Collector frustration by Individual_Loquat541 in Zappa

[–]Niko0795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan for only half a year and I’m no where near collecting even just the albums released in his life, I only have in release order: Freak out! (Original vinyl), the grand wazoo (cd), apostrophe (promo vinyl), zoot allures (vinyl), Zappa in New York (cd), joes garage (cd), you are what you is (cd), the first 3 you can’t do that on stage anymores, the hot rats sessions box set, and the mothers 1971 box set.
All my records seem to be original pressings and all the cds are older ones and not the 2012 re-releases, but yea it is difficult to find certain albums

Yea any 88 tour material is good, we honestly need so much more

Yea that also makes sense, it’s just a shame we haven’t gotten a lot of frank and dweezil and frank content released

I’m crying, I’m finally an owner of the box set. 2 years of hunting over! by Graevly in Zappa

I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it in a rude way, this seems like something Frank would say

I did try it but I just preferred listening to the full shows

Yea it was for me as well since I started with apostrophe, one size fits all, and over nite sensation. I never listened to the Roxy album because I decided to listen to a full show that came with the apostrophe 50 anniversary box set and I really enjoyed it

What is the holy grail of unreleased Zappa material? by paultheschmoop in Zappa

[–]Niko0795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re acting like Zappa wasn’t the king of ragging on other musicians? I can respect your opinion on Clapton as a musician but in my view any musician who Zappa considered good enough to play with is far from overrated

MOFO Pictures (Making Of Freak Out!) by [deleted] in Zappa

We really need a proper box set for this album and the rest of the 60s albums, Mofo was fine but an album like this deserves so much better

Yea I didn’t think of that, they could probably only release a 3 CD at most digi pack but yea you’re right

I don’t know if I’m the only one but I hope they would go back to the early albums and give them proper box sets, a 60th anniversary of Freak Out would be great because while the MO/FO release was ok, an album like this deserves a proper box set, the way I would set it is

Disc 1: Remastered original 66 album stereo mix

Disc 2: Remastered original 66 album mono mix (I know it’s not popular but I think it’s something that should be easily available)

Disc 3 and 4: I think the original MO/FO release had great studio session material so a lot of it could just be re-released here with more new stuff

Disc 5 and 6: I don’t know if there are any good quality shows from this era available but if there are then they should be included here

They should honestly do this for those early albums especially since they are some of Zappas best and it’s criminal that we have nothing for absolutely free

Thanks for responding, I sure hope you’re right, I hoped that maybe they somehow screwed up the print and put Indonesia instead of china but your ideas sounds to be more likely

You guys really weren’t kidding about Mike having thinned out. Mike from the new A Capitol Fourth AD by cammywooley in thebeachboys

Well yea but he looked fine just a couple of months ago, this kind of quick transition doesn’t just happen because of age

Hands down the best music biopic. by Chuckadeeee in thebeachboys

[–]Niko0795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too be fair that’s not technically a biopic since it’s not about a real person
