Chunga's Revenge marks the debut of Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (among several other musicians) with the Mothers, and while their schtick has not reached the graphic proportions it later would, the thematic obsessions of the 200 Motels period are foreshadowed on tracks like "Road Ladies" and "Would You Go All the Way?"
Other vocal numbers include the hard-rocking "Tell Me You Love Me," the musicians' union satire "Rudy Wants to Buy Yez a Drink," and the doo-wop "Sharleena".
Meanwhile, Frank Zappa's strong instrumental music incorporates Eastern European influences ("Transylvania Boogie"), cocktail jazz ("Twenty Small Cigars"), and the percussion-only "The Clap."
Zappa's guitar tone is wonderfully biting and nasty throughout and George Duke provides another musical highlight with his scat-singing "drum solo."
Side One:
Transylvania Boogie (5:01)
Road Ladies (4:11)
Twenty Small Cigars (2:17)
The Nancy & Mary Music (Part 1) (2:42)
The Nancy & Mary Music (Part 2) (4:11)
The Nancy & Mary Music (Part 3) (2:37)
Side Two:
Tell Me You Love Me (2:43)
Would You Go All The Way? (2:30)
Chunga's Revenge (6:16)
The Clap (1:24)
Rudy Wants To Buy Yez A Drink (2:45)
Sharleena (4:07)
LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked labels with some loose, carless spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like new with brush marks and light hairlines under bright light but none of these have any effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Plays beautifully throughout with little to fault.
An occasional little tick noted and a touch of surface on the run-ins and in-between some of the tracks but nothing major on either count.
Very nice copy of a great record, highly recommended
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Some rub to the corners but overall a really nice example with all text on the spine clear and bold
