That RED COUCH on the cover was a well known world wide Campaign to photograph The same Red Couch in places all over the planet. Including the Album cover for this record. Early 1970's.

Weird listening to this without it sliding right into Sofa#1.

@danu6718 5 месяцев назад

Yes. Sofa is superb. I love that composition so much.

I was 18 when this album came out in 1975. The USA was in an economic recession, which is the subject of Can’t Afford No Shoes. “Get a good deal on tape” was a reference to using duct tape to keep your worn out shoes together.

The second song on the first Zappa album I bought at age 15 with my hard-to-come-by-$5 teenage money. The ambiguous line in this is "I get a good deal on tape." That means he gets his tape at a decent price or he gets a good deal of music on tape. Zappa always got a lot of music recorded, so I go with the latter.

It's definitely your listening source. Definitely. Zappa's albums are probably the best produced albums ever. They're top notch. Only his first few albums were produced by Tom Wilson, Zappa did the rest. Tom Wilson was producing the Velet Underground at the same time. Tom Wilson was a genius engineer who produced Sun Ra, Bob Dylan and many great jazz artists in the sixties.

Whereas this track is dark tinged humour, you should try John Lee Hooker’s “No Shoes”. One of the most heart breaking songs ever written. You can feel the poverty seeping out of this track, a cold winter chill.

Great song,unfortunately never play live,pyjama People too

@larryhelmeczy4320 5 месяцев назад

Good Reaction. I thought you've done all the songs off from this, one of his best albums, but perhaps not. It segues directly into Sofa so it makes typical Zappa sense when hearing it sequentially. Frank was playing a prototype fretless guitar for the solo, but I don't know it if it was detuned or not.

@antidote7 5 месяцев назад

Must be youtube, because, the album is generally known as having great production.

@jonasolsson2256 5 месяцев назад

If I’m not wrong this is Frank playing a fretless guitar, as on SAN B’erdino.

@hansvandermeulen5515 5 месяцев назад

His fretless Acoustic Black Widow (an electric, solid body guitar, Acoustic was just the brand name).

@ManuMasson 4 месяца назад

It was a prototype Zappa bought for $75. The manufacturer Acoustic scratched off the name on the guitar because they didn’t want people to know they had made such a guitar. 😉

@Peter-K 5 месяцев назад

He didn't leave you hanging, on the album this segues right into Sofa 1. This album, like many of his, are designed to flow from one song to the next, and usually there is a radical change, yet somehow, it works really well.

@@SightAfterDark I felt like a dope after posting that comment, AND THEN searching if you had reacted to that one...oh well, live and learn. How about Mr. Bungle? have I missed your reactions to the best band ever?

This song references the great Recession of '73-74 caused by the OPEC oil embargo. Hence, can't afford no shoes (or much of anything). I was coming of age and remember it well. I always thought "went to buy some cheap detergent, some emergent nation got my load" was a great line highlighting the new reality of the American Empire. That is, gee there's other people on the planet who want to live a decent life. Who knew? We continue to pay the price of ignoring that reality and it will bite us in the ass sooner or later. Sooner, methinks.

who listens to music from RU-vid?? The production on these albums are excellent. you guys need to pay for a proper streaming account because YT music always sounds shit.

@paulfenwick8767 5 месяцев назад

It's a long way from Frank's best but still "OK" I guess. Everything, by some of his standards says very average. The guitar isn't particularly good, yet I see some of the dead heads raving about it. What difference does it make if he's playing fretless guitar if it's not that good anyway? Camarillo Brillo isn't on this album. Some of his seque's are a bit tiresome and predictable. All that said, average Zappa is better than lots of other stuff so good pick Wayne in that respect.

@ryecroftdave 5 месяцев назад

Paul, I've always loved this track, it tells a story, brilliantly. That he played a fretless guitar was that he was experimenting, as ever. That's what he did ... And Frank wasn't one to need to be rated, he played to entertain, himself and his audience. I guess you don't like it, I love it, it's all subjective.

@mikedemike5393 5 месяцев назад

agreed....love this album but this and another song were really country styled tunes...San Berdino is better but in the same vein....

@paulfenwick8767 5 месяцев назад

@@ryecroftdave I take your point but with his experimentation, what a lot of Zappa zealots can't get is that it doesn't always work. Not every note he played was genius. I'll take imperfections and "bad" though over predictability any day. Warts and all as they say. 🙂

@theopinionatedhippie470 5 месяцев назад

I have spent decades making Zappa web pages and posting videos ranting and raving about Zappa and his discography. Have thousands of bootleg shows in cassette and CD….hardcore fan. BUT I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG!!!!!

@mikedemike5393 5 месяцев назад

same here...a bit of a throw away song...topic was real...off the gold standard and Bush and co had OPEC raise the price of oil...recession followed and inflation rose where interest rates reached 18% by 1980....good work Adam Smith...
