ZAPPAtite-Frank Zappa’s Tastiest Tracks collects a healthy portion of Zappa’s best known and beloved compositions, from his early psychedelic rock beginnings to his avant-garde experimentation, jazz-rock explorations, symphonic suites and satirical send-ups, compiling them into one easily digestible collection and offering key entryways into the many musical worlds of the visionary musician.

The album is divided into three courses – Appetizers, Entrees and Desserts – and the food-centric theme oozes throughout the album art, which features Zappa in a diner on the cover, a track list that resembles a menu and some of Zappa’s favorite eats. The 18 compositions that make up ZAPPAtite were compiled by Zappa’s son Ahmet Zappa and encyclopedic Zappa archivist, “Vaultmeister” Joe Travers. “This isn’t a greatest hits album as Frank didn’t really have ‘hits,’ per se, nor is it a ‘best of’ since that would be an impossibility to fit so much awesome onto one disc,” says Ahmet Zappa. “It’s a veritable smorgasbord of musicality for the curious and a buffet of favorites for the fans, ZAPPAtite collects a cross section of my favorite songs composed by my dad, that lean more towards the rock side of his expansive repertoire. I hope you're hungry because this meal for your ears rocks!"

Kicking off with the one-two punch of “I’m The Slime” and “Dirty Love” from Zappa’s 1973 watershed Gold album, Over-Nite Sensation, the collection quickly introduces Zappa’s eclecticism and salacious tongue as the songs meld polyrhythmic psychedelic rock and heavy funk with his trademark innuendo-filled lyrics. From there, the album travels through Zappa’s sprawling musical universe, highlighting vital songs and important eras of his career. The Appetizers portion also includes the GRAMMY® -nominated disco satire "Dancin' Fool” and the controversial European smash “Bobby Brown Goes Down” from Zappa’s popular 1979 album, Sheik Yerbouti; and “Trouble Every Day” from Zappa’s embryonic rock band the Mothers of Invention’s groundbreaking 1966 debutFreak Out!. Entrees includes one of Zappa’s best known works, the universally loved instrumental “Peaches En Regalia from his classic 1969 solo sophomore record, Hot Rats; ubiquitous Top 40 hit “Valley Girl,” featuring his then 14-year-old daughter Moon Unit affecting a valley girl “gag-me-with-a-spoon” patois, from 1982’s Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch; to the possible autobiographical track from a parallel dimension “Joe’s Garage” of 1979’s LP of the same name; and the waggish blues rocker “Cosmik Debris” and the humorous “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow,” two standouts from one of Zappa’s most commercial and accessible albums, 1974’s Apostrophe (').

Desserts explores Zappa’s musical virtuosity and singular live performances and includes the comedic Titties & Beer” from the 1978 live album, Zappa In New York; the frenetic Synclavier-fueled “G-Spot Tornado” from 1986’s Jazz From Hell; the anti-drug screed, “Cocaine Decisions” from 1983’s The Man From Utopia; and “Zoot Allures,” the heady instrumental featuring some of Zappa’s electrifying guitar playing, from 1976’s Zoot Allures. The album culminates with a performance of “Strictly Genteel” with the London Symphony Orchestra. The epic, orchestral-rock piece originally served as the grand finale to Zappa’s surrealist 1971 film, “200 Motels.

First time on vinyl! 2LP black vinyl edition with gatefold jacket and “menu” insert.

Tasty good quality matcha
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
Great tasting matcha! I usually order matcha from the famous us coffee shop but this one tastes even better and is wayy cheaper (vs paying per cup). I can make frozen matcha drinks or have it with a sweetener, ice and milk (chef's kiss). I also feel good knowing that it has great health benefits and I like the fact that it doesn't come sweetened so I can add berries or a sweetener. It's not too bitter like some other matchas are and it gives that earthy taste you look for in matcha. Very delicious 10/10.

Yum!
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
I have zero complaints, the size is ideal considering you don’t need very much for a drink and the flavor is amazing and exactly what I expected, I prefer this to Starbucks as I feel it is a bit sweeter! Blends beautifully great quality and honestly on the cheaper size of what I’ve seen! Good value

Can of marketing containing disappointment
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
When I received this I noticed the made in China label and tried to initiate a return. This product does not allow return, even if unopened. So I went ahead and opened this can of disappointment. Pale, flavorless with a weird flavor. I suppose I could try using it as a fabric dye...
