Vinyl (MCS 6700) - Frank Zappa - Chunga's Revenge - The Clap

Vinyl (MCS 6700) - Frank Zappa - Chunga's Revenge - The Clap
Turntable: MCS 6700 Direct Drive
Phono Cart: Denon DL-110
Preamp: Rega Fono Mini
Stereo: Marantz 2235b

Recorded at 24/96 (24-bit, 96kHz) on Audacity.

Notes -- Here is the title cut to Frank Zappa's 1970 LP, Chunga's Revenge This long instrumental ends with a long percussion break, which is titled "The Clap." I included both since they should be thought as one suite. This LP is the original blue-label Bizarre pressing.

The MCS 6700 turntable was JC Penny's top-line model of the late 1970s. It's a rebranded Technics SL-1900 with a larger frame, more stylish buttons, and the same excellent Technics sound. It's a terrific turntable.

The phono cartridge is the always-excellent Denon DL-110, a high-output moving coil. The phono preamp is the Rega Fono Mini, a sterling champ that is sadly overlooked. And the stereo receiver is my venerable Marantz 2235b from 1977.

@echob00mer Congratulations! I'm sure you'll love this LP. It's fun to discover the differences between Zappa's LP and CD versions. I'm glad I could help inspire you to get this album.

chungas revenge!!!!!! the best of zappa!!!!!!!!....... en Chile we smoke too much listening these........ sorry dady zappa..... love drugs and rock and roll !!!!!!!!

[gamesDAMNED]

@rcactusl I'm sure Zappa wouldn't mind. After all, it was his drug use - coffee and cigaretttes - which claimed his life. No doubt he has had a chuckle in the afterlife over the irony of this.  As long as we're all enjoying his great music, that's what matters most. So relax, drink up, smoke up, and have fun spinning albums!

@gamesDAMNED Wait wait wait. Zappa grew up living so close to US military chem warfare arsenals that his family had gas masks laying around the house in case of emergency, he also had a doctor stick radioactive pellets into his nose to "help" with sinus problems, but you're going to blame cigarettes and coffee for his death? I'm not buying it...

[gamesDAMNED]

@KingOfWhiteTrash1 Yes, it seems I'll have to rethink my "coffee and cigarettes" theory about Frank Zappa. It makes for an easy target, and I'm old enough to know that "easy" explanations are almost always suspect. So I'll formally withdraw the claim that smoking is responsible for Zappa's death, until further notice. In any case, he's now dead, and that's a tragedy. We need his musical genius and acerbic wit more than ever.

@gamesDAMNED How does coffee and ciggs relate to prostate cancer? Not saying you're wrong, cause i don't know anything about this, but i don't think coffee and ciggarettes can lead to prostate cancer. I know he consumed way too much tho
