Frank Zappa<\/a>‘s 2016 compilation, ZAPPAtite \u2013 Frank Zappa\u2019s Tastiest Tracks, will be released through Zappa Records\/UMe on July 17, on vinyl for the very first time.<\/p>\n

The career-spanning collection was originally released on CD in 2016 and features some of Zappa\u2019s best-known and best-loved compositions and was viewed as a gateway into the visionary musician\u2019s many sonic worlds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t a greatest hits album, as Frank didn\u2019t really have \u2018hits,\u2019 per se, nor is it a \u2018best of,\u2019 since it would be impossible to fit so much awesome onto one disc,\u201d says Ahmet Zappa. \u201cIt\u2019s a veritable smorgasbord of musicality for the curious and a buffet of favourites for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album is divided into four courses \u2014 Appetizers, Entr\u00e9es, Second Course and Desserts \u2014 and the food-centric theme carries throughout the artwork, which features Zappa in a diner on the cover, a tracklist designed like a menu.<\/p>\n

ZAPPAtite \u2013 Frank Zappa\u2019s Tastiest Tracks will be available as a 2LP set on black vinyl and a limited-edition 2LP colour exclusive on pink swirl vinyl, both featuring a gatefold jacket and \u201cmenu\u201d insert. The CD version will once again be available.<\/p>\n
