I’ve mentioned previously my quest for the white whale that is the complete Frank Zappa CD discography. It is a mighty beast, and I’m starting to lose track and buy duplicates that I’m too lazy to return for a refund. I don’t have the short-term memory for this any more.
And so in the interest of being able to access my “have” list wherever I am, I’m dedicating a little space to my meager Zappa collection. I know this list isn’t particularly entertaining for you but you know what? Sometimes it’s about me. Don’t feel bad — I still think you’re pretty.

I am ashamed, embarrassed and somewhat belittled to admit to only owning two.. Cheap Thrills and Son Of Cheep Thrills (why is cheap spellt differently??)
But I did used to own Sheik Yerbouti on vinyl so can I count that too 🙂

Having our original vinyl always adds cool points. Makes moving a pain in the ass, but definite cool points.
