ZAPPAtite-Frank Zappa’s Tastiest Tracks collects a healthy portion of Zappa’s best known and beloved 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 the many musical worlds of the visionary musician.

The album is divided into three courses – Appetizers, Entrees and Desserts – and the food-centric theme oozes throughout the album art, which features Zappa in a diner on the cover, a track list that resembles a menu and some of Zappa’s favorite eats. The 18 compositions that make up ZAPPAtite were compiled by Zappa’s son Ahmet Zappa and encyclopedic Zappa archivist, “Vaultmeister” Joe Travers. “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, that lean more towards the rock side of his expansive repertoire. I hope you're hungry because this meal for your ears rocks!"

Kicking off with the one-two punch of “I’m The Slime” and “Dirty Love” from Zappa’s 1973 watershed Gold album, Over-Nite Sensation, the collection quickly introduces Zappa’s eclecticism and salacious tongue as the songs meld polyrhythmic psychedelic rock and heavy funk with his trademark innuendo-filled lyrics. From there, the album travels through Zappa’s sprawling musical universe, highlighting vital songs and important eras of his career. The Appetizers portion also includes the GRAMMY® -nominated disco satire "Dancin' Fool” and the controversial European smash “Bobby Brown Goes Down” from Zappa’s popular 1979 album, Sheik Yerbouti; and “Trouble Every Day” from Zappa’s embryonic rock band the Mothers of Invention’s groundbreaking 1966 debut, Freak Out!. Entrees includes one of Zappa’s best known works, the universally loved instrumental “Peaches En Regalia from his classic 1969 solo sophomore record, Hot Rats; ubiquitous Top 40 hit “Valley Girl,” featuring his then 14-year-old daughter Moon Unit affecting a valley girl “gag-me-with-a-spoon” patois, from 1982’s Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch; to the possible autobiographical track from a parallel dimension “Joe’s Garage” of 1979’s LP of the same name; and the waggish blues rocker “Cosmik Debris” and the humorous “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow,” two standouts from one of Zappa’s most commercial and accessible albums, 1974’s Apostrophe (').

Desserts explores Zappa’s musical virtuosity and singular live performances and includes the comedic “Titties & Beer” from the 1978 live album, Zappa In New York; the frenetic Synclavier-fueled “G-Spot Tornado” from 1986’s Jazz From Hell; the anti-drug screed, “Cocaine Decisions” from 1983’s The Man From Utopia; and “Zoot Allures,” the heady instrumental featuring some of Zappa’s electrifying guitar playing, from 1976’s Zoot Allures. The album culminates with a performance of “Strictly Genteel” with the London Symphony Orchestra. The epic, orchestral-rock piece originally served as the grand finale to Zappa’s surrealist 1971 film, “200 Motels.”

First time on vinyl! 2LP black vinyl edition with gatefold jacket and “menu” insert.

Beautiful collectible FIFA puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This a 200 piece puzzle. It is a very well made laser cut wooden puzzle licensed by FIFA. It depicts the FIFA trophy. I like that the pieces are really solid and made of wood, about 3/16 of an inch thick (5mm). They are very durable and there is no puzzle dust. The puzzle is about 9x13 inches when finished, a perfect size for wall display. The colors are bright and the piece shapes are really out of this world. The back of the puzzle has some related designs imprinted. It is shipped in a brown box with the gift puzzle box inside the plain box, so it makes a nice gift. Included is a draw-string bag for piece storage and a laminating style sticky sheet to secure the puzzle for hanging. It looks good and will make a nice practical game room collectible. This is a nice value for a puzzle collectible display piece.

Beautiful, well made puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
I am a big jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. It's the norm for there to be a 1000 piece puzzle on my dining room table at any given moment. This is my first experience with a wooden puzzle and I have to say I think I am hooked. This is a small, 200 piece puzzle, but it was so much fun! What I loved - *Let's just start with how pretty and vibrant this puzzle is! The colors are bright and it's print is sharp. *The pieces are beautifully laser cut and finished. No rough edges or burrs. *There are several specialty pieces, most are soccer related. What a great touch! *The pieces fit beautifully. *It comes with a pull string bag for storage and the items necessary to preserve and hang once completed. I am a fan and plan to order more of these fun puzzles!

FIFA World Cup mascots t shirt - very cute!
The t shirt is very nice. I was looking for 2xl but because they didn't have I purchased 3xl. Not a huge difference between the sizes and a wash will probably solve the problem. My husband liked it!
