RockerNRollerFrank Zappa - 'Apostrophe (')'. 🎸🟡❄️💿 (22 March 1974)
Following a similar formula to 1973’s 'Over-Nite Sensation', with tight, proggy, funky, groove-driven shorter songs packed with Frank Zappa’s sharp, bizarre humour and complex, inventive arrangements, this is often considered the album that pushed him further into the mainstream at the time, thanks in part to the novelty hit "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow". As some of the material was developed during the same recoding sessions as 'Over-Nite Sensation', Tina Turner and the Ikettes make another, and final, appearance on a Zappa record, providing backing vocals on two tracks. Whilst parts of the production may sound slightly dated compared to subsequent albums, the musicianship remains as stellar as ever. Nonetheless, 'Apostrophe (')' remains an important record in his discography to this day in my opinion, and I greatly enjoy it whenever I give it a spin, especially on its anniversary.
