1. INCLUDING THE ILLUSTRIOUS GUEST 
2. CAPTAIN BEEFHEART 
3. "WILLIE THE PIMP"
   
   
4. Would Be HARD to find a better copy = 56 years ago PROMO !
5. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 
6. SHARP Original 1969 first pressing in thick gatefold cover and on the old Bizarre Records label...
7. Featuring Captain Beefheart 
   
8. Delivering one heck of a gritty performance on the forever amazing "Willie The Pimp"...all 9+ minutes in full glory 
9. Basically just dropping the name `Mothers of Invention' and releasing this first solo album, Frank Zappa shows just who had been boss the whole time, letting the unsuspecting music world get punched it in the teeth with a blast of ZAPPA guitar-jams -- enhanced with melodious melodies..
10. On `Hot Rats' -- Mr. Zappa surrounds himself with some of the finest musicians in the United States of America, who just happened to also be his best friends, going from cult figure to International Superstar. 
11. In the high brow student world of 1969, if you didn't have the Hot Rats poster, you were considered 'a square.' 
12. The album is an absolute `must have' and Zappa masters great winding extended solos with each song having sharp gripping "humable" tunes that make your fingers twitch, and your feet tap. .
13. Presented here for your edification (would almost be an insult to label the tracks as just plain old songs) is the wonderful zeitgeist "Peaches En Regalia", where Mr. Zappa on guitar, and multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood get to flex their musical muscles. These two musicians are the only two to appear on every track. 
14. "Peaches En Regalia" is certainly one of Zappa's most accessible and popular tracks and, almost certainly, one of his best. In an amazing way this album starts, leading us into a treasure trove of groovy tunes. Yes, this was what started the term `Jazz/Rock', but at the time it was just a convenient label for journalists to coin a term. Zappa should not take responsibility for the driveling of critics, who tried to follow his footsteps.
15. Next up is the infamous "Willie The Pimp" the only vocal track on the album sung by the esteemed Don Van Vliet, better known as `Captain Beefheart', and what lyrics are delivered in this grinding gritty classic: 
16.     "I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back
        Pair of khaki pants with my shoe shined black" 
17. One can hear the gleam in the great Captain's eye, and the guitar solo that follows might take the roof off your head - every time you hear it !
18. After the delightful "Son of Mr. Green Genes", and "Little Umbrellas", you get the full version of "The Gumbo Variations". This had to be edited for the vinyl release due to time constraints, where the soloists, Zappa guitar, Ian Underwood playing everything, and Sugar Cane Harris on violin, all vie for the spotlight, in holding your attention with every cooking movement
19. Finally we get "It Must Be A Camel", where the legendary Jen Luc Ponty joins the fray bringing the fire to a fitting climax.
