While waiting for Zappa's "Lumpy Money"...


I had an idea, since a lot of people seem frustrated by the delay of Frank Zappa's "Lumpy Gravy"/"We're Only In It For The Money" sessions set...

There's a load of material floating around out there - in the meantime, why not make a (slightly belated) "We're Only In It For The Money" 40th anniversary set to tide yourself over? You'll need the as-nature-intended remastered CD and the 1986 bastardized remix, as well as the prototype version of the album and a number of alternate mixes you should be able to find online fairly easily.

(Yes, it's another DIY one. Sorry - all I need is an angry lawyer-wielding Dweezil on my doorstep!)

This is just my suggested tracklist; if anyone has anything to add or wants to suggest an alternative sequence, feel free.
