The teenage FZ, as recalled in The Real Frank Zappa Book, used to collect Excello records: "There was a place in San Diego on the ground floor of the Maryland Hotel where you could buy R&B singles unobtainable elsewhere - all those Lightnin' Slim and Slim Harpo sides on the Excello label."
Much of the Excello catalogue has been reissued on CD.
