Compilation Album
A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one or several performers. If by one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set. If from several performers, there may be a theme, topic, time period, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album. When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.

"Peaches en Regalia" is an instrumental jazz fusion composition by Frank Zappa. It was released on Zappa's album '' Hot Rats'' in 1969 and has been recorded many times since. It was also released as a single in 1970, with "Little Umbrellas" as the B-side.François Couture: Peaches en Regalia reviewon AllMusic—retrieved on March 14, 2009 Zappa used the piece on many of his tours, often as either the opening or the encore of a show. "Peaches en Regalia" has been included in the "underground" version of ''The Real Book'', despite being compositionally more complicated than typical jam session tunes. Having a song included in the book has been described as "the ultimate insider credential for a jazz composer". The tune is used as instrumental background music on the BBC London radio programme presented by Danny Baker, as well as the '' Elis James and John Robins'' show on BBC Radio 5 Live. It was also the theme tune for the early 1970s BBC2 show ''One Man's Week''. A cover of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

When the Mystery Man gets pushy, Zappa as the narrator tells how he snatched the crystal ball, hypnotized the Mystery Man, stole his stuff and blew his mind.
