The album features Ike Willis as the voice of "Joe", a stereotypical garage band youth who unwittingly journeys through the miasma of the music business. Zappa provides the voice of the "Central Scrutinizer" character—a mechanical voice that narrates the story and haunts Joe's psyche with McCarthyistic 50s-era discouragement and "scrutiny."The album was originally issued in two parts, the first part being a single LP of Act I, and the second part being a double-LP set of Acts II & III. All three acts were later issued together as a box set, and on compact disc as a double-CD. The major themes of the story include groupie migration, mockery of Scientology, appliance fetishism, garage bands, and above all censorship of music as an artform.Joe's Garage is particularly noteworthy for its extensive use of Zappa's xenochrony technique, in which guitar solos from older, completely unrelated recordings were extracted and overdubbed onto new songs. With the exception of "Watermelon in Easter Hay" and "Crew Slut", all Zappa's solos on the album were constructed in this way.Type: AlbumMPN: 238612Release Year: 2012Tracks: Disc 11: The Central Scrutinizer2: Joe's Garage3: Catholic Girls4: Crew Slut5: Fembot in a Wet T-shirt6: On the Bus7: Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?8: Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up9: Scrutinizer Postlude10: A Token of My Extreme11: Stick It Out12: Sy BorgDisc 21: Dong Work for Yuda2: Keep It Greasey3: Outside Now4: He Used to Cut the Grass5: Packard Goose6: Watermelon in Easter Hay7: A Little Green Rosetta Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
