Dunno, I was hoping you'd know more about it than me.

I'll vouch for _The Lost Episodes_ if you're a Zappa fan.
It has the definitive version of "Sharleena," so good it
brings tears to my eyes. The whole last 35 minutes
(except for "I Don't Wanna Get Drafted") is fantastic,
especially "The Grand Wazoo," "Basement Music," "RDNZL"
and the proto-"Inca Roads." Oh, and "Wino Man" is
exquisite.
Not for the non-Zappa fan tho.....
Cheers,
Kenneth
