Who Did What Blurb

This whole monstruousity was originally conveived February through March 2001 by the members of The Big Note - a Frank Zappa YahooGroup. After an arduous gestation period, this site was birthed on April 11 2001. True to the essence of collaborative effort, these people are held responsible.

TBN's HitParade

Throughout the summer of 2001, TBNs members voted on tracks that were to highlight Frank Zappa's various excursions into different genres. These genres spanned from FZ's blues tracks, to the doo-wop realm, to the classical endeavours, to favorite covers performed at live venues, to overall favorites. It also gave birth to a CD consisting of TBN-members whipping out their own musical output. Out of this came a set of compilations that were burnt to CD and sent off to TBNs members with NO commercial intention whatsoever.
To follow is the cover-art for all of these discs, as conjured up, photoshopped and delivered by our very own, highly esteemed Sharleena. Further credit is given to all those TBNites that bothered to vote, and last but not least, to SOFA, who compiled, burnt, and sent off the CD's. (Click to enlarge, by the way)
