Apostrophe'
Frank Zappa ^ | '72 | Frank Zappa

Posted on 02/15/2018 11:18:06 PM PST by Eddie01

This is for those devoted but more so uninitiated.

I feel bad posting this work as Frank's larger catalog is extensive.

For me this is 101 stuff, insanely rudimentary but wonderful.

Enjoy.

Please don't add to this thread if you FAILED to listen to the Album.

How about putting on some headphones and shutting your pie hole for 40 min.?

My, my my!
Such hostility!

I need to get this on vinyl. I’ve got “Sleep Dirt” and “Joe’s Garage” on vinyl because I used to have them when I was a kid, but “Apostrophe” was a little before my time.

Joe’s Garage was my entry point.

Sleep Dirt was maybe 7 in.

Strictly Genteel.

I'm so old...

{{{How old are you?}}}

I'm so old that I first heard Zappa in my college dorm room
in the Fall of '66 just a few months after the album
"Freak Out!" was released.

I’ve always thought this was his best record.

Apostrophe’ is fantastic. I lost all my ripped CDs collection when my old iPhone 6Plus started acting up and I had to reset it as a new phone to see if it would work better after that. (It didn’t). I recently took the plunge and subscribed to Apple Music so I can listen to stuff when I’m not listening to my load of conservative podcasts, and I just upgraded to the 8 Plus yesterday and can’t be happier with Siri integrated with and Apple Music subscription. I’ve been playing with the new phone and while walking home last night I asked Siri, “Shuffle all frank Zappa songs”, and I was soon very pleased. Funny thing is Siri interprets the word “apostrphe” as the grammatical mark, so I couldn’t ask for that one specifically. I have to look into how to Siri works in that sense.

OK, so this was much more of an iPhone comment than a Zappa comment, but I am super happy to get my Zappa library back via Apple Music. I’m listening to Willie The Pimp at the moment. ;)

I've had Find her Finer stuck in my head all day now.

Apostrophe and Overnight Sensation are two of my more fav Frank albums.

Freak Out was my first exposure to Zappa in the 1960s. I got in at the beginning. Hot Rats was the first album where Frank really broke out in a big way with his soloing on Willie the Pimp.

I always thought Apostrophe was yet another milestone in his guitar playing as well as getting public exposure on the radio. Zappa’s guitar work on Nanook rubs it is stellar. He must have had the treble on 15.

I saw FZ when he and the band were touring behind this album’s release. Wonderful stuff.

Not really.

You are more a misused semicolon; that was separating incomplete clauses.

(Tres bizarre, non?)
