Here's an original idea for a Christmas gift for the musical connoisseur of the family. As part of a Universal Records reissue of four LPs on vinyl by Stereo MC's, Siouxsie & The Banshees and Level 42. The Zappa Family Trust have released a freshly remastered 40th Anniversary Edition of Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe (’) on 180-gram vinyl. Cut directly from the original quarter-inch stereo analog master tapes, the special edition of the iconic 1974 album is out now in time for Christmas.
Including “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow” and “Cosmik Debris” amongst its original nine tracks, Apostrophe (’) was actually Frank's highest-charting album, peaking at No. 10 on the Billboard 200. The Gold-certified album has been remastered for vinyl by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and manufactured for the world at Pallas Group in Germany.
Zappa was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received the GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. The official biography: Frank Zappa, American composer, fl. 1940-1993.
