The superlative repackaging and remastering undertaken by Ryko has put the original three-part, two-record set of this magnificent nonsense tale together for the first time. This is back to the madness of Freak Out, with more pop and doo-wop bursting through all the complicated stuff, letting you know that Zappa could write a hit single, if he could be bothered to do so. Joe's Garage is a hoot and harmlessly pornographic. The sleeve-note states that it is "a stupid story about how the government is trying to do away with music." It is absolutely no coincidence that throughout, the listener mistakes the "scrutinizer" as the "scrotumizer." Zappa was that rude, and that funny.

Rolling Stone (1/17/02, p.52) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...An uncommonly succinct single-minded endeavor....genuinely witty and well-conceived..."
Q (8/95, pp.150-151) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this enjoyably low-budget satirical opera about masturbation, appliance-fetishism and the outlawing of music is done largely in smooth soul-jazz style..."

As a kid, I knew of Zappa, but was not a follower. I heard Ike Willis sing when he appeared with the All Star's of Paul Green;s School of Rock., and I fell in love with his voice. He mentioned Joe' sGarage a few times during the show, and it aroused my curiosity. The more I listen to it, the more I appreciate the humor. I am becoming a Zappa fan throught the All Star's Zappa repertoire, and will buy more Zappa.

This is the first album I heard by Zappa, and I was completely blown away. He surely is a musical genius, and will remain legendary, forever.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Zappa's Joe's Garage
First heard this in '87 and now I finally own a copy. It is well worth a listen. If you've heard 'Billy & The Mountain' (From the album Just Another Band From LA) then you'll like this ... it is music that only Zappa could create.

Synopsis of book: "Fine Tunes" by Mark Whitty =================The idea for this book came after "Under The Influence" jazz CD was released. The tunes were a tribute to Melbourne jazz musicians who were friends and mentors to Mark in the 1960s.=============== Ch(1) Freddy Thomas was always Mark's idol as a first chair class trumpet man who was very humble and enjoyed having good sidemen playing with him. Mark would go to dances just to hear him. He was director of music on channel 9 TV show, "In Melbourne Tonight". He also became a good friend to Mark and his sons in the 1980s. Ch(2) Tommy Davidson was a dear friend in the 1960's and moved to Narooma in the 1980's. He formed a jazz trio with Mark, who learnt a lot from him about the music business. Ch(3) Harry Price was a friend of Des Edwards, Mark's trumpet hero. Mark admired Harry from the distance and met him at Des' place in South Melbourne. He likes his song. Ch(4) Denis Farrington AO is an institution in Melbourne. Mark's friend since the sixties. He gave him lots of advice and gigs, he also gave lots of help to Mark's son Patrick. Ch(5) Les Cooper (piano) was a good friend to Mark and gave him lots of "Drum" on the music game. He was a source of encouragement in many ways. A real aussie gentleman. Ch(6) Freddy Harrison was a regular patron of jazz venues. He was a character you would want to stay on the right side of and whom many held in fear. Most joints were rather seedy as was the case in those days. Despite that the music was always first class and Freddy loved it. ...
