Description
Frank Zappa – Tinsel Town Rebellion is a 1981 live double album on which Zappa turns his sharp satirical eye on the Los Angeles music scene and its shallow celebrity culture. With musicians such as Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, it blends rock, comedy and Zappa's trademark eclecticism. Highlights include Easy Meat, Fine Girl and Panty Rap and the title track Tinsel Town Rebellion.
On offer is the original 1981 European pressing on CBS (88516), a double LP in a gatefold sleeve.
