THE OTHERS OF INVENTION

I’ve compiled a book. Well, three books to be more precise.

“The Others Of Invention” lists bands and artists that have recorded and released compositions that were written by Frank Zappa. It also includes recordings that Frank Zappa contributed to, a handful of tributes, and even a couple of albums that include references to Frank Zappa.
The final thing is being published in three volumes.

Here's a picture of the print proof for Volume 2.


Volume 1 lists FZ’s albums (as a reference) and takes a closer look at the albums on which artists and bands recorded one or more pieces by Frank Zappa, from 1966 to 1999.
Volume 2 mentions the albums from 2000 to 2012.
Volume 3 lists the albums from 2013 to 2020, the Zappanale productions, a song index and an artist index (for the three volumes together).

It’s hard for me to imagine, but for those of you who would like a copy, all three volumes will become available as print-on-demand books.
The paperback version, in black and white, will be available from various Amazon locations.
An inessential, over-the-top, too luxurious hardcover version (in colour) will be available from a Dutch on-line shop.
And in case you were wondering, the amazing artwork was done by Maximiliano Lopez Barrios.

More info soon.
