Review: Frank Zappa 'Apostrophe (') 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Editon' 

Always thumbs up for Frank Zappa guitar solos. He was such a genius!

like how your dog barked at nanook

Uncle Remus, Stink Foot, Cosmic Debris, St Alphonso's, Nanook, Yellow Snow... etc etc... damn freaking musical masterpiecie. Forever... FZ!

Pete you sold me with that review

Thanks, Pete!

Excellent review! Can't wait to buy! Let's go Mets!!

Tremendous review. Thanks again for a Saturday morning special. Pete 👍💯

Peak Zappa, apart from 11 minute Apostrophe outtake all other stuff is on 'Crux of the Biscuit' but i don't care, great sets, best band,

It's about time for this box set,my old vinyl copy has seen better days

Are you getting the Mothers of Invention Whisky a Go Go, 1968 which came out in June this year?

My fave album of '74. More bonus swill! Tala's Arf! Can't decide what's more amazing: that ' was so odd yet also a newcomers should start here album, or the band(s) he assembled this era and their ability to play FZ's type of music and do it so well. Thanks Pete!

As an aside, Cool tee shirt Pete. I used to look at that photo from the back of "Rides Again" when listening to the album. I wish they would make a new one before someone passes away. Surely they can come up with a solid 35+ min. of new good music.

Your timing is impeccable Pete. My beloved 3rd pick. How can anyone overlook this guy. He can also play a bicycle! If anyone doesn't believe me, go ask Steve Allen. My Brother is getting this. To me he is hilarious, and has always challenged my reality.

What do you need to play that darn dolby atmos?

Hello, my favourit disc to Frank Zappa and Cosmik debris to the best song

Editing the time lapse with unboxing and review works well.

A good program, would be favorite for favorite secret weapon musicians that don't play guitar bass and drums and don't sing. I think that Ruth Underwood was Frank's secret weapon on every album that she played on.

I have it. Very nice boxset. The blueray quadro is very strange. Joe Travers did a good job again.

Not a massive Zappa collector or listener, entirely my fault, but this is one edition I would be into

A top three Zappa album for me. I can never decide on the ranking order. Might have to grab this box set. Thanks for the review, Pete. Appreciated, good sir.

What I like about Frank Zappa, just like Bob Dylan. Frank zappa was never afraid to take risks. While some band and solo artists would stick same formular.

Man, I really wish the 50th anniversary vinyl release had more of that sweet live stuff.

Thank you for this great review! ❤️

Great review. I need this!

Pete, thanks for the shout out to Ruth. Astonishing musician who gets recognition but not enough in my opinion. According to Barry Anderson's interview with Ahmet Zappa, Frank did a quad mix. Is it his on the Blu-ray?

Wonder if there will be one for Overnite Sensation?

I never got Zappa...I don't get it.

Watch out where the huskies go😂

Zappa Store: "Arguably the most popular album in the Frank Zappa catalog. Apostrophe(‘) has consistently been a best-seller. It was Zappa’s first Gold Record Award in the U.S., peaking at #10 on the Billboard 200 chart. The “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow” single also made the Billboard Top 100 Hits chart, peaking at #87. The success of Apostrophe(‘) brought along a new awareness for Zappa and through the years, the album has been a go-to for most when discovering his music"...Also comes in a 2LP version + 'expanded' 7" disk. I'm thinking this is for 'hard core' Zappa fans but then again, how many 'real' Zappa fans are not hard core? I'm actually one - the Zappa stuff that I like I LOVE (mostly due to Zappa's guitar) but there's also A LOT of Zappa I can do without (the 'weirder' experimental/orchestral/classical/lyrically puerile stuff). I once roomed with two friends who were Zappa fanatics & basically owned (and constantly listened to) everything he ever recorded. So I have a mild case of PTSD stemming from that when it comes to FZ - but this is a great album & easily one of his best/one of my Zappa favorites. Yet I don't feel the need to own this. I'm sure it's a great package & well worth the $'s (seems to go for about $100/$65 for the vinyl set) if you're one of the aforementioned hard core Zappa-ites. The live stuff is most likely the money here - "That's Ruth"...BTW great James Gang (Joe Walsh) shirt!

Thanks Pete . I have ordered my copy . The first shipment had sold out but I should get my copy in about a month or so .🦭🙂
