Interesting article. Some things I'd never heard before mentioned in this article.

And imagine my surprise to find this on Yahoo news of all places.

I'll have to drag my copy down off the shelf and give it a spin. It's been years.

Just got it in today on CD. I ordered most of Zappa's albums on CD recently, vinyl has become way too expensive.

  My 26 y/o daughter tells me that Frank's music is gaining traction in her age group. The 'kids' are digging him.
  
  Not sure the opinion of one is a trend, but I too have noticed the near silly prices being asked for his old records these days, and it could be an indicator of a growing new popularity.
  
  Everyone needs at least one Zappa record if not many, many more.

    I have Uncle Meat on vinyl, i had to pay 7,50 euro for it years ago in a thrift store. Nowadays dealers ask 40 to 50 euro for it. Used vinyl. Besides, i only buy used vinyl if i can check it out personally. Just bought Shut up and play your guitar on vinyl, one or two minor scratches but it plays fine after cleaning. Paid 25 euro for this 3LP box.

    - "Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar" is my favorite Zappa. It only cost me - alaskahiatt 09:54:30 01/07/23 (0)
      one dollar, but that was long ago at a thrift or garage(boot) sale.
Bought that album when it was released...- - geoff 09:14:11 01/05/23 (7)
I was 18, my mother saw the cover leaning on the stereo and had a talk with me about drug use.

    Friend of mine, first name Gary, bought the record, we got it home to his place, put it on the console stereo, and "The Pusher" came on.
    His mom had a conniption. "Gar-EEEE!! They're smoking grass!!! They're popping pills!!!"
    We were rolling on the floor.
    
    The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

        I told him not to Bogart that joint, but he wasn't born to follow. He just wanted to be a bird.
