I’m a bona fide Zappa phreak. I kinda view Frank as a totally separate entertainment package. I own probably 97% of every noise the man ever put to tape. Over Nite Sensation was probably my first introduction to Frank’s music. Back in those days I thought the songs were funny. I knew something was up but it wasn’t until years later that I realized that I was dealing with a musical genius. It’s a great time to be a Zappa fan these days. I just gobble up all this stuff like a greedy sponge. I’m loving every minute of it! It blows me away how much stuff is coming out. And the quality of material is just amazing! The care that was taken to make it all sound so good deserves a nod as well. Thank you to Joe and Ahmet. And let’s not forget all those great tours Dweezil did to keep it all alive. Thank you, thank you! Needless to say I am anxiously waiting on my pre-order. The present day composer refuses to die…..Indeed. 🤘😳🤘 🇵🇸✌️🇮🇱 🇺🇦✌️🇷🇺

My introduction to Zappa, quickly followed by him being my first concert ever, on New Year's Eve, 12-31-75, at the Los Angeles Forum, in Inglewood. Ca. Dr. Demento used to play 'Dirty Love', once in a while. on his show. That was the first Zappa song for me. Saw him seven other times live. Always a treat!

Cheers for showing it to us Barry. I pre-ordered it a couple of months back and I was thinking of cancelling it because it is well overpriced for what it is. To be honest, having purchased the Wakka/Wazzo box set for under £50 and the fact that you got two albums on the blu ray I was thinking they would pair this release up with Apostrophe ('). However, no such luck and yet they are asking a lot more for it and the fact that it's in a Clamshell box makes the price tag even more ridiculous. Personally, I think the Zappa estate is taking the piss and if you are going to charge that sort of money the very least they could have done is give it a better presentation, not a cheap one as they have done. The one thing I did notice with this unboxing is that it also included the Quad mix and that has cheered me up a bit. However, I still feel I am being well ripped off with this release.

Thank you sir, this is the first time I’ve heard it was released and will check it out. Great job on unboxing and showing us what we get. Probably the most accessible Zappa album besides apostrophe. hard to believe 50 years has gone by my very first copy was in eight-track, and don’t you know that the track broke right in the middle of dirty love, my favorite song!

Thanks for the great review !! Will have a look for this. Still the only Zappa album I can listen to as a whole. Other albums have highlights and a few songs in a row. It’s remarkable to me that I heard this 40 years ago and loved it then. 40 years later and I’ve tried to listen to other Zappa albums and they only offer a smattering of cuts I enjoy. Help me find another like it please !!!!

well as I wrote, I love Overnite Sensation in its entirety,, whereas I like other Zappa cuts or even groups of songs but, so far, no other album as a whole. I do enjoy parts of Apostrophe. I have listened to it every so often over the past 30 years. Haven't heard the live album. I will give it a whirl thanks. @@Turbulator

The 5.1 is very good, although, to my mind the main vocals seem a little high in the mix on some tracks, but the effect of sitting in the middle of the studio is fascinating.

@backrowbrighton 9 ай бұрын

Fine review Barry. As much as I like this album, I won't be investing in this set as it seems expensive for what you are getting. The overall presentation could have been better at the price. A 2 CD set at a much lower price would have made it more accessible I feel. The recent extended re-issues of two Little Feat albums show how it could be done.

This one, apostrophe, and hot rats. Then, live at the Filmore is an excellent example of his live shows. Also, his first album Freak Out is probably my favourite, and then Joe’s Garage. These are his most listenable (close to normal) albums.

I suppose there is a possibility that Mr. Zappa would have released some or all of this material had he lived. But the sad fact is he died. Therefore, I'm most likely going to pass on this, and stick with the original Overnight Sensation I've had for 50 years. Even if it were reasonably priced, I'd still let it slide. Thanks anyway.

Why does it take the Zappa Estate eons of time to release material I mean we had to wait until Gail died before the finally released the Roxy DVD just because Uncle Frank got a little bit lewd with a stripper at the end of one of the performances and they left out Montana one of the highlights of the concerts. Where is the Central Scrutinizer when you need him?

Nearly £90 for 5 discs in a small clamshell box? Been a Zappa fan for a long time. I've got most of the Zappa box sets, and original vinyl but these recent box sets are rather (very) overpriced! Great music but feels like the family trust is ringing every cent they can for themselves from Frank's work.

As mentioned, I only watched for a minute and a half. I would hope that you went on to question the inclusion of so much 'non-Overnite' material in this set, which looks to me like a justification for the enormous price tag - 89 quid is rather alot. I gather this set features a 2012 remaster of the original, that is the vinyl I'm now looking for - thanks for indirectly letting me know of it's existence
