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
