Frank Zappa

Given the size of the Frank Zappa discography ad the fact that Hughesy’s interest started to fade around Hot Rats and had almost completely evaporated mid-way through the seventies (the sort of thing that happens when a combination of no one to discuss the stuff with, limited finances and interests heading in other directions kick in) there’s probably no need for a comprehensive discography here.

But at the same time, it’s handy to have a reference, the Zappa Family Trust have embarked on this massive reissue and remaster program and there’s every chance something about the albums up to and including Weasels will end up being acquired and reviewed hereabouts...

And the following chronology gives a fair indication of the man’s prodigious output...
