this package must represent one of the best musical deals around. I had all three in antique, though pristine vinyl, and I have never tired of their contents, from Peaches en Regalia right through to Blessed Relief. Hot Rats is perhaps the accepted classic, but is by no means the best of these three musical documents. The box does not skimp on the packaging, you get the three cds as if bought seperately with origional cover art for each, go get one today!

I am a great fan of Zappa but have always steered away from the Mothers of Invention material due to, in my opinion, it being not entirely pleasing on the ear.
Now, Hot Rats is an absolutely brilliant album, with some of the best and earliest solo Zappa / ex-mothers tracks recorded so this is worth the purchase for this album alone.
Waka / Jawaka is not an album I would have purchased BUT is an excellent album in its own right, the closest some say Zappa ventured into Jazz, but not Jazz in any traditional sense, it has Franks mark on it. I was surprised by this musical tome and glad it has entered my world.
The verdict is still out on the grand wazoo.
Buy this mini box set as it is a bargain and is brilliant.

If you have never heard these before you are in for such a treat.
This is (IMO) the very best and musical of the zappa cannon
and you can play it to your grandparent.
Hmm which given I bought hot rats first time round could be me..

Very good ...but.
Great music presented well....but the remastering takes away a little of the warmth of the original recordings. Read more

Zappa for very musical ears!
This is a very good buy, essential albums. Definitely three very important musical documents of Frank the 20th century composer man.
