'Apostrophe (')' is a concise, single-LP statement from Zappa's mid-70s peak, featuring some of his most accessible, yet characteristically bizarre, compositions. It includes the rock radio staple 'Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.'
- The album was recorded in the autumn of 1973, with overdubs and mixing taking place in early 1974.
- Primarily recorded at The Record Plant in Hollywood, Zappa also utilized his own seldom-used home studio for some parts.
- Fellow Mothers of Invention Ian Underwood and Aynsley Dunbar play on the album, as does a pre-fame Tina Turner on backing vocals on "Uncle Remus," though her contribution was uncredited.
Frank Zappa was a prolific American musician, composer, and filmmaker known for his satirical social commentary and experimental music. In 1974, Zappa was at a creative peak, having recently released 'Over-Nite Sensation' and working towards 'One Size Fits All.'
