I'm a major fan of 'Bongo Fury' and see it as a lot more than just a Zappa album feat. the Captain. Firstly, the inclusion of dons spoken word stuff (Sam with the flattop showing bringing us the entire album's title) seeps a lot more beefheart into the album that if he were
just a guest. Let's face it, without him it would be just another live zappa album. Don't get me wrong, there's no fault in live zappa albums but add Don and it becomes something special.
