I just call it 4.
Side 1 is ridiculously good.

From the horse’s mouth:
"The painting of a 19th-century farm labourer with sticks on his back was in fact a serendipitous acquisition; Plant had picked it up in a Reading second-hand emporium when out shopping with Page. Hung on a peeling wall in front of half-demolished terraced houses and a tower block in Winson Green, Birmingham and photographed by Keith Morris, it seemed to represent the struggle between old and new; of rural life subsumed by the modern world.
The gatefold painting inside depicted The Hermit from the Rider Waite tarot deck by an artist credited as ‘Barrington Colby M O M’. Some Zeppelin watchers have suggested Colby was a pseudonym for former art student Page. Not so.
“Barrington Coleby [his surname appears to have been misspelt on the album] was a friend of mine from Epsom,”

FunKadelic.Cosmic slop.
There’s me thinking I was cool dancing the cosmic strut on the acid house warehouse floors, when in fact I was dancing the cosmic slop.

I have encountered this issue too but seems not to be the case in this instance.
Another use has now reported the same problem which I can use to advise Qobuz that it is an issue and is not me.

On the old cathode ray tube tonight, Beeb 4 9.00pm Zappa
Might be worth a butchers…
Not sure if this is new or a repeat
I’ve only listened to Zappa very casually and cursory so this might be a catalyst for further exploration, I have the first press of Joe’s Garage and a mate used to play Sheikh Yerbouti which included a song that went something like A horny little Jewish princess with titanic tits and sand blasted zits not sure if its anti semitic but I doubt he’d get away with that today

I think it might be a repeat @Dreadatthecontrols, I watched a documentary about FZ a few months back and it was very good. However if it’s a new one even better! I’ve hit the record button.

Streaming on Qobuz (48/24)… a mention from @Lorro1 and @AndyP above had me place in the queue and now taking out for a spin. Opening track is sounding mighty fine and looking forward to the rest of the album…

Playing right now on Tidal. I was drawn in by the title, the cover art – and, of course, by your recommendation. And it’s terrific.
