Frank Zappa ORIG US LP Hot rats VG+ ‘69 Blue Bizarre RS6356 Captain Beefheart

Frank Zappa

Hot rats

Original 1st Press US LP released in 1969 on the Blue Bizarre Records Label. Cat: RS 6356. This album has a gatefold sleeve.

This batch of LP’s are from a very recently acquired collection of all original late 60’s early 70’s pressing LP’s. There are around 200 albums I hope to list over the coming weeks some fantastic titles amongst them most over 45 years old!! I have hand cleaned and listened to every album and graded conservatively (as per usual) to give the most accurate grading I can. I hope you enjoy browsing or bidding on the titles as much as I have listening to them all.

Aside from the experimental side project Lumpy Gravy, Hot Rats was the first album Frank Zappa recorded as a solo artist sans the Mothers, though he continued to employ previous musical collaborators, most notably multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood. Other than another side project the doo wop tribute Cruising With Ruben and the Jets Hot Rats was also the first time Zappa focused his efforts in one general area, namely jazz-rock. The result is a classic of the genre. Hot Rats' genius lies in the way it fuses the compositional sophistication of jazz with rock's down-and-dirty attitude there's a real looseness and grit to the three lengthy jams, and a surprising, wry elegance to the three shorter, tightly arranged numbers (particularly the sumptuous "Peaches en Regalia"). Perhaps the biggest revelation isn't the straightforward presentation, or the intricately shifting instrumental voices in Zappa's arrangements it's his own virtuosity on the electric guitar, recorded during extended improvisational workouts for the first time here.  

Tracks: Peaches en regalia/ Willie the pimp/ Son of Mr. Green genes/ Little umbrellas/ The gumbo variations/ It must be a camel.

There are a few very light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks and very light scratches that cause a few light crackles throughout and is in VG+ condition. Gatefold cover has some ring wear and light marks, some tiny surface tears around edges, a small tear on bottom edge of spine and a small seam split on bottom centre edge. Cover is in VG condition.
