«Crecí en los 70 y él era un icono de la música y la cultura, pero también de la política, la comedia y la revolución sexual. Él encarnaba tantas cosas. … Me pareció que nunca había habido una historia profunda que te mostrara quién era él. Parecía una idea fantástica para un documental porque era una persona tan paradójica y contradictoria, y ese tipo de temas son ideales para los grandes documentales», reveló el director Alex Winter en una reciente entrevista para Variety sobre este documental.
Estas versiones físicas de colección llegarán el 7 de mayo de 2021, y podrás adquirirlas a través del sitio oficial de Frank Zappa. Mientras esperamos su llegada, puedes escuchar la versión digital de Zappa Original Motion Picture Soundtrack aquí.
