Frank Zappa - Duke of Orchestral Prunes
Frank Zappa Duke of Orchestral Prunes
Läther (Booklet Version) Frank Zappa Catalog 2012

In the late 1970s Zappa was pressurized by Warners to fulfill his contract in providing albums. Much acrimony followed, with him providing 4 works that he had envisaged as a set. A severance with the label followed, resulting in the albums being released individually and with art also commissioned by them. The first was "Zappa In New York" issued in 1977 but then withdrawn, censored & reissued in 1978. The following three were "Studio Tan", "Sleep Dirt", & "Orchestral Favorites".
