Doing a little editing on the OSD page made me wonder: what if we were to establish a separate category for releases done by the ZFT -- that is to say, releases that were not conceived/supervised by FZ; having GZ, DZ and Joe Travers at the helm instead? I can imagine a kid's first FZ purchase being, I dunno [[Joe's Domage]]. That's not the best way to start exploring FZ's music to say the least. Some, not all, of the ZFT-releases have been considered sub-par by a large part of the fanbase, and so that's why I think a distinction between "stuff Zappa released while he was alive" vs "stuff the ZFT has released" could be of value to the wiki. What say ye?

A new section/category for ZFT-releases (post-FZs-death)?

Doing a little editing on the OSD page made me wonder: what if we were to establish a separate category for releases done by the ZFT -- that is to say, releases that were not conceived/supervised by FZ; having GZ, DZ and Joe Travers at the helm instead? I can imagine a kid's first FZ purchase being, I dunno Joe's Domage. That's not the best way to start exploring FZ's music to say the least.
