Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hard to believe this album is from 1969. Frank Zappa was leading the way with this set of jazz rock instrumental pieces. Great keyboards, drumming, horns and guitars. Zappa was a certainly a man ahead of his time. Sounds great on heavyweight vinyl. A masterpiece.

I heard Gumbo Variations in like 2004 on satellite radio, in 2006 I heard Willie the Pimp on same satellite station. This was the first time in my life I ever heard any of this on vinyl. definitely worth the wait, but why wait? Buy yours today!!

Frank made a very musical statement with this almost all instrumental album. A forerunner to the 70's jazz/rock fusion sound, I would be willing to bet that Jeff Beck has a copy of this album in his collection.

This is classic Zappa without the potty humor. Vinyl was perfect. Mastering was excellent. What a ride this was hearing it on vinyl.
