7/4 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 yeah it feels to me like someone had the bad idea- "alright how can we exude the spirit of frank zappa through his website?" and tried to go about this and just made an annoying mess. That IS the spirit of Frank Zappa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Frank Zappa (December 21, 1940 - December 4, 1993) Happy Birthday Mr. Zappa. I miss you old fart. I'll stop by the market and buy some peaches in the morning. Maybe they'll have some fresh yellow shark. Happy Birthday Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Garrett Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) anybody get those Freak Out! reissues? Seem a little expensive to me so I was waiting for reviews for either one. I don't have it yet, but the 4-disc version is on its way to me - I didn't preorder and was waiting for a full tracklisting to become available to make a decision as to which one to get (tracklisting for both the 2- and 4-disc versions is here). So far, I haven't seen anything but rapturous reviews of either set (you may want to take a look at the zappa.com forums). Both sets contain the original vinyl stereo mix of the album, and everyone seems to agree that it's indisputably the best this title has ever sounded on CD. I think which one you get depends on how much you're into FO - serious fans will probably want the 4-disc one. Unfortunately, there are several tracks on the 2-disc one that are not on the 4-disc one, so if you're a completist, you'll want both; as much as I love FO, I'm only getting the 4-disc version unless I eventually run across a deal too good to turn down on the 2-disc one - I'm simply not going to pay $32 for a handful of unique tracks. One other thing to consider is that the 4-disc set is a limited edition, and I'm guessing there were a lot of other people who didn't preorder but were waiting until it was released and more details were available as to the actual contents to order a copy, so if you think you want one, I'd recommend not waiting too long.
