52-year-old Frank Zappa died of prostate cancer at his Los Angeles home, surrounded by his wife and children. His family publicly announced: "Composer Frank Zappa left for his final tour just before 6:00 pm on Saturday." At a private ceremony the following day, Zappa was interred in an unmarked grave at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, Los Angeles.
For me the first albums were an instant match - Freak Out, Absolutely Free, We're Only In It for the Money. Apostrophe is another good starting point of course, and Hot Rats was also love at first sight.
I bought Uncle Meat on vinyl at some point, and I'm gradually getting into it with each listen. Still have some way to go before I'm entirely sold on it.
You might also like Waka Jawaka out of the gate. In many ways it's my favorite.
Thanks!
