I agree and would reccomend YCDTOSA 6 to a newbie. The only bunch I would avoid until truly 
familiar with the works is the "Beat the Boots" collections of official bootlegs. Sound 
quality is variable and you have to be careful !!

Speaking of profound effects, I once saw these dudes do a roaring sendup

To be honest, I can't see why people are ranking on YCDTOSA 6. It's one of my
personal favorites (especially the "sex disc"). It might not be a great choice
for a newbie, but I don't understand why it is so widely panned.

As for the others, I think 1 and 2 are the best, followed by 6, 3, 4, and 5.
For newbies, I would recommend "You Are What You Is", "Ship Arriving too Late
to Save a Drowning Witch", "Apostrophe", "One Size Fits All", and "Overnite
Sensation". If you want more live material, "Make a Jazz Noise Here", "The Best
Band You Never Heard in Your Life", and "Roxy and Elsewhere" are all excellent.

I'd have to recommend `One Size Fits All', if only for "Inca Roads",
which has to be one of the most amazing compositions/performances by
anyone, anytime, anywhere. I never tire of it.

A bibliography? That would be worhtwile, but since you're subject line tells 
me 'Complete Works', I presume you're looking for a discography? Then I got 
good news for you, because I'm working on a discography in which I will also 
name the known bootlegs. (Or maybe it's better to say, that I'm working on a 
bootleg-discography & I will also insert his official recordings.) Watch out

Paolo,

I suggest the cd:

          MOTHERS
     Fillmore East - June 1971

as a good choice.  Some great Flo & Eddie stuff and *THE* best
"Peaches En Regalia" on any of Frank's stuff.  Not for the tame
listner who can't stand the requisite "filthy rap" from the band,
but a real gem for its good works.

Yes, but check out the version on "You Can't Do That On Stage Any
More" vol. 2, from which live performance the guitar solo on "One Size

I doubt that Zappa is high on the list of favorites of members
of the new PC othodoxy. Think about some of the views expressed
on Thing Fish. I think Zappa's stuff is better described as 
politically loaded than politically correct. After all, if
what you have to say isn't disputed by anyone it's not worth
saying.

I would suggest :  Joe's Garage
or, if you're feeling really brave, anything with the Mothers.

The key to Zappa (IMO) is to hear as much of his stuff as
possible.  There are many musical and conceptual threads
running through his work from his earliest albums with the
Mothers all the way to the present.

If you're set on staying with the newer releases, I really
like like _Make A Jazz Noise Here_ , but it's pretty hard to
find any FZ albums that don't have something to contribute
to his work as a whole.  I haven't heard it, but I would
stay away from one of the last two YCDTOSA (either 5 or 6)
which-ever one was supposedly about 75 percent Mothers'
gabbing.  (As a newbie that is)

Hi folks!

Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (aka Flo & Eddie aka The Turtles) cut some
tracks early in 1972, shortly after dissolving the turtles and before
forming Flo & Eddie.  I am not sure that any of these tracks were ever released
to the public, but Dennis Elsis (sp??) from WNEW i NYC did get a copy of some
of this music and played much of it during the summer of `72.

Thre was one tune which had quite a profound effect on me (I was 14 at the 
time) and I have never forgotten it.  Alas, I never got the name right.
The only lyrics I remember are the following:

	...She'd sing a song, of knights on horseback...<memory fault>
	...throughout the forest all the creatures knew her name
	<more memory faults>

	...you are the only one who sings to us...<memory fault>

	She, sings to me
	She, sings to me
	<etc. a few times over again...>

I know this is not much to go on, but it is all I have.  I believe I have
checked out every Flo&Eddie record in existence, and this does not seem to
have been released on any of those.  I have been half heartedly looking for
this piece of music for 20 years.  It did a lot to shape my musical tastes
and I woud like to get a hold of a copy of it, if it is possible.

If any of you know anything about this music, or if you have any suggestions
for tracking it down, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks very much in advance.

	-Andy V.
