THE COMPLETE FRANK ZAPPA
AUDIO-VISUAL CATALOG
October 1993
Version 2
by Dennis Kiracofe
Frank Zappa is arguably the most brilliant and avant-garde
musician/composer/sociologist/humorist working today. But because his music receives little if any radio air-play, most mainstream record stores won't carry his albums.
I have compiled this list out of the sheer frustration of trying to
collect all of Frank Zappa's recordings and not knowing just exactly what is available.
What follows is the most complete and up-to-date listing that I know of.
Where available, I have also included the song list of the recording.
Most or all of these recordings can be obtained directly from Frank
Zappa's mail order company. Write to:
BARFKO-SWILL
P.O. Box 5418
North Hollywood, CA 91616
or call the Zappa Hotline:
1-818-PUM-PKIN

Also, there is a top-notch "fanzine" being published by the
International Frank Zappa Society called "Society Pages". Subscription rates are $20 for 5 issues. Send your check or money order to:
