Tinsel Town Rebellion is a double live album released by Frank Zappa in May 1981. The album was conceived by Zappa after he scrapped the planned albums Warts and All and Crush All Boxes, and contains tracks that were intended for those albums. The title track is a satire of the punk rock scene, describing a band that adopts the punk style to get a record deal. The album also contains reworked recordings of older Zappa songs, including Love of My Life, I Ain't Got No Heart, Tell Me You Love Me...

Zoot Allures is the 22nd album by Frank Zappa, released in October 1976 and his only release on the Warner Bros. record label. Due to a lawsuit with his former manager, Herb Cohen, Zappa's recording contract was temporarily reassigned from DiscReet Records to Warner Bros. The album was originally conceptualized as a double LP, but Zappa rearranged, edited, and shortened the track listing to what was eventually released as a single album. The album title is a typical Zappa pun, playing on the ...

Chunga's Revenge is the third solo album by Frank Zappa, released on 23 October 1970. Zappa's first effort of the 1970s marked the first appearance of former Turtles members Flo & Eddie on a Zappa record, and signalled the dawn of a controversial epoch in Zappa's history. Chunga's Revenge represents a shift from both the satirical political commentary of his 1960s work with The Mothers of Invention, and the jazz fusion of Hot Rats. See below for full description.

It was also one of the earliest double albums in rock music, as well as the first two-record debut album. The album was produced by Tom Wilson and features Zappa on vocals and guitar, along with l...

Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti (2015 Reissue) Sheik Yerbouti is as close as Frank Zappa came to chasing after commercial success. It even spawned a minor hit single in Bobby Brown Goes Down, and the disco send- up Dancin’ Fool. If Zappa’s humour appeals to you, then this is probably going to be your favourite Zappa album, being full of (mostly dirty) jokes about Carter-era America. Track Listing: I Have Been in You Flakes Broken Hearts Are for Assholes I'm So Cute Jones Crusher What Ever Happened ...
