🎛 Original

Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch follows the same satirical line as the previous records.

Point to tracks as "Valley Girl" recorded with his daughter, Moon Zappa, who became a great success on the charts, and another very interesting track from my favourites, "Teen Age Prostitute", a type of opera rock.

This album has a very peculiar mastering, making it have instructions to listen on a normal hi-fi and is referenced by Zappa on the cover:

This album has been engineered to sound correct on JBL 4311 speakers or an equivalent. Best results will be achieved if you set your pre-amp tone controls to the flat position with the loudness control in the off position. Before adding any treble or bass to the sound of the album, it would be advisable to check it out this way first.

🎛 Original
Features: Double Album, Gatefold sleeve.

Here is another popular Zappa record. Catchy tracks and sarcastic humour.
At this point, Zappa is disfragmenting his music into different sections.
The tracks published from this point on are sarcastic, fun, easy to listen to, but always in his own way.

The complex, orchestral music is being channelled into different albums, and we will see classic orchestral albums coming out alongside the most popular releases, such as this one.

This is a very good album and one of the most popular in Zappa's career. It will make you smile from start to finish. ;)

9:55pm Eat That Question by Frank Zappa from The Grand Wazoo
#FrankZappa #EatThatQuestion #TheNightside #KUVO

I don’t want to say #FrankZappa is a brilliant lyricist, but he is brilliant at committing to a really dumb lyric and sticking to the rhyme scheme while vamping on that one weird though.

Bufo Borealis: a mistura de punk, skate e instrumental

🎧 Band: Frank Zappa
💿 Album: Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar
📅 Date: 1981
🌍 Country: Europe
🏷 Label: CBS 66368
🎛 Features: 3 x vinyl Box Set Limited Edition

This is a three vinyl box set, originally released as individual albums.
- Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar
- Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Some More
- Return of the Son of Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar

These are all guitar instrumental tracks. No orchestrals, no famous songs... only guitar from live performances between 1977 and 1980. Zappa carefully selected and edited these improvisations into complete pieces, creating one of the finest showcases of his guitar playing.

Personally, I have never been a great fan of Zappa's guitar solos. They can go for too long, and Zappa was very technical when it came to playing guitar solos. He uses a different approach to his solos, having the whole band follow him, rather than the usual rhythmic guitar solos other bands do.
I like the melodic guitar solos more, hence my preference goes for Mike Oldfield when it comes to guitar performers.
Then again, even Jimmy Carl Black from the Mothers once said in a documentary that Zappa was not a great guitarist when he joined the Mothers.

This box set might be a challenging listen, but it is a treat for Zappa's guitar fans.

Got this box set not too long ago. Particularly because there are some good guitar solos, and particularly the in-between tracks have the same type of intro as he did on Läther, Joe Garage and Thing Fish.
It's a nice box to have if you like rock guitar solos.
