Liner Notes

  • "A gypsy mutant industrial vacuum cleaner dances about a mysterious night time camp fire. Festoons. Dozens of imported castanets, clutched by the horrible suction of its heavy duty hose, waving with marginal erotic abondon in the midnight autumn air." - Written in small print on the album cover concerning the insert art, and supposedly Transylvania Boogie the opening track.
  • "All the vocals in this album are (the word are is drawn above and replaces a crossed out - were) a preview of the story of 200 MOTELS. Coming. Soon. Near. You."

Background Information

For the front cover, Calvin Schenkel designed a spoof on cheesy horror-movie ads, featuring cartoony wording and a photo that turned out not to be Frank screaming, as at first glance, but yawning (“Chunga’s Revenge” therefore being revealed as a funny Zappa term for weariness).

Conceptual Continuity

Alternate Cover

Chunga's Revenge olive sleeve, with same color panel on reverse. Used on UK 1st issue vinyl.
