Frank Zappa CD Albums page 1 

Most of you will be aware that the entire back catalogue on Rykodisc was removed from sale in December 2011. (see here for our last remaining Ryko CDs).
But it's all being re-released starting on July 30 with the twelve titles below, with another twelve titles to follow each month until November.

Some titles have been transferred from the original analogue master tapes (i.e. the vinyl version) and re-mastered for this release. These all have significantly improved sound compared to the previous CD versions. In some cases there are also significant changes to some tracks which are noted below.

The reissues are now on Zappa Records and come in clear jewel cases. Uncle Meat is 2 CDs in a single size case. The artwork is mostly unchanged except for credits and logos, though the print quality is improved. Other changes are noted below.

Available Now!

Single CDs: UK £13.00 . . Europe £15.80 . . Rest £14.35

Double CDs: UK £14.50 . . Europe £17.30 . . Rest £15.60
