Hoje não tava afim de fazer nada a não ser olhar o céu e ficar deitado na entrada da alcatéia ouvindo um som...o que não faço muito ou pelo menos como queria.
Lumpy Gravy é o primeiro disco solo de Frank Zappa, lançado em 1968.
De acordo com Zappa, a versão da Capitol de Lumpy Gravy é um dos seus lançamentos mais raros - se não o mais raro de todos.
O produto final consiste em peças musicais intercaladas com diálogos surreais gravados dentro de um piano.
Foi feita uma mixagem alternativa do disco, com overdubs de bateria por Chad Wackerman, e overdubs de baixo por Arthur Barrow.

De propósito não coloquei nada aqui que fosse meu.
The album is fashioned as a simultaneous parody of and tribute to the doo-wop music Frank and many of the Mothers grew up with and worked on. The album has been described as a collision of high and low art, with Stravinsky-style chord changes and unusual tempos applied to purposely trite and banal teenage pop love songs. The backing vocals at the end of "Fountain of Love", for instance, sing the opening melody from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
The album predated a mini-revival of 1950's rock music styles and touched off the Rock and roll revival movement. Soon after it came out the group Sha-Na-Na formed in New York City to play their own brand of 1950's style doo-wop. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley relaunched their careers not long after the album was released. Bo Diddley announced "I'm back and I'm feelin' fine" in his comeback single Bo Diddley 1969.
In 1973, a real doo-wop band, consisting of Ruben Guevara, Tony Duran, Robert "Frog" Camarena, Johhny Martinez, Robert "Buffalo" Roberts, Bill Wild, and Bob Zamora approached Zappa to ask him if they could use the name "Ruben and the Jets" for their band. Zappa not only approved of the name, he produced the band's first album, which was titled For Real!, a direct reference to the 1968 Mothers album with the "fake" Ruben & The Jets.
In 1984, Zappa, unhappy with the sound quality of Cruising with Ruben & the Jets, enlisted Arthur Barrow and Chad Wackerman to re-record the original bass and drum parts (although they were not credited) for the Old Masters Box One re-issue of the album. In addition to the new drums and bass, Zappa added several vocal overdubs and heavily remixed the album, resulting in what has been described as "a whole new album" Like Zappa's remix of We're Only in It for the Money, which was prepared at around the same time, it is very controversial among fans. All post-1984 reissues of the album have featured the remix.The 1968 version of the album with the original bass and drum parts has not been officially rereleased on CD, although bootlegs have surfaced.
A mono version of the album was released in England 1969 (Verve VLP. 9237) together with the original stereo, but since MGM at about that time decided to halt their distribution of Verve in the UK, very few copies found their way to the shops. This mono edition was a reduction of the stereo mix rather than a special mono mix.
In 2008, the Lagunitas Brewing Company put out a Stout named after the album, featuring the cover art on the label. This one in a series of beers planned to be released on the 40th anniversary of each of Zappa's studio albums.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sempre que posso gosto de postar algum disco que tenha relação com a minha vida ou então qdo recebo algum de amigos, que eles tb acabem se relacionando com a vida de alguém em algum momento.
Postar qualquer disco que seja nunca será a primeira vez, só se vc mesmo produziu o trabalho e ainda não lançou na praça e a matriz está com vc; aí sim vc pode ter "quase certeza"que ninguém tem ou ouviu, mas no meu caso específico como já disse em outras postagens tive o privilégio de ter acesso a masters antes dos próprios "donos" e algumas que até iriam ser descartadas, não sei como vieram até a mim, que fato estranho esse, ainda merece um estudo mais apurado,rs
Mas claro que pra quem é nascido e criado no meio é fácil chegar sem dar voltas, se perder ou pagar o mico de perguntar a loja que procura; e justamente na mais famosa entro eu na maior calma do mundo, ninguém dentro a não ser o dono no caixa, que me manda uma pergunta logo de cara: - Tá procurando o quê?
E o "Chicão" do alto dos seus dois metros e tanto, barba, cabelos longos e unhas longas, uma figuraça do bem, vem e me dá um puta abraço afinal a gente não se via fazia uma data, e conversa vai conversa vem, falei do que procurava e ele já meteu a mão na prateleira e me mostrou a bolacha dupla, importada e lacrada.......suspense.....rs, afinal era "o cara" e o disco deveria ter uns poucos meses na praça e aquilo era algo mágico de se ver o que me deixou mesmo desconcertado.
Bom, não consigo resumir uma história mesmo, se vc chegou até aqui vai saber que o Chicão tirou a grana dele do bolso pagou o que na época correspondia a uns 5 lps duplos normais, comprou e me deu o disco que tenho até hj, prq aquele cara era "o cara"; além do que deu uma puta dura no amigo dono da loja dizendo que além de tudo ele havia tratado mal um amigo dele enquanto do lado de fora "por acaso" uma puta bandalheira acontecia entre turmas rivais se arrebentando nos corredores (rotina lá todos os dias, até morte saiu nas escadas rolantes que nunca funcionavam) e o cara se achando no castelo de luxor cuidando das jóias da realeza,rs
Sheik Yerbouti is a double vinyl album by Frank Zappa featuring material recorded in 1977 and 1978. It was first released on March 3 1979 as the first release on Zappa Records and re-issued on compact disc by Rykodisc on May 9 1995. The title is a play on words; Zappa appears on the cover in character in Arab headdress, and the name, meant to resemble an Arabic transcription, is pronounced like the title of KC and the Sunshine Band's 1976 disco hit "Shake Your Booty".
Sheik Yerbouti represented a major turning point in Zappa's career. The first album to be released on his own eponymous label after his departure from Warner Bros. Records, it emphasized the comedic aspect of his lyrics more than ever before, beginning a period of increased record sales and mainstream media attention.
The album featured more of Zappa's satirical and otherwise humorous or offensive material. "Bobby Brown (Goes Down)" is well-known worldwide, except for the USA, where it was banned from airplay due to its sexually explicit lyrics. "I Have Been in You" pokes fun at Peter Frampton's 1977 hit "I'm in You" while maintaining a sexually driven structure. "Dancin' Fool", a Grammy nominee, became a popular disco hit despite its obvious parodical reflection of disco music. "Flakes" includes a parody of Bob Dylan about the lousiness of laborers in California. "Jewish Princess", a humorous look at Jewish stereotyping, attracted attention from the Anti-Defamation League, to which Zappa denied an apology, arguing: "Well, I didn't make up the idea of a Jewish Princess. They exist, so I wrote a song about them".
Some of Zappa's solos from the album began life as improvisations from Zappa's earlier work. "Rat Tomago" was edited from a performance of "The Torture Never Stops", which originally appeared on Zoot Allures; "The Sheik Yerbouti Tango" likewise from a live "Little House I Used to Live In", originally a Burnt Weeny Sandwich track. The song "City of Tiny Lites" featured an animation video made by Bruce Bickford which was featured on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
Most of the basic tracks were recorded live, then extensively overdubbed in the studio. "Rat Tomago" is bookended by two brief pieces of musique concrète, constructed of studio dialogue, sound effects, and assorted musical fragments. In making "Rubber Shirt", Zappa combined a track of Terry Bozzio playing drums in one musical setting with one of Patrick O'Hearn playing bass in another, and totally different, musical setting. The tracks differed in time signature and in tempo. Zappa referred to this technique as xenochrony. Nearly every song on the album features numerous overdubs.

Produced by Frank Zappa (2LP, Zappa SRZ-2-1501, March 3, 1979)Fiz questão de colocar todas as capas do disquinho, é só clicar em cima copiar e salvar na pasta do seu disco, não coloquei junto pra não pesar mais, já que o arquivo está em 320kbps
Bem, lá vamos nós de novo, rs!!!!!!!
Um exemplo disso foi um som que baixei do "Voo 7177" e que simplesmente fiquei de boca aberta ouvindo aquilo em simples dois discos; o que mais parecia uma discografia de décadas reunida em apenas dois álbuns.

Segue ai então o disco que deu origem à esse mito e aos que junto com ele fizeram a história que hoje ouvimos e vivemos (1966).
