About the Recording
Among Zappa's grittier works, ZOOT ALLURES is a strong piece of mid-'70s work that focuses more on the interaction of Zappa and a small group that includes Terry Bozzio, Ruth Underwood and Roy Estrada, temporarily abandoning the jazzy, large-scale efforts of previous albums like ONE SIZE FITS ALL. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but all the disparate ingredients for a satisfying whole. There are simple, catchy rock tunes like "Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station," "Ms. Pinky," a synth-led ode to a sexual toy, and "Disco Boy," which foreshadowed Zappa's hit "Dancing Fool." The lovely instrumental "Black Napkins" is among the prettiest compositions in Zappa's canon, highlighting his guitar work in an uncharacteristically restrained mode. The arguable centerpiece of the album is the epic-length "The Torture Never Stops." Sung by Zappa in his deepest, dirtiest, most ominous voice, the song recounts the tale of an evil monarch who does unspeakable things in the depths of his castle. Full of Zappa's bluesy guitar interjections, its one of the most deliciously unsavory things FZ ever committed to tape.

Do you do any declicking after ripping? So far your stuff has sounded very clean.
could you please publish MD5 check sum for all arch. parts in yor posts?
Thank you!
I guess I'm a real dummy when the art of vinyl ripping is involved so I'll take your Ripping Equipment details for granted. But what an awesome piece of work you have accomplished here, dimsal! Listening to one of my all-time favourite Zappa track "The Torture Never Stops" gives me a boner, even when produced through a PC speaker set. Thanks a million for this landmark post!!
cityzenn, to unzip these use a free 7zip software.
@ Mister Cee - yes, it should be interesting comparison, I've heard that this original US pressing considered by many to be the best.
there are many tools for md5 calc. e.g. you can find some of them at
http://en.softonic.com/s/md5
(some sort of check sum generates http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit
but its not md5.... in worst case you also may use it.)
or you may use TotalCommander.
BTW- if you have any 70s fusion along the lines of Weather Report, Mahavishnu, or Brand X it would be most welcome. :-)

edit to reply to message below: no problem for any of the tracks for me.
хотел как лучше но известно что:
хозяин барин.
Спасибо за музыку!
Since it's a 96KHz / 24 bits file it is impossible to listen using Windows Media Player etc..
Why do you post the rips in such an arrangement , its prone to all the problems one can have with unarchiving , and no recovery record to remedy.
Can you just post in 200MB RAR parts with recovery record ?
Other than that , your rips are amazing :)
Want to send you a bottle of "black label" for the "jazz at the pawnshop" you did :)
The sound is really good with just the right amount of clicks to set the mood for authentic vinyl mood without being annoying :)
I'm a bit lazy, I could launch a Parallels on my Mac and use it to WinRar the files of course, perhaps that's what I'm going to do from now on.
