh Well" and "Rattlesnake Shake," where Green is in great shape and you can feel it. Kirwan and Spencer, however, are no less impressive on the guitars, great album...

    Here, this is what I’m missing. I have the first one, "English Rose" (the collection with several unreleased tracks, the one with a horrifying Fleetwood on the cover :D) and that half solo one from "Rumors". But I’ll make it right; I want this, Mr. Wonderful, and some Live. Anyway, you say: "Absolutely my favorite album from the early Fleetwood" and so it seems it's also your favorite in general from the band :D

    Hell.. congratulations on the choice, "Rattlesnake Shake" is a hard-blues track that transcends genre when listened to, a stunning piece, dense with groove; I recommend everyone to listen to it at high volume if possible. The only downside is that it's too short, often a hallmark of beautiful songs.

    Oh yes, my favorite of the UNIQUE Fleetwood I know, then they transformed into a million-dollar pop band which has nothing to do with these guys, it's a whole different thing! (even though Rumors is part of my collection but I've only listened to it a couple of times). Mr. Wonderful is also great, no doubt, definitely all worth having and discovering. As for Rano, I see that you appreciate Play and the beautiful Rattlesnake too; listening to it at high volume is a must, thank you...

Little to say about this timeless masterpiece. Six tracks, each more beautiful than the last, that are relatively easy to listen to compared to his other excellent works as well. Chapeau.

    "...that are listened to with relative ease..." how can I not agree with you. Great hellraiser recovery and I also say Chapeau to the guy from Baltimore.

    I'm not an expert on Zappa; I only have a few solo albums like those with the Mothers, but I really enjoyed this one again while relaxing on the beach last week, and it's always an excellent disc.

    Also because knowing and owning ALL of our discography, including official and posthumous albums, totals ONE HUNDRED albums…. And I say again, Chapeau.

    I own ALL of Frankino's discography... however, I was 'talking' about it with Psychopathia recently, some of the latest releases are lowbrow operations by the 'family' trying to bleed dry what's left from the husband-father's corpse without an ounce of decency... I understand The Love & the Respect for the beloved and the artist, but you can't just publish all the material that’s remained in the bottom drawer of the cabinet that's hidden in the garage under a meter of dust... it’s not the right thing to do, and rather than adding, it takes away... I don’t know if I’m making myself clear, as the parachute said.

    Hi Inox, I completely agree. The same goes for Hendrix, they only have to release a record of his farts from '67, they can't exploit great artists like that...
  • De...Marga...
    26 aug 14
    @inox: but all originals or also something that’s burned/downloaded? The same crude argument applies, perhaps even more, to the noble soul of Jeff Buckley. I’m tired of seeing the auditions, the demos, the recordings of his only released album, that masterpiece Grace...

    all original on vinyl and cd (sic)... I started out as a kid back in '81 with the double Tinseltown, but I never intended to become a collector, especially since at that time I was mainly listening to other music; over the years, I became a Zappa maniac and slowly collected all the works I had missed along the way. In my humble opinion, out of the thirty or so released posthumously, about ten are worth saving, but only if you're as much of a fanatic as I am, the rest is 'folklore' as someone once said... you're absolutely right about what you say, there's been the same sad speculation with Hendrix, J. Buckley, and others, but it should be us ignoring their releases... I vowed not to buy anything more from the Zappa family... we'll see if I can resist ;-)

    I only own about thirty of his CDs. Of course, Inox is right, even though I haven't bought all the live albums by the Zappa family; I often receive them as gifts for Christmas/birthdays. Nevertheless, they have released quite a few. Some, like Roxy by Proxy, I really enjoy. But is it really necessary to have more concerts in the coming years? What more do they add?

    action! there had already been beautiful live recordings published (and of great value) while Zappa was alive; if you don't want all the live ones, just get the 6 episodes of You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, fantastic and comprehensive.

This morning, a dear friend of mine showed up at my house. We've never exchanged gifts in thirty years, and he brought me this album as an Easter gift, which adds to my little Zappa collection. I find it wonderful; everything is here: imagination, technique, genius. I would like to know your impressions, as many of you are more informed than I am; anyone who wants to share news, curiosities, and opinions, I thank you. (Just for the record, I reciprocated by buying him the vinyl today, found at a good price.)

    For me, this is the peak of Zappa. Avant-garde, collage, highbrow and popular genres, experimental moments and silly tunes mixed together, with a spirit that's more "rock" compared to "Freak Out!" (the first electric solo from Francone). A tremendously beautiful album, light years ahead of so many things (it was only 1967). For me, it’s insane. A masterpiece. No curiosities, though, except that the album itself is one big curiosity :)

    I believe the title of the work says it all; the genius of Baltimore remains one of those musical figures who, in my view, have the gift of genius embedded in their DNA. Allow me to add one of his peculiarities that once again demonstrates the enormity of the character: at the end of the concerts, easy to imagine the duration and complexity, it was his habit to gather the band and remind each musician of any individual mistakes made on scores that contained thousands of notes. He had a terrifying musical memory....how my blood pressure rises when I read comments about Frank that are not exactly flattering.

Like many other great artists of those years, Zappa also pays tribute to the famous Fillmore East, which will soon close its doors, with one of his characteristic, eccentric, and genius performances. His guitar work is outstanding, featuring excellent musicians and the participation of Don Preston, superb on the mini-moog in "Lonesome Electric Turkey." A great listen.

    But why did they close the Fillmore East if all these big names were going there? (I could look it up, but I'm super lazy, so if someone tells me, that would be better).

    I have no idea, it seems to me they only closed the East in New York while Graham kept the West in San Francisco and the Winterland open... I don't know more...

Debut from 1968 for the English band, good songs but not yet at the level of the later albums. Still a great listen...

A good album for the English quartet, certainly in my opinion much inferior to the previous "Fire & Water" and "Tons of Sobs," but it contains at least some great tracks such as "The Stealer" and "Ride On a Pony," true classics of the hard-blues band. Frequent arguments and Kossoff's self-destructive tendencies ultimately delivered the final blow.

Great debut album for the Detroit band, 1970. Compact and energetic rock/rock blues, featuring one of the best versions of the traditional "House of the Rising Sun," instrumental and distorted, abrasive, and with a great impact...

    I'll take care of it, hellraiser; so, as I've already said and written a thousand times with Fugazi, wherever you fish, you fish well anyway. This is the fourth album, released in 1995. I only tell you to listen to the track that opens everything... Do you like me...
