Wowie zowie! My add-on rewards from @zappamovie are finally in my possession! It took some doing, but I am now the proud owner of the @zappa albums #freakout, #overnitesensation, #apostrophe and #sheikyerbouti on #cassette! Dig that low-fi goodness! And they all came individually shrink wrapped! The plastic cases look really beat up though. Then again, why shouldn’t they? They’re from, like, the 80s. In fact, My babe was really shocked when he saw me take Freak Out out of the shrink wrap. “Don’t do that!” He said. “You could sell it for a lot if you leave the wrapping on!” But babe. Why would I want to sell these gems? The whole reason I buy things like these, be they vinyl records, movies on VHS, Super Nintendo cartridges or whatever the case... is because I want to use them. I want to play with them. How can I play with my toys if I don’t take them out of the box first? (at Laredo, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMiHQejHRRA/?igshid=1o49xhj6oayll

“Baby Snakes”

Sheik Yerbouti is a double album by Frank Zappa, first released in March 1979 as the first release on Zappa Records (distributed by Phonogram Inc.). It is mostly made up of live material recorded in 1977 and 1978.

Sheik Yerbouti represented a major turning point in Zappa’s career. It was the first album to be released on his own eponymous label after his departure from Warner Bros. Records. It emphasized the comedic aspect of his lyrics more than ever before, beginning a period of increased record sales and mainstream media attention. Sheik Yerbouti remains Zappa’s biggest selling album worldwide with over 2 million units sold to date.

The title is a play on words; Zappa appears on the cover in character in Arab headdress, and the name, meant to resemble an Arabic transcription, is pronounced like the title of KC and the Sunshine Band’s 1976 disco hit “Shake Your Booty”.

Baby Snakes is a movie which includes footage from Frank Zappa’s 1977 Halloween concert at New York City’s Palladium Theater, backstage antics from the crew, and stop motion clay animation from award-winning animator Bruce Bickford.

Initially, the film had particular difficulty finding a distributor. Frank Zappa tried to interest United Artists, the company that released 200 Motels, but they declined. Other studios followed United Artists’ lead, fearing that Zappa’s “cinematic style” had lost considerable appeal in 70s pop culture, and also declined to distribute the film. Several European distributors told Zappa that there might be interest if the running time was cut from its original 168-minute length. The film was cut to 90 minutes, but still, there were no takers. Even after Bruce Bickford’s sequences won first prize at a French animated film competition, there was no interest. Eventually Zappa took it upon himself to distribute the film independently, via his own production company, Intercontinental Absurdities. The film ran 24 hours a day at the Victoria Theater in New York City. (This can be clearly seen in the opening credits to the film, “Eaten Alive,” partly filmed in New York at the time Baby Snakes was playing. You can clearly see the theater marquee in said opening credits.) It made a handsome profit.
