random notes
from: http://www.dailyvault.com/1_17_97.html
the opening number, "peaches en regalia," is a perfect
example of the mastery zappa had over the guitar, his backup band and the
studio. over 25 years since it was released, it still sounds as fresh today as
when the record first came out. ian underwood's one-man horn section adds to the
track, as does the frantic drumming of ron selico.

about all i can tell you is that selico was in shuggie
otis' band around the time both appeared on hot
rats. here's a purty
pitcher from the back cover of mayall's _jazz blues fusion_. (see above)
