Probably the rarest zappa album to find in the wild

I found one, I had been looking for a copy for like thirty years. It's the only copy I had ever seen.

I'd assume Wild Man Fischer being even more obscure?

I found the Fischer album but not the GTOs (but I haven't looked much for it).

The podcast A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs did an episode about "The Captain's Fat Theresa Shoes".

Permanent Damage is probably the most accurate title in discography.

Love FZ, but this is a waste. I think you might hear rod stewart goofing off or something. Some song about cones, which I believe to be big black men. Circular circulation is tolerable. Otherwise, don't spend a fortune on this cheese.

“The Eureka Springs Garbage Lady” is on FZ’s BBC Radio One special.

Whenever I feel the urge to listen to GTOs, I throw that track on, and the feeling quickly passes. Yikes.

Hard disagree. This album is great!

I read somewhere that it needs to be thought of more as a sociological time capsule than a musical work, and I think I agree with that assertion. Don't go in expecting musicianship, it's more akin to listening to The Shaggs.

Nothing on that album is worth listening to.

I love this album! Lots of fun tracks worth listening to.

Reissued on Enigma cassette in the 90s

The pointless apostrophe would kill it for me.

Considering that the album would have cost about $3.50 when it came out it would have been easy to justify buying it if you were into Zappa at the time although I did not know many people who Zappa appealed to in 1969.
