| Young, Neil - Ragged Glory
|
(Reprise 7599-26315-1 EU-90 VG+ 500:-)
Having re-established his reputation with the musically varied, lyrically enraged "Freedom", Neil Young returned to being the lead guitarist of Crazy Horse for the musically homogenous, lyrically hopeful "Ragged Glory".
The album's dominant sound was made by Young's noisy guitar, which bordered on and sometimes slipped over into distortion, while Crazy Horse kept up the songs' bright tempos. Despite the volume, the tunes were catchy, with strong melodies and good choruses, and they were given over to love, humor, and warm reminiscence.

| Z Z Top - Eliminator
|
(WEA W3774P UK-85 EX 275:-)
In the more than thirty years that they have been together, ZZ Top have mutated from a hard rocking boogie band into pop culture icons. Some might say, that they are also forward thinking musical geniuses whose appropriation of MTV and melding of Hard Rock to Dance rhythms put them so far ahead of the curve that -- for a while in the mid-1980s -- they seemed poised to take over the world.
"Eliminator", with its churning guitars and synthesizer hooks, was on the album charts for over a year. The album and its accompanying videos were ubiquitous in 1983, on television ZZ Top was seen on MTV, St. Elsewhere, even on the Tonight Show.
UK PICDISC in clear PVC sleeve.

| Zappa, Frank - 200 Motels
|
(United Artists UDF-50003 UK-71 EX 400:-)
200 MOTELS is the soundtrack to Frank Zappa's wacky 1971 motion picture of the same name, which starred Ringo Starr and Keith Moon, among others. Although it enjoyed success as a "midnight movie" in the '70s/early '80s, 200 MOTELS is a difficult movie to comprehend, since the storyline is very abstract (some have hinted that it was made up on the spot!). But even when his music is difficult to understand, Zappa includes many interesting twists and turns, and the soundtrack for 200 MOTELS is no different.
Original UK 2LP set; comes with a superb 16-page full colour booklet packed with stills from the film (the poster though, is missing). The sleeve has shows minor wear.

| Zappa, Frank - Guitar
|
(Zappa ZAPPA-6 UK-88 EX 275:-)
Frank Zappa's music has always been fascinating, confusing and unpredictable. Bringing together every single musical genre, instrument and sensibility, Zappa's vast output is a legacy of some of the most complex and brilliant music of this century.
Zappa's "Guitar" is an instrumental work. Like the preceding "Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar" suite (released as a box set in 1982), Zappa had initially considered this as part of a set.

(CBS 66368 Hol-81 VG+ 400:-)
Frank Zappa's music has always been fascinating, confusing and unpredictable. Bringing together every single musical genre, instrument and sensibility, Zappa's vast output is a legacy of some of the most complex and brilliant music of this century.
This 3LP Box contains instrumentals, recorded between 1977 and 1980. Until the release of this album, only a few people realized what the hard-core Zappa fanatics had known all along... that FZ can play the guitar!
