There’s his early period with The Mothers of Invention, where his music was more experimental and came with a sharp satirical bent. Where does the neophyte start?Īlthough Zappa released a hell of a lot of music during his lifetime, his career is pretty easily broken up into chunks. Suddenly: a wealth of albums to choose from, a whole wall of them at some retailers. After all, not only is Zappa no longer among us, but also his albums have been out of print for years and his music’s rarely played on the radio. Just finding out where to start is a daunting task for those new to his music. Not to mention live compilations and albums resisting such easy labeling. This was no tiny feat: the reissues came in waves and by it’s end, some 65 albums were reissued, covering everything from his forays into doo-wop, experimental music collages, jazz and hard rock.
Starting last June, and running all the way throughout 2012, the entire Frank Zappa catalogue was re-issued by Universal.
