Heh, smartass.

The way I look at is — peeps (and @Bix especially) are lucky that my whole damn list ain’t nothing but FZ.

🙄🙄😏

BTW — you don’t have that one, right?

🤔

Bix Fact:
I love the herky-jerky of 1984's The Big Express.

@Bix @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed

Eh, that one and “Mummer” are a mixed bag. Poor Andy was still having issues, even Gordon (and Gordon’s manager) knew that.

@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed

I love both of them. They are not a Skylarking or Milton's Paradise Lost masterpiece, but I love my new wave era bounce.

@InUnfunky @Bix

I've been surprised you haven't had more Frank on your list.

No, I don't have that one. But I have this one...

😛

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix

That single still blows my mind. 🔥

And how boring and predictable would I be with a bunch of FZ albums on said list? Mix it up!

No more splinters, please. 😎

@InUnfunky @Bix

I might get more splinters. After my trip, I'm tearing the basement and other storage places apart to find my other albums, (yep, I still haven't found them 😭).

I know you have an interest in many musicians and bands, so I didn't really expect you to post only FZ. 😎

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix

Universe and socmed be praised that we Zappa fans can find each other -- yourself and @Mfieck and I count myself as very lucky to have you two to chat with about such...and not just about FZ, either! 😎

It's like a religion or cult minus the irritating proselytizing! And that way you don't bore the piss out of everyone else.

The basement sitch still confuses me -- I'm sure you checked the attic, garage, etc. I forget what IRL Hubs said when you asked him...

@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck

FZ, (among other things), is why we had to remain friends after the divorce. 😉😎❤️

Hubs said he wasn't sure where they were or why they wouldn't be with FZ and the others we found. I didn't check the attic bc I know nothing is up there - it's hard to get to, so we've only been up there once or twice. I have a few very large closets that are used for storage. We haven't gone through them yet...they hold a lot of stuff we haven't seen in years so, *fingers crossed*.

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck

These are the lps you've had since kid years, yes? Do you recall the number of records?

I did the dumbass thing (shocking, I know) when cds hit the market and traded ALL of my records, minus a few that got misfiled with mom/stepdad's small collection.

It wasn't until '94 that I started buying records again -- cuz a new roomie brought his player with him. Then I kicked myself for getting rid of my vinyl...

@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck

Yes, including The Partridge Family, all the way up to high school and a little beyond, when I started buying cassettes. It's not an enormous amount of albums, but it's not a few either.

I would've kicked myself, too, if I got rid of my vinyl.

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck

Awesome.

Trading the records in for store credit wasn't a shame cuz of the $ and/or like I had some hard-to-find valuable stuff. More like a big lesson in tech evolution/market fashion fads...and then replacing a number of albums all over again. That said, most of the new ones are remasters and huge improvements in sound.

Like you, it was by no means a gargantuan collection -- still isn't. And I still purge every now and then for room and store credit. 😆

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix

And no, there will be no more Zappa albums on the aforementioned list.

😮 🤓
