Frank Zappa - Rubber Shirt + The Sheik Yerbouti Tango

[moggy191]

The master at his best. Rip frank. We love you.

[salimlog666]

Shut up and play yo' guitar!

This is The Sheik Yerbouti Tango to me, Zappa's ability to make a guitar tell a whole story. RIP Master!

Rubber Shirt: vinyl cover comment indicates that the bass lines were recorded while listening to some earlier recorded drums track(s) playing at much slower speed. Listen again and you will take notice. Buyed that album with 16 and played it for years (!). All thumbs up.

[destructOzap]

as far as i know,the two tracks (bass and drums ) were recorded at different events,mixed together all after. even greater !

El mejor del mejor

An interesting comment. What do you mean?

[Dictatorship23]

@TheAdultChild101 you typed "30 tears ago" instead of "30 years ago" haha

[TheAdultChild101]

@Dictatorship23 So that's what that guy meant. LOL

Just in case anybody doesn't know, the bass and drums in Rubber Shirt were from performances recorded separately and synchronized later, which is amazing because of all the cool moments that happen with the bass and drums. From the album liner notes.

@michaelhallock  Awesome. Again...

@michaelhallock

This is really an ingenious instrumental tune he made.

That's how it was done in the old days, playing with and cutting magnetic tape, now there's too much crap being made with just a mouse and an index finger.

Wasn't that mentioned on the vinyl album's cover or sleeve?

I bought this album when I was 16 and looooved it instantly and will always remain my all time favorite ZAppa album.

@menkeechang - Fantastic and no computers or mice in sight! the old ways are best.

[Geekman333]

Yeah Frank...we miss ya. Original, unique and bloody skilled. Where are your like these days? Fucking nowhere. Thanks for the track.

[SpartanLust]

Frank we love you!  Both tracks stand on their own.... together, fuckin' rocks!!!!

[nullnvnvnv]

Both are awesome tracks

[aqweaqweaqweaqweaqwe]

I just came on myself.

[TheAdultChild101]

I first listened to this thirty tears ago and drunk off my ass. Still works.

[jameshippiekid]
