Description
The Grand Wazoo is a magnificent album of jazz-rock fusion, and the best piece in my opinion is "Blessed Relief". Hot Rats includes "Peaches En Regalia" which is considered the best song Zappa ever wrote. Most fans crave "Transylvania Boogie" and "Twenty Small Cigars" from Chunga's Revenge. 200 Motels has been described as Zappa's 'heaven's gate' because he used a full symphony orchestra. I like the more subtle pieces in the album in which he played his hard driving guitar mixed with the somewhat somber and moody classical sounds, but 'Mystery Roach' and 'Magic Fingers' is very lively, mainstream rock 'n roll. Overnite Sensation is from the period that George Duke acclaimed by saying '...what a fantastic band!', that includes himself, Jean Luc Ponty and Ruth and Ian Underwood in the line up. Some have criticized Waka Jawaka for its "petrified" sound but it includes a lot of ingredients that have a definite streak of genius to them.
All record albums are in excellent condition and show very light use. Covers are fair to good.
