🎛 Original
Features: Orchestral Album
Oh no, not again! Another change in Zappa's discography. This time we are talking about serious orchestral music! I mean... classical music.
Surprised? dont be... It's a Zappa all time achievement.
He was a big fan of Edgard Varèse from a very young age, and this record is only the beginning of his orchestral classical series.
The cover does not reveal the content... truth!
I have never been a big fan of Zappa's cover designs (sorry Cal Schenkel), but... really? An album of classical music with a cover that looks like a comics magazine?
Some really nice orchestral pieces on this record. I recommend a listen: "Strictly Genteel" from 200 Motels, "Duke Of Prunes" from Absolutely Free, and some other tracks remade from the 200 Motels album/Movie.
A nice piece of orchestral music with no lyrics that touches on the surreal at the edges.
Is this record a tuna sandwich?
(reference to "This Town Is A Sealed Tuna Sandwich" track from 200 Motels)
The cover and the content are like that... A Tuna Sandwich, but with some delicious pieces of salad inside! A favoured salad of orchestral tunas!
The 40th-anniversary 3-CD reissue includes much more content and many more standout tracks. I highly recommend it!
Shame the vinyl reissue has exactly the same tracks as the original album.
Original vinyl - 5 Tracks
Reissue vinyl - 5 Tracks
40th Anniversary 3 CDs - 26 Tracks
You Decide!
