FRANK ZAPPA – Lost Guitars (1CD)

Soundboard 9.5 – This is a compilation of unreleased guitar vehicles and exceptional solo excerpts for fans of the “Shut Up N’ Play Yer Guitar” and “Guitar” albums. The sound quality is excellent soundboard. Yes, some of us are guilty of skipping over the “vamp” sections in order to get to the shred. This compilation delivers what I feel are some of Frank’s tastiest pieces, and all in superb quality.
