Frank Zappa - ZAPPAtite: Frank Zappa's Tastiest Tracks

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 & satirical send ups, compiling them into one easily digestible collection and offering key entryways into his many musical worlds. It's divided into 4 courses: Appetizers, Entrees, Second Course, and Desserts. The food-centric theme oozes through the album art, which features Zappa in a diner on the cover and a tracklist 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!"
