Frank Zappa - Hot Rats Used (Open) (Not Play Tested) Vinyl 180g LP Track Listing 1. Peaches en Regalia 2. Willie the Pimp 3. Son of Mr. Green Genes 4. Little Umbrellas 5. The Gumbo Variations 6. It Must Be a Camel
By 1969, after releasing a 'mother lode' of Mothers of Invention classics, leader Frank Zappa was ready to breakthrough other musical barriers that were still holding popular music in a conservative headlock.
Being one if not the first album to be recorded using 16 tracks (twice the number being used at the time on both sides of the Atlantic), Hot Rats became a leading edge in both modern recording technology and the evolution of jazz/rock-fusion. Mostly instrumental, it features six original compositions; three loose jam pieces, the remainder being tight ensemble arrangements. Some of the finest players around come together in varying combinations, all-the-while showcasing Frank Zappa's guitar virtuosity.
