ZappaFrenzy are all about the 45s
We love those 45s and ZappaFrenzy’s mission is to document all singles and EP releases by Frank Zappa. Everything from the early Pal Studio years to The Mothers Of Invention and bands/artists that Frank Zappa collaborated with.
We try to dig as deep as possible and list runout information, pressing plants, figuring out the correct factory sleeves and other details of great importance.
ZappaFrenzy focuses on the physical media, the production and the history of these fine items. If you want to know more about the unique single mixes, recording sessions, musical production, etc., I recommend you head over to Crossfire Publications and get a copy of Ancient Armaments by Greg Russo, which goes into this in great detail.
All the singles you see on ZappaFrenzy are either provided by myself or by one of the many contributors. No pictures are “stolen” from the internet.
ZappaFrenzy provides information about official releases. You won’t find bootlegs or counterfeits here, only the “real ponchos”.
ZappaFrenzy does not support CD singles, cassingles, acetates, related labels, related artists, etc. at the moment. I have archived the old site for those of you who are interested in the things mentioned above. Please visit it here.
Who is ZappaFrenzy?
ZappaFrenzy was created by Bjørn Olav Herheim in 2010, but the beauty of this site is that a handful of collectors from all over the world shared information that has now been documented here on ZappaFrenzy. This collaboration led to the discovery of a lot of items never before listed anywhere else.
