Cheap Thrills is designed for the curious listener that has always wanted to explore Zappa but was intimidated by his overwhelming catalog. Of course, so is Strictly Commercial, which contains all of Zappa's most familiar songs, but Cheap Thrills has the advantage of being cheap (retailing at under five dollars), plus giving an idea of the weird diversity of Zappa's catalog, since it's filled with cult favorites, live tracks, smutty jokes and assorted album tracks. It's not necessarily the most accessible introduction to Zappa — again, that would be Strictly Commercial — but it's more accessible than the average album while giving a sense of what the albums feel like. And you can't ask for much more than that from a budget-priced introduction.

CHEAP THRILLS. The FZ compilation for the professional or the novice.Obviously the professional has all the albums of this NationalTreasure... but, the novice, the one looking at the fifty–plus titlesand then shrug and ask, “Where´s the new Van Halen?” or “Where´s thenew Korn?” or “Where's the new Butter 08?” or... You get the picture, they only care about INSTANT GRATIFICATION, notEDIFICATION. How much bang for the buck you ask? Well, there´s thrills, spills, humor,monster riffs, rock ´n´ blues ´n´ jazz, lots of guitars and SEX! Itincludes concert recordings of Zappa favorites “Catholic Girls,” “BobbyBrown Goes Down,” and "Joe´s Garage,” as well as Captain Beefheart on“The Torture Never Stops (Original Version).” Enhanced Portion featuresinformation on the complete FZ catalog to pull even the most wary ofconsumers into the Zappa Universe. And artwork by Cal Schenkel includesenough secret clues to have the tongues wagging until the Zomby Woofshoos those cows home. They told us we were crazy. They said “You can't do that in storesanymore.” You'll be very glad we didn't listen.
