Peaches En Regalia

I remember buying a used copy of Hot Rats...and couldn't wait for the bus to get me home.Frank and albums like this plugged the gap.

...I got to see Frank in 1978 in London...the last consecutive night of 5....I got shitfaced and hitched home a day later.
Zoot Allures is my all time fave.
The humour here though-

Disco Boy.

Not forgetting what a bloody great guitar player Frank was (just nabbed this)

"Don't Eat The Yellow Snow" was my ticket in. "Tinseltown Rebellion" made me want to acquire the rest of Frank's overture. Now I have 205 Frank Zappa albums.
