    Anyone have a fold out insert they'd like to sell, sing out.

    (If you're reading this, I'm still looking - will remove the comment when I have one!)

      very nice mastering from original tapes, the cover hs been scanned from the very first original photograph

        A milestone LP which has probably stimulated more debate amongst my friends over the years than any other. Some hate it with a ion, some love it with equal ion. Let's put it like this ... you will never ever forget what it sounds like once you've heard it!
        Crazy poems, even crazier music; the brain child of Don van Vliet, pouring forth his mind undiluted and straight through his harangued musicians and producer Frank Zappa.
        The bizarre thing is it sounds and has been previously argued that none of the band could play their instruments. I have seen The Magic Band and let me tell you - these guys can play! Note for note! Amazing musicians all...
        If you love formulaic blues re-re-hashed a zillion times over AVOID...
        If you are prepared to OPEN up your mind, this little fella will blow it clean out of your cranium and when it finally returns home nothing will ever be the same again.
