A landmark in experimental rock, Uncle Meat is Frank Zappa’s sprawling 1969 opus—blending jazz, doo-wop, musique concrète, and absurdist theatre into a sonic collage unlike anything before or since. This 2012 expanded edition includes 31 remastered tracks across two discs, plus rare live excerpts and film audio.
