Desperate to remove himself from his original deal with Verve Records, in 1968 Frank Zappa set up the Bizarre and Straight labels in league with manger Herb Cohen, and so began a string of releases which remain extraordinary in the extreme. This film revisits and reviews the astonishing music that came out on Bizarre and Straight, and reveals the background, operations and, crucially, the lives of the musicians, performers and management who made these labels the legendary reality they became. Includes rare footage, archive interviews and of course the music that made it all worthwhile.

  • Good film. Very long.  To correct a few errors, most of the Bizarre/Straight catalogue is on iTunes, including the first two Alice Cooper albums, Henke/Yester, the Tim Buckley albums, Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, The Persuasions, etc. @thegirl44 -- No Zappa was involved in this. And no Cohen, for that matter! Too bad, I could have cleared a lot of things up. Evan Cohen (nephew of Herb Cohen).

  • Sure wish they would release the Straight and Bizarre holdings of artists other than Zappa...like Alice Cooper's first two albums.

    Is the ZFT in any way associated with this? I'd rather not give them my money but would really like to see this. Anyone able to help me make an informed choice as a consumer?

  • @bunnyhead71 Type in From Straight To Bizarre on ebay, and click buy it now, it cost me £9.99, free p&p..

  • @reldditmot - where and how did you get it already, the dvd is set for release on 2-21-12

  • @reldditmot wicked cool.

  • @margowsky It's out, got mine a couple of days ago, 2 and a half hours, well worth grabbing.

  • When is this coming out?
