Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio


I'm more interested in the instrumental side of Frank / Mothers. This is what I have so far:

The Yellow Shark: Personally, I think this is far and away
the best thing he ever did.
Waka Jawaka
Apostrophe / Overnight sensation
Civilization Phase 3
Hot Rats
Essential Zappa
Classical Zappa
Orchestral Favorites
Studio Tan
Guitar
Freak Out

It turns out I had more than I thought. Looking to fill in the holes in my collection. I took out "Lather" from the local library and thought it was ok. What about Chunga's Revenge (SP?)and Mothers Live (think it was a live concert recording from Austin, Tx.)?

i like the stuff with bozio and adrian belew, zoot allures, shiek yerbouti era..black napkins was always one of my favorite solos and i love adrian belew's vocal on city of tiny lights...some of my fondest concert memories too.
ahhh yes, mr belew is a master! i saw him many times... first few with king crimson, then many times solo (and of course with zappa). i used to take a lot of heat when i was a kid for wearing my twang bar king t shirt everyday!
it was special. saw them on the discipline tour, then beat and three of a perfect pair. all in small venues. those were some of the greatest assemblies of musicians i have ever seen, just remarkable.
