NotesOriginally released in 1975, this is a reissue of Frank Zappa's BONGO FURY.
This is Zappa's last great album (although Zoot Allures was good too). Captain Beefheart's vocals are a great and insane addition, making it a unique album in the Zappa catalog. Beefheart's vocals take much more center stage than in Hot Rats (also a great album).
Great music. Zappa was innovative musician and great guitarist. Captain Beefheart great as always. Solos on Muffin Man Wow! Same with advance romance!
However, the sound quality was inferior on CD. Much better on LP.
Zappa, Beefheart, Bongo Fury!! Only the die hard fan or open minded curious. Great recording. Can't be a fan of either and not have this in your collection! Love it!!
