Description
Cut in late 1973 with Jack Bruce slipping into the lineup for the gnarly title jam, Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe (') nails the balance between sly satire and serious chops. The Yellow Snow suite lopes from Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow with a sly little bass slide before the first vocal bite, silly and razor tight at once. On Apostrophe' the trio chew through a loose instrumental groove, Bruce’s bass needling Jim Gordon’s pocket while Zappa fires off concise, singing lines. Uncle Remus glints with George Duke’s piano, a rare moment of gospel tinged sweetness amid the snark. This LP pressing opens up the space and the low end sits deeper. File it next to Captain Beefheart, though the arrangements here are cleaner and the jokes land sharper. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Frank Zappa records online with us. Great for a Saturday tidy where the riffs keep you moving and the gags still reward close listening. The humor ages surprisingly well because the playing is so exact. Smart, funny, and genuinely musical, it’s Zappa at his most approachable. Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
