Orchestral Favorites
''Orchestral Favorites'' is an album by Frank Zappa first released in May 1979 on his own DiscReet Records label. The album is instrumental and features music performed by the 37-piece Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra.
The album's creation was spurred by Warner Bros' rejection of Zappa's ''Läther'' album. After demanding more albums than Zappa was contractually obliged to provide and reediting the live album ''Zappa in New York'', a lawsuit ensued, during which ''Studio Tan'', ''Sleep Dirt'' and ''Orchestral Favorites'' were issued without Zappa's permission. This is Official Release #27.
==Background==
In early 1976 Zappa's relationship with manager and business partner Herb Cohen ended in litigation. Zappa and Cohen's company DiscReet Records was distributed by Warner Bros. Records. When Zappa asked for a re-assignment of his contract from DiscReet to Warner in order to advance the possibility of doing special projects without Cohen's involvement, Warner briefly agreed. This led to the 1976 release of ''Zoot Allures'' on Warner. Early in 1977, Zappa delivered the master tapes for a quadruple-LP set, entitled ''Läther'', which he intended as his "swan song" for Warner Bros. However, Warner changed its position following legal action from Cohen, and refused to release the album, claiming that Zappa was contractually bound to deliver four more albums to Warner for the DiscReet label.
During 1977 Zappa created the individual albums ''Zappa In New York'', ''Studio Tan'', ''Sleep Dirt'' and ''Orchestral Favorites'' by re-editing recordings from the same batch of tapes that made up the 4-LP configuration.〔Gail Zappa's liner notes for ''Läther''〕 After Warner Bros. released ''Zappa In New York'', they told him that he still owed them four more albums. He then attempted to get a distribution deal with Phonogram to release ''Läther'' on the new Zappa Records label. This led Warner to threaten legal action, preventing the release of ''Läther'' and forcing Zappa to shelve the project. In 1978 and 1979 Warner finally decided to release the three remaining individual albums they still held, ''Studio Tan'', ''Sleep Dirt'' and ''Orchestral Favorites''. As Zappa had delivered the tapes only, these three individual albums were released with no musical credits.〔(FZ vs. Warner Brs. Story or Lather/Laether/Leather ), ''Zappa in New York'', Arf.ru〕 Warner also commissioned sleeve art by Gary Panter, which was not approved by Zappa. The material was first released on CD in 1991, along with Panter's artwork. Panter would later provide additional art for the album when it was reissued in 1995. Much of the material on ''Studio Tan'' was made available to the public again in a different form when the alternate version of ''Läther'' was posthumously released in 1996.
