Med uhindret adgang til Zappa Trust og al arkivoptagelse udforsker ZAPPA det private liv bag den enorme musikalske karriere, der aldrig skød sig væk fra den tids politiske turbulens. Alex Winter's (Bill & Teds filmfranchise, The Lost Boys) forsamling har optrædener af Franks enke Gail Zappa og flere af Franks musikalske samarbejdspartnere, herunder Mike Keneally, Ian Underwood, Steve Vai, Pamela Des Barres, Bunk Gardner, David Harrington, Scott Thunes, Ruth Underwood, Ray White og andre.
Soundtracket er et perfekt supplement til filmen, der tilbydes i 2 luksusformater: 3CD og 5LP-udgaver (+ digitale ækvivalenter) til Zappa-kompletisten. Udstillingen viser 68 sange i alt. Der er 12 tidligere ikke udgivne optagelser fra Zappa-arkivet sammen med hans Saturday Night Live-optræden fra 1978; 25 yderligere Zappa-sange fra hans omfattende katalog, der spænder over fire årtier; sange fra Zappas labels Straight / Bizarre Records som "No Longer Umpire" af Alice Cooper og "The Captain's Fat Theresa Shoes" af GTO's; 2 klassiske kompositioner af Edgard Varese og Igor Stravinsky; og 26 Original Score-signaler, der er nyligt komponeret af John Frizzell til dokumentarfilmen.
En 2LP-udgave vil også blive stillet til rådighed for de mere afslappede eller nyere Zappa-fans, som filmen tegner med, der inkluderer 8 af de ikke-frigivne optagelser fra Zappa-arkivet + SNL-forestillingen og 13 optagelser fra Zappas omfattende optagekarriere.Trackliste: LP 101: Motherly Love (From Freak Out! ) - The Mothers of Invention02: Memories of El Monte (Live from the Whisky 1968) - The Mothers of Invention03: Oh!
