This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
And they do mean cheep, er, cheap.
This Frank Zappa sampler — the second in a series — is priced at just $6.98. How do they do it? Volume. Whichever incarnation of FZ you’re looking for, you’ll find it. Prefer the skewed doo-wop of his Mothers Of Invention days? Here’s the boozy, bluesy WPLJ from Burnt Weenie Sandwich. Want some ’70s rock sardonicism? You’ve got Baby Snakes’ sardonic, smokin’ Disco Boy. What about his later avant-compositions? No problem; check out the electronic brilliance of Jazz From Hell’s Night School. All the FZ you need and more — except for maybe an unreleased track. But hey, waddaya want for $6.98?
