Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio

I'm more interested in the instrumental side of Frank / Mothers. This is what I have so far:

The Yellow Shark: Personally, I think this is far and away
the best thing he ever did.
Waka Jawaka
Apostrophe / Overnight sensation
Civilization Phase 3
Hot Rats
Essential Zappa
Classical Zappa
Orchestral Favorites
Studio Tan
Guitar
Freak Out

It turns out I had more than I thought. Looking to fill in the holes in my collection. I took out "Lather" from the local library and thought it was ok. What about Chunga's Revenge (SP?)and Mothers Live (think it was a live concert recording from Austin, Tx.)?

Hi,
yep, you need "Chunga's Revenge"
also Mothers "Filmore East 1971" for the sheer exhuberance that Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan contribute.
and then, of course Zappa & Beefheart "Bongo Fury"
oh, and "Shut up 'n play yer guitar"
