Title: Strictly Commercial: The Best of Frank Zappa
Description: Rykodisc, 1995. Audio CD. 5.5 X 5.0 X 0.5 inches; LIKE NEW DISC AND JEWEL BOX. Full liner notes. 19 tracks. "For all of his many attributes, one thing Frank Zappa most certainly was not is commercial. Presumably, the title of this collection is ironic. Strictly Commercial: The Best of Frank Zappa is a compilation not of the composer's hits -- he only broke the Top 40 on one occasion, with "Valley Girl" -- but rather, a collection of his best-known material, from "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" to "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace." Zappa's albums often function as individual works, but this disc offers an intelligent selection of songs, serving as an introduction to the maverick musician. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine". As New .
