        It's a great album I enjoy very much. Especially because I saw them in Amsterdam that same year. The show of The Persuasions as ing act even adds to the whole thing. So not just for the completists, but definitively worthwhile!

          No ratings yet. Is the album a pleasure to listen to? Or is it just hollow recording to complete your Zappa collection?
