Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti 1979 / 2012 Remaster

One of his most popular and infamous albums, Sheik Yerbouti finds Frank Zappa unleashing his unique brand of sociological documentation on the disco-injected culture of the late '70s.
From crises of sexual identity to the rhythmically challenged, the songs are hilarious and occasionally close to home. The satire is some of Zappa's most scathing and unsympathetic, and the music is equally loud and unrelenting.
It is Frank Zappa at his bawdy best. Sheik‘s dumbed-down hooks are still some of Zappa’s most addictive.
