The superb Waka/Wazoo box set by Frank Zappa. Top quality outtakes and alternate versions from Waka Jawaka and Grand Wazoo. One of the best releases from the #FrankZapa vaults. Certainly one of the most prolific recording artists of all time. I miss Frank so much #nowspinning #nowplaying #CDBoxSets
