Sequenced as a four-course meal, it turns Zappa's sense of mischief into a useful listening guide, moving from the Mothers of Invention's 1966 \u003cem\u003eFreak Out!\u003c\/em\u003e era through jazz-rock instrumentals, satire, live performance, and orchestral writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this compilation work is how clearly it shows the range inside Zappa's so-called rock side. \"I'm The Slime\" and \"Dirty Love\" open with the heavy funk and innuendo of \u003cem\u003eOver-Nite Sensation\u003c\/em\u003e, while \"Peaches En Regalia\" reminds you how elegant his instrumental writing could be. Elsewhere, the set pulls in the GRAMMY-nominated disco parody \"Dancin' Fool,\" the European hit \"Bobby Brown Goes Down,\" and \"Valley Girl,\" the 1982 Top 40 single featuring Moon Unit Zappa's deadpan valley-speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompiled by Ahmet Zappa with longtime archivist Joe Travers, \u003cem\u003eZAPPAtite\u003c\/em\u003e is less a greatest-hits package than a guided cross-section of recurring Zappa obsessions: satire, virtuosity, odd rhythm, and sudden shifts in scale. The closing stretch says plenty on its own, from the Synclavier rush of \"G-Spot Tornado\" to \"Strictly Genteel\" with the London Symphony Orchestra, a piece first heard as the grand finale of Zappa's 1971 film \u003cem\u003e200 Motels\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP, Black Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst time on vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold jacket with menu insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classical\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP 1 Side A                       \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eAPPETIZERS                       \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
