Hot Rats, the second solo album by Frank Zappa, is considered by his fans and critics alike to be a groundbreaking, important record, as well as one of his most innovative efforts of all time.

Description
A movie for your ears is how rock icon Frank Zappa first described his album Hot Rats, which remains, 50 years after its release, not only one of Zappa's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, but a stunning tour-de-force of the totality of his musical genius and legendary skills as a composer, lyricist, producer, arranger, studio innovator, and virtuoso guitar player.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this much-loved LP, Ahmet Zappa and the Zappa Trust have teamed with Backbeat Books and Bill Gubbins, the only photographer to document the Hot Rats sessions, to create The Hot Rats Book. This deluxe, commemorative book is packed with never-before-seen photos and features an interview between Ahmet Zappa and Bill Gubbins documenting the Hot Rats sessions and the last U.S. show of the original Mothers of Invention on August 10, 1969, at Cleveland's Musicarnival in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.
The Hot Rats Book is an official Frank Zappa book, produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of the Zappa Trust.
