Chunga's Revenge on LP
Vinyl LP pressing. Chunga's Revenge is the third solo
album by Frank Zappa, originally released in 1970. Zappa's first effort
of the 1970s marks the first appearance of former Turtles members Flo
& Eddie on a Zappa record, and signals the dawn of a controversial
epoch in Zappa's history. Chunga's Revenge represents a shift from both
the satirical political commentary of his 1960s work with The Mothers of
Invention, and the jazz fusion of Hot Rats. The material presented on
Chunga's Revenge is eclectic: side one includes a guitar jam
("Transylvania Boogie"), a bluesy amble ("Road Ladies"), a jazz
interlude ("Twenty Small Cigars") and an avant garde live improvisation
("The Nancy and Mary Music") drawn from "King Kong" and other songs from
a July 1970 Mothers performance. Several poppy numbers ("Tell Me You
Love Me", "Would You Go All the Way?", "Rudy Wants to Buy Yez a Drink",
"Sharleena") appear on the second side along with the improvisational
title track.
