[[wikipedia:Kevin Murphy (screenwriter)|Kevin Murphy]] and Dan Studney wrote a musical based on the 1938 cult classic "Reefer Madness". They [http://www.reefermadness.org/critics/theatremania.html claim] they were inspired to do so while listening to Zappa's Joe's Garage album during a car trip: ""Joe’s Garage" was like Zappa’s attempt at a musical", said Studney, "and I was thinking I’d love to stage it. Then there was some line about reefer or anti-authority or whatever, and I said to Kevin, ‘How come nobody’s ever done "Reefer Madness" as a musical?’"

 +
The German comic strip artist Wittek drew [http://wittek0815comix.blogspot.com/2010/12/frank-zappa-joes-garage.html a comic strip] album based on Zappa's Joe's Garage album. Each track was illustrated in collage art, similar to the art work inside "Joe's Garage" itself.

Release Notes

This edition regroups Joe's Garage Act I and Joe's Garage Acts II & III. However the tracks distribution was reconsidered across the discs, so CD 1 tracks are not these from Act I...

1995 CDs are remastered and tracks 1.5 & 1.6 are retitled "Fembot In A Wet T-Shirt" & On The Bus. Track 9 is an additional track Scrutinizer Postlude, making a total of 19 tracks. (Previous CDs having only 18 tracks). The 1987 UK 2xCD issue (CDFZ1 / CDS 7-90087-2), has three incorrect titles; "A Token Of His Extreme", "Doing Work For Yuda" & "Keep It Greasy".

Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney wrote a musical based on the 1938 cult classic "Reefer Madness". They claim they were inspired to do so while listening to Zappa's Joe's Garage album during a car trip: ""Joe’s Garage" was like Zappa’s attempt at a musical", said Studney, "and I was thinking I’d love to stage it. Then there was some line about reefer or anti-authority or whatever, and I said to Kevin, ‘How come nobody’s ever done "Reefer Madness" as a musical?’"

The German comic strip artist Wittek drew a comic strip album based on Zappa's Joe's Garage album. Each track was illustrated in collage art, similar to the art work inside "Joe's Garage" itself.
