Hot Rats cemented Frank Zappa as a musical force to be reckoned with. The album, recorded on a prototype 16-track recorder, sounds as fresh and sonically superior as it did when first released in 1969.
Saturday Night Special is heralded as a jazz fusion classic. It features organ, electric piano and Mellotron by Lyman Woodard alongside guitar and bass by Ron English, with drums and percussion by Leonard King, Bud Spangler & Lorenzo Brown respectively.
