Imagine living in Mexico in 1969 just in time for Frank Zappa to release his Hot Rats album. This Mexican cover art variant must be seen by Zappa fans. When did "progressive rock" as a term originate???? People who take it up the ass would probably say Moody Blues but I bet there is a better precursor or blueprint for prog. In other news... what is progressive rock?

A Brief History of Album Covers, 2017. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats [1969] So in tune with the times was #zappa that, on his first solo album without the #mothersofinvention, he was able to execute a work that perfectly captured the prevailing #jazzrock trend favored by those wanting to ride the psych train to the end of the line. Furthermore, the sleeve for #hotrats featured a number of late-60s touch points that captured the waning of an era. The prevailing psych movement was coming to an end in 1969, as the likes of #bobdylan, #therollingstones and #thebeatles were going back to basics. #frankzappa’s “Hot Rats” shot is something of an epitaph for bright, psychedelic sleeves. Shot with an infrared camera, the image is visually striking, but the pink tone also suggests the sun going down for the last time. #rockandroll #thesixties #repriserecords #freeformimprovisation #satire #nonconformity #musicalvirtuosity https://www.instagram.com/p/CY2KsD3rlQ1/?utm_medium=tumblr

A student today asked me, apropos of nothing, if I say “album” what’s the first one you think of, and this was it. Hot Rats by Frank Zappa is a touchstone of my musical taste—I got the Ryko cd in this picture for Christmas as a sophomore in high school and it opened up entire worlds for me. It was also simply the first album to come out of my brain as a knee-jerk reaction today. As good a reason as any to listen to it tonight. #frankzappa #zappa #hotrats #captainbeefheart #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTiASasbaw/?igshid=1bwrhoikxke9n
