My favorite Frank Zappa - Mothers of Invention album, all here in CD format. I wore out the LP, I wore out the cassette and now I can CALL ANY VEGETABLE to and from my cozy office job any day I want. What a life! Flo & Eddie return with their Turtles-like harmonies on EDDIE,ARE YOU KIDDING and I just might skip work and be off with my Canadian beauty MAGDALENA. It's funny, it's entertainment ala 1972, it's Zappa with a great group of musicians live in concert. Ethel, yessssssssss? We're going on vacation!
I have looked for this album "Just Another Band from LA" since I lost my cassette tape of it moving back from Rota Spain. Billy the Mountain is worth the time I had to put in to find the CD on eBay. To hear the description of Studebaker Hawk getting flies to carry him to confront Billy and Ethel is a timeless interlude. Call Any Vegetable is one of the classics. Magdalena is wonderful to hear again also. Definitely worth the eBay auction cost and shipping.
Fillmore East aka the White Album had us raunch hungry teens ( I was fifteen/sixteen ) in stitches for play after play back when it came out. The follow up kept the ball rolling. Recently, I bought it on CD and was shocked at what I found funny back then. Still, it's great and boasts a fantastic band. I especially like the version of Call Any Vegetable. Zappa had an knack for updating his older material in live versions that for me surpassed the originals at times. The irony in the title is obvious: JUST ANOTHER BAND FROM LA? Yeah,right!
Good quality, very happy
