Zappa recordings. Where can I find them?

Also, looking for Stanley Clarke recordings. With or without Corea. Would also love to find some Rite of Strings.

If anyone has any leads as to where I could find this stuff it would be greatly appreciated!

I have some Zappa and Clarke solo and RTF, all on vinyl. A friend of mine has a program to burn to CD, so I can get a list to you and do that if you want.

joc, I am a member of easytree and get stuff from there all the time. Am more than willing to get you something if you want it, and I have 30-odd shows already. PM me if you\'re interested. There is also a dedicated zappa site called zappaters.com, with links to newsgroups etc.

The site is now hosting most of its torrents on EZT. Most of the regular zappateers can be found there - look for posts by erroneus, bogus pomp and Clancy Wiggum and master ninja as a starting point, though there are others.

Will pm you my list in asecond.

Screw zappa? I\'m not on e-tree, but that must be a pretty damn good collection. Jazz isnt dead, it just smells funny.

Joc, go get yourself a copy of \'weasels ripped my flesh\'. Zappa played dada-influenced jazz and all the rock fans scratched their heads.

I knew I was going to get that from you Paul.

I know Zappa can play some jazz and write some good standards.

I was just amazed at what was under the "jazz" section on that site. Never seen a collection of bittorrents like that before. Really amazing. Unfortunately, little to no seeds on the ones I want, but... still quite an amazing bunch of recordings.

btw, It\'s not e-tree. Different site altogether.

Weasels was the first Zappa I bought after hearing Dweezil doing My Guitar... Up till then, I only had a 3rd generation C90 cassette compilation. Bought Weasels as a twofer with Burnt Weeny Sandwich - both are excellent.

And yes, FZ\'s original was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better - check out the acoustic solo.

As for EZT they\'ve got a load of Miles Lost Quintet stuff from 1969 at the moment - Bitching overload!!!!!!
