Sleep Dirt
''Sleep Dirt'' is an album by Frank Zappa released on January 19, 1979, on his own DiscReet Records label. It reached #175 on the ''Billboard'' 200 album chart.
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 #25.
==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 reassignment 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 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. When this material was first released on CD in 1991, Zappa chose to release the individual albums (along with the Panter artwork). Much of the material on ''Sleep Dirt'' was made available to the public again in a different form when ''Läther'' was finally officially released to the public in 1996, after Zappa's death.
