Additional notes

Album Notes: LATHER (pronounced "leather") was recorded in the 1970s and originally intended as a 4-LP box set. It was, however, never released that way; instead, the material from the project dribbled out over the course of 1978 and 1979 on the albums ZAPPA IN NEW YORK, SLEEP DIRT, STUDIO TAN, ORCHESTRAL FAVORITES and SHEIK YERBOUTI.

Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (10/3/96, p.71) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "If...Zappa had released the four-LP set LATHER as intended in 1977, it would have been his most significant album since 1969's UNCLE MEAT....LATHER whips the length and breadth of Zappa's extensive musical concerns into a challenging froth, making this a particularly fine introduction to his work..."

The not-so-Perfect Stranger
Review of Perfect Stranger, The (Boulez Conducts Zappa) - Frank Zappa by Tezmordo

Advantages: First true orchestral outing since 200 Motels
Disadvantages: Slightly Muddy sound, Early synclavier sounds

...I've been a fan of Zappa for many years, and could probably bore you to tears with the minutiae of every song, every piece of music released over the last 40 years. BUT here is my unbiased view of this particular offering. This album is a collection of chamber works commisioned by the Ensemble InterContemporian, interspersed with some early works for Synclavier (here cited as the Barking Pumpkin Digital Gratification Consort). The Ensemble InterContemporian perform three works on the album - The Perfect Stranger being the only substantially new work (Naval Aviation in Art? dating from around 1975/1976 being released on Orchestral Favorites and later on Lather, and Dupree's Paradise dating from around 1972/1973, but not actually released in it's original form until after the Perfect Stranger!). The remainder - Girl in the Magnesium... Read review

Cheap at twice the price
Review of Cheap Thrills [ECD] - Frank Zappa by welshpete

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...'If we can't be free, we can at least be cheap', said Frank Zappa. When you pick up a CD and the price label says £3.99, you expect it to be by some nobobdy who had one No.37 hit ten years ago. When it says Zappa on it you may as well buy it there and then. When you then look and see titles like 'Joe's Garage', 'The Torture Never Stops' and 'You are what you is' you must think that some 16 year old assistant has put the wrong sticker on it and it should be £13.99. However, the price is right and whether you buy it as a starter to get into Zappa, or as a quick addition to your bulging FZ collection, it will be the best few pounds you spend. From the Lennon voice on 'I could be a star now' to 'My guitar wants to kill your mama' it is pure quality of some of the more accessible Zappa. Used as a foil to something like The Yellow Shark...

Zappa's use of apostrophe ' ' ' '
Review of Apostrophe - Frank Zappa by chrisman225

Advantages: An insight into the great mind that was - Frank Zappa
Disadvantages: May be a little to wild for some people.

...Apostrophe was released in 1974 on the 'Zappa' label. Track One - Don't Eat the Yellow Snow '' Quite a famous track for Zappa, but at 2mins 7secs it doesn't really provide much of an insight into what the album is going to be like. Also, as you probably have already understood, the 'yellow snow' meaning. Track Two - Nanook Rubs It ' Another funny track from Zappa, but once again doesn't really show his great creativity. Track Three - St. Alfonzo's pancake breakfast '' From the title you can probably grasp that this track is going to be quite interesting... and you wouldn't be wrong. Very tight... Read review
