[[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.

After a short relationship with [[Mercury Records|Mercury]], FZ erected [[Barking Pumpkin Records]] in 1981. This time, distribution was handled by [[CBS]] (1981-1983), and then [[Capitol Records|Capitol]] (1984-1987). With a fully independent record label in [[Barking Pumpkin Records]], FZ was now in full control. Concurrent with [[Barking Pumpkin Records|Barking Pumpkin]] releases and unauthorized UK [[EMI Records|EMI]] CDs, FZ signed a CD agreement with [[Rykodisc]] (and [[Zappa Records]] outside of the US and Canada) at the end of 1984 to release his material. In return, [[Rykodisc]] gave FZ full control over all aspects of each release. Outside the US and Canada, the [[Zappa Records]] CDs originating from [[Barking Pumpkin Records]] have been distributed by the [[Music For Nations]] label.

By the summer of 1993, US distribution for [[Barking Pumpkin Records|Barking Pumpkin]] releases moved over to [[Rhino Records]]. With Gail Zappa's sale of the FZ catalog to [[Rykodisc]] in early 1995, [[Rykodisc]] controlled all the existing recordings plus all the non-classical unreleased masters worldwide.
