How many people on here own this ZAPPA album on vinyl or CD?

Hi Stu

Had this Zappa album on vinyl since it was released in 1973 in gatefield sleeve .IMO one of Franks best. Played it to my partner only last week she is younger than me & had never listened to Zappa she loved it from the off. I might be moving to Montana soon  Take care

Regards Graham

Stu, I bought this album on vinyl then on CD. Have played it so many times, latest yesterday. Got "dental floss tycoon" stuck in my head...

Just putting vinyl  (Discreet) on now with the footie on silent.Dinah-moe Hum,brilliant,haven't listened to it for months. Feel a late Zappa nite coming on!

I bought that the day it came out, I think I had a seers poncho or was it a Mexican poncho, anyway figured it didn't matter as I was out farming that lonely dental floss, which didn't quite go with camarillo brillo I had at the time; still back on thread, I woke up that morning with a zomby woof behind my eyes and made it down to the record shop only to find the dude at the store had let my copy go to a so-called mate of mine, slightly annoyed I said to the assistant you are gross and perverted, you're obsessed and deranged, you've had this shop for years, but very little has changed and he said, in a deep Sal Marquez type voice, where's that dynamo coming from, to which I said rather aggressively I'm ashamed to say, I'll ignore your cheap aroma and your little bo-beep diplloma I'll just put you in a comma, just give my overnite sensation .... and it worked I got it and was last seen leaving that emporium with a pair of zircon encrusted tweezers shouting Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay 

This is one of Frank's finest up there with we're only in for the money and uncle meat and, in some ways, even better than crusin' with ruben and the jets and at least the proprietor of the aforementioned vinyl sales outlet didn't look at my feet and say brown shoes don't make it 

I also saw Frank on the Overnite Sensation tour and he didn't play one song from the album prefer to play all the hits instead because it is the hits people come to hear, he said - I had every zappa album released, but until the encore I had not heard one song he played before, he was just like a penguin in bondage boy.  

bought it when it came out on Discreet; still have it, rarely play it.  Never heard it on CD.

I loved it at one time for what it was (is), very entertaining and funny with some great instrumental breaks.

but I can feel myself going off topic here - like Uncle Meat, Weasel, Burnt Weeny, Ruben, Absolutely Free, Freak Out - I just love that late 60's Mothers band - what a sound!  And I still play those from time to time.

Stu, if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to know?

OK, OK, maybe I'll play it later ...............

I have copies on vinyl and CD. I Bought my vinyl copy in 1982 when my journey into Frank's music was just beginning, and what a journey it's been.

I'd also say it was one of Franks' finest albums. I'm off to put the headphones on and have a listen.

Have both on vinyl and CD.  I might even have two CDs of it now that I think about it.  I think I have the Barking Pumpkin original CD as well as the Ryco combo Apostrophe/Over-nite Sensation.

It isn't my absolute favorite, but that says nothing about the greatness of this album in and of itself.  It is a hugely important album regarding Project/Object and chock full of hilarious lyrics and themes.

Ricky Lancelotti (sp?) has such a badass voice on 50-50 and Zombie Woof.

Yes, got it on the mighty black stuff. Never heard it on cd.

8-track + Vinyl

I owned it on vinyl 'back in the day' and still have it on cd.  I've thought it one of his best, but it never seems to appear on critics' lists.  Oh well I don't care.  He really rips some solos in the midst of all the wildness.

I have always loved the word play in the title/lyric "Camerillo Brillo"

Always makes me smile to picture the type of patient he meant (Although completely un-PC. I know )

there is NOTHING "PC" about Mr. Frank Zappa.

Yep original vinyl. Not played it for ages. It's in  the queue now though!!

One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.

Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read

A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.

All the good music has already been written by people with wigs.

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.

Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.

Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.

I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.

Frank Zappa

But perhaps Frank's most profound statement on music and life was 

You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.

So what would you do if they let you go home and the plastic had melted and so had the chrome? 

[Katie Boyle was right on Juke Box Jury - Who Are The Brain Police? never did make the hit parade; I guess she thought it couldn't happen here]

Why is it so expensive on cd - amazon want c£50 new......

This album was my first introduction to Zappa.......it definitely wasn't a case of loving it on first hearing as it was quite a departure from the stuff I was listening to atbthe time but it grew on me and still remains my favourite Zappa album. The black stuff has long since disappeared - now on CD

Yup. Vinyl. Love it.

Original German vinyl -1st pressing.

Minty condition.

Awesome record.

Great music, fabulous lyrics!!!

I love this, "Hot rats" (I have the original US-pressing), "Joes Garage 1", "Apostrophe" and "Sheik Yerbouti".

Must-haves on vinyl.

Had it on vinyl when it came out.

Someone borrowed it and never gave it back.

They also took the zircon-encrusted tweezers but not he rancid poncho. Perve!

Now have it on CD.

Have it on vinyl. Still play it once in a while. I saw him perform with the Mothers. Ten Years After in the first part of the show!

I have it...along with 39 other FZ offerings.

"One Size Fits All" & "Live at the Roxy & Elsewhere" top my list...

On vinyl from the local Oxfam only last year.

On Vinyl and CD for a long time now  waiting for next generation of media (HiRez)
