Following the immense success of Zappa The Hard Way, penned by Zappa enthusiast Andrew Greenaway, FZ88 proudly takes its place. This title, originally published in 2010, vividly captured Zappa's final tour in remarkable detail. While it offered an insightful and comprehensive narrative, it unfortunately lacked a substantial collection of captivating photographs to complement the story. However, this new publication now fills in the gaps, offering a comprehensive visual experience.

The foundation of this book is built upon the remarkable photographs of Sergio 'Milo' Albonico, Zappa's official photographer. Albonico's images graced the 1988 tour program and the album release Guitar, making him a familiar figure among Zappa enthusiasts. This book showcases an extensive selection of Albonico's photographs, beautifully presented throughout its pages.

To enhance the reader's journey, Greenaway provides additional text that contextualizes the photos, offering insights into their significance. Additionally, Albonico contributes his own words, sharing personal anecdotes and perspectives. The book is further enriched by the inclusion of previously unpublished photos and memorabilia from the era, providing a deeper understanding of Zappa's final tour.

This collection serves as a visual documentary of Zappa's last tour, seamlessly complementing Zappa The Hard Way. However, it stands on its own as a remarkable compilation of never-before-seen photographs capturing Zappa's rehearsals and concerts during that historic period. Whether you are a devoted fan of Frank Zappa or a photography enthusiast, FZ88 is a must-have treasure that will captivate and inspire you.
