Frank Zappa's Cucamonga Clambake

Here's something that's been driving me nuts for a while. An attempted sweeping-up of all Zappa's early Studio Z/Paul Buff recordings. If you have both the extended Rare Meat and Paul Buff collections, you don't need this, and move right along. If you have only the original Rare Meat mini-album and not the Paul Buff material, you need this. If you have only the original Rare Meat mini-album and the Paul Buff material, you need this. If you have neither the Rare Meat nor Paul Buff material, then you need this. Unless you don't like Frank Zappa - in which case - what you doin' here?

Anyway, here it is. They are. There may be duplicate tracks (my eyes are swiveling in my head at this point). Some tracks may be inaccurately tagged or incomplete. Some tracks may have little - or no - actual Zappa content. Some tracks may be missing. But in the absence of somebody who knows what they're doing doing it, this is a pretty nifty, swell, and bitchin' collection as it is, so quit yer whining!
