Talk:Lumpy Gravy

message: AMG seems to have got this wrong. They say December 1967  (and make a point of it coming before We're Only in It for the Money), but Rykodisc say '68 ; as does this page. Please fix this if I've made a mistake. Flowerparty 07:31, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the  as this article deals not with an individual person, but an orchestra composed of many persons. --Ozgod 06:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that WikiProject Musicians, as an integrated part of WPBiography, does use the WPBiography banner's flag "|musician-work-group=yes" which adds the following text to the banner: This article is supported by WikiProject Musicians, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed biographical guide to musicians and musical groups on Wikipedia.. Best regards, BNutzer 07:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason I removed the WPBiography tag is because this article contains no biographical information and functions as a list. The WPBiography tag should be added to the individual pages of the performers of the orchestra. --Ozgod 12:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand that the article as it is now does not contain biographical information, but this article may be expanded to give a reasonable amount of information on the group for an encyclopedic entry. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 16:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Lumpy Gravy, almost certainly named after the album, was a restaurant in Hollywood owned by Klasky-Csupo Animation during the 1990s. Gabor Csupo was a good friend of Zappa. knoodelhed 08:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Other uses of the term

message: This article previously was full of bogus information.  Though it is possible that the group existed without a name in 1959 the first ensemble with this name was created by Frank Zappa in 1967 for use on his Lumpy Gravy album.  If there are any available references to this group from before 1967 they need to be documented here.  The name of this orchestra was also used by Zappa for musicians he hired for his Orchestra Favorites album in 1975 (the album was released in 1979.)  The only documented evidence I could find of recordings with The Chipmunks that use this name date from 1983, not 1959!  This certainly seems to suggest that the name came much later than the 1959 session.  Removed unnecessary links to musicians who do not already have a Wikipedia article and re-organized article to show who participated in each of the major sessions known so far.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoni4316 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

message: However, upon meeting Zappa, who handed the musicians the scores for the pieces, which were dense, complex and varied in time signatures.

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: I compared the track listings (as currently given in the article) of the 1967 and 1968 versions, and I don't see any common titles at all. That would suggest that these are completely different albums. Or did Zappa retain some of the pieces and just give them different names? 04:40, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Track listing 

message: While the original cover of any release would almost always appear at the top of the infobox, and the alternate cover at the bottom, wouldn't this be a scenario where the 1967 sleeve should swap places with the 1968 one? That is easily the more recognisable cover because its the much better-known version of the album, the one which all the literature is indebted to as that is the 'official' version after all. Any thoughts?--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 03:55, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Swapping covers 

message: There's enough coverage and information to split the 1967 and 1968 releases into separate articles, as it's blatantly clear that the 1967 and 68 releases are separate albums, one being an album of orchestral instrumental music and the other being a musique concrete album. The sources are describing two different albums with the same name. RockabillyRaccoon (talk) 18:39, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux having two separate articles sets a precedent for there to be two separate articles on Lumpy Gravy (1967 album) and Lumpy Gravy (1968 album), even if you consider the latter a different edition of the same album, because alternate versions of albums can be notable enough to have their own articles if they are significantly covered by reliable sources, which the two Lumpy Gravy releases were, in addition to the earlier 1967 album having been reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day and as part of Lumpy Money, which itself is a reissue of two/three albums that has it's own article.
