Either way, since his death, his stature as a serious composer has grown. Lumpy Gravy missed most by a mile because it was the first of Zappa's 'challenging' orchestral pieces, and not what his audience had come to expect. Performed by the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra \u0026amp; Chorus, it was a lengthy instrumental suite broken up by equally 'challenging' dialogue. On the back cover, Frank looks out and asks, 'is this phase 2 of We're Only In It For The Money?'. No, we don't think so.","brand":"Frank Zappa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52536774885607,"sku":"QVFYEM-HP6I-G0","price":36.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/6212\/7591\/files\/frank-zappa-lumpy-gravy-lp_m6x8t.jpg?v=1788053382","url":"https:\/\/www.normandierecords.com\/en-mx\/products\/frank-zappa-lumpy-gravy-lp","provider":"Normandie Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
