-When [[MGM Records]] neglected to exercise a contract option in 1968, FZ founded [[Bizarre Productions]] with manager [[Herb Cohen]]. This company mutated into [[Bizarre Records]] (with distribution taken care of by [[Warner Bros.]]' [[Reprise Records|Reprise]] label) by October 1968. "Sister" label [[Straight Records]] was formed by FZ in the spring of 1969 to release material by slightly off-center artists, but these artists were not nearly as extreme as those on [[Bizarre Records|Bizarre]] (hence, the name "Straight" versus "Bizarre"). After [[Straight Records|Straight]] finished its independent run with [[Reprise Records|Reprise]] and [[Warner Bros.]]-distributed stints, the [[DiscReet Records|DiscReet]] label was created in 1973.

-With [[DiscReet Records|DiscReet]], FZ had his first taste of success in the singles market, with his own "[[Don't Eat The Yellow Snow]]" (#86 peak position) and [[Kathy Dalton]]'s "Boogie Bands And One Night Stands" (a #72 chart record). [[DiscReet Records|DiscReet]] existed until FZ filed a lawsuit against [[Warner Bros.]], its distributor and parent company. FZ then sought out [[Capitol Records]] for distribution assistance, but these plans fell through. Finally, [[Mercury Records]] stepped in, so FZ then created [[Zappa Records]] in 1977. When the "[[Läther]]" album slated for release by Zappa/Mercury on October 31, 1977 was blocked by [[Warner Bros.]], FZ had to wait until 1979 before he could release his own product on the [[Zappa Records]] label.
