ZAPPAtite

"ZAPPAtite : Frank Zappa’s Tastiest Tracks" collects a healthy portion of Zappa’s best known compositions, from his early psychedelic rock beginnings to his avant garde experimentation, jazz rock explorations, symphonic suites and satirical send ups, compiling them into one easily digestible collection and offering key entryways into his many musical worlds.

It’s divided into 3 courses. 'Appetizers', 'Entrees' and 'Desserts' and the food centric theme oozes through the album art, which features Zappa in a diner on the cover and a track list resembling a menu.

“This isn’t a greatest hits album as Frank didn’t really have ‘hits’, per se, nor is it a ‘best of’, since that would be an impossibility to fit so much awesome onto one disc”, says Ahmet Zappa. “It’s a veritable smorgasbord of musicality for the curious and a buffet of favorites for the fans, 'ZAPPAtite' collects a cross section of my favorite songs composed by my dad. I hope you're hungry, because this meal for your ears rocks”.
