Frank Zappa was a songwriter, musician, and guitarist with a career spanning over 30 years. He was a critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and an advocate for freedom of speech, and self-education. Unlike many other musicians of his era, he disapproved of and seldom used drugs. Rolling Stones Magazine ranked him #71 on the list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. "Hot Rats" is his second solo album, released in 1969. Five of the six songs are jazz-rock influenced instrumental, the other "Willie The Pimp", features vocals by Captain Beefheart. Zappa dedicated the album to his newborn son, Dweezil. A single was released from this album, 'Peaches En Regalia' an absolute jazz-fusion masterpiece with a down-and-dirty attitude. Frank was way ahead of his time. The gatefold cover is in very good condition with some splatter discoloration. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Bizarre Records, #RS 6356, STEREO LP. Thank you for looking. (Grading Order: Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Very Good+, Very Good, Good, etc...)
