I’m a big frank zappa fan, i love listening to the albums that are just really really funny “sheik yur bouti, joe’s garage, over nite sensation…what other albums are really funny? please help me out..

Is there any place to buy Frank Zappa songs legally online?

I’m looking to buy just a couple of tracks from a few albums, but so far, I’ve come up empty. Is this a Beatles type of situation, where Frank’s estate just isn’t releasing his music for download?

Keep in mind I’m not interested in Limewire or anything like that. I want to pay for downloads that actually give money to the artist (or in this case, his estate). I just can’t find any.
I should have specified, I’m looking for a couple of downloads from “Fillmore East” and “200 Motels.” I didn’t see any Zappa on Napster … I know Amazon has a few downloads, but I didn’t see anything for those albums when I looked last night. I’ll take another peek today.

iTunes drives me nuts, but I can take a there, too.

Thanks for your replies so far!
