If you are not familiar with Zappa's later style, you may find the in-yer-face lyrics of 'Catholic Girls' and 'Bobby Brown' a bit much. However the rest of the album is quite 'safe'. The Mudshark interview is laughably deranged and the Captain Beefheart cameo on 'Torture never stops' adds a bluesy touch to things. Then there's the doo-wop of the title track and a nice little instrumental featuring Steve Vai.
For me though, the finest moment is the segue from 'Joes Garage' into the funky rendition of 'My guitar...' - Guess you only get one chance in life to play a song that goes like....

This compilation includes a fair introductory tour of Zappas wide ranging styles. Tracks like 'Catholic Girls' show Zappas funny side, and tracks such as 'Zombie Woof' show his more improv based ramblings. All in all, for the price you pay, it's a good deal for those who want to get into him but are daunted by the sheer size of his back catelogue.

This release is jam packed with Frank Zappa classics such as "Catholic Girls" and "You are what you is". Fifty minutes of music comprising some of the greatest music ever written and THE best lyrics. A bundle of laughs and an inspiration for us all to dive further in to the vast vault of Frank Zappa's repertoire. For such a small fee you can have a sample of one of the most sadly missed musicians ever to have walked this earth

Frank Crappa?
I got this a while ago to see what all the fuss was about - I heard Zappa was REALLY good and thought I should have a listen..... Read more

Not a very good introduction
Like the recent Ryko label "Best Of" it overemphasizes Frank's "funny"/commercial side and doesn't indicate the breadth and depth of his music. Read more
