The Zappa Plays Zappa DVD collection brilliantly commemorates the critically-acclaimed 2006 concerts which presented a collection of Frank Zappa’s rock-oriented compositions from the 1960s through the 1980s.  Two of the ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA shows were pristinely filmed and recorded to capture the experience and the result is a double-DVD set with a 12-track bonus audio CD, hand-selected by Dweezil himself.  The DVDs feature over three hours of performances.  A limited edition fanpack will also be available which features the two-DVD set and three CDs containing the entire audio content, totaling 270 minutes.

    * 2 DVD set includes:30 compositions
    * Audio CD includes: 12 compositions

Both above: don't worry, no matter how many you reviewed, there is still plenty Tongue (not sure of the chances to grab one "unreviewed" one though...)

m@x, thanks for this announcement. nice to see such contests, though I'm not sure I can participate (not least, win Tongue)
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

does quality countErmm
 
If Zappa has luck, the site will be flooded with reviews, that's a nice promotion.
 
but if the quality of the reviews is poor, than Zappa's pages will be messed with badly written reviews.
 
I hope people will try and achieve a high standard for the reviewsStar

do we have better chances if we review certain albums? does it matter if they're post-humorous albums like Wazoo or Imaginary Diseases?

this is great. im going to work on some reviews soon!

It is an Internet giveaway, which usually involves some form of buying.

I let myself get suckered in to one of those, one positive thing did come of that, I joined BMG Music Club (not that) ordered my first Porcupine Tree, In Absentia, which hooked me on the band.  Of course they didn't stock any more PT titles at that time, but I was more than happy to go exploring elsewhere.

I'm still to write those reviews, suddenly the prospect of the possibility to win a Zappa plays Zappa DVD seems to inhibit my inspiration.
 
still have 2 weeks to get some in.
