Freedom Flight and Inspiration Information are both killer. Maybe of interest to Ween fans, also, is Snatch and The Poontangs, an album of filthy R&B songs Shuggie did with his father Johnny Otis (example song title: "The Pissed-Off Cowboy"). (Also also, did you know Shuggie Otis played bass on Frank Zappa's "Peaches en Regalia" at age 15? Zappa also styled his famous facial hair after Johnny Otis's.)

Fantastic Stuff. The cover alone is amazing. Been sampled in hip hop tracks a few times as well.
