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

Naw, this Beach Boys/Beefheart ripoff โ
@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed
Wake up, I love the whole CD.
@Bix @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed
Eh, that one and โMummerโ are a mixed bag. Poor Andy was still having issues, even Gordon (and Gordonโs 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.

A CP cd #shelfie! When I do that Bixie sez Iโm bragging. ๐ค๐
@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed โDon Henley and the Wailers?โ
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...
๐
That single still blows my mind. ๐ฅ
And how boring and predictable would I be with a bunch of FZ albums on said list? Mix it up!
No more splinters, please. ๐
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 ๐ญ).
I know you have an interest in many musicians and bands, so I didn't really expect you to post only FZ. ๐
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! ๐
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...
FZ, (among other things), is why we had to remain friends after the divorce. ๐๐โค๏ธ
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*.
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...
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.
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. ๐
And no, there will be no more Zappa albums on the aforementioned list.
