Review by Evolver
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Crossover & JR/F/Canterbury Teams

There are many different Rykodisk in-store play promotional compilations out there, and this one may be the sloppiest. The title seems to suggest that these tracks were once getting radio airplay, but I'm sure that is not so. There just isn't any rhyme or reason to the selections. Mostly, they are Zappa's more popular songs. But again, that doesn't fit the entire album.

Also sloppy is the mix. Volume levels vary greatly from track to track, and often, due to the way Frank would string songs together on his albums, some tracks fade out before their true endings. And the mixes appear to be from the early CD releases, where the bass is pumped, the high end bites through, and the middle sometimes gets lost.

The good points are that it has the original Trouble Every Day, Oh No and America Drinks And Goes Home.

Not much here for anyone but a collector. Buy the original albums. All of them.
