FZ, Zappa, Frank Zappa and the "moustache" are marks belonging to the Zappa Family Trust. 1996 The Zappa Family Trust. Läther was originally conceived by Zappa as a 4-record box set that was rejected by his record company in early 1977. The project was released only in 1996

Most commonly misunderstood by the Internet, "Läther" is not a compilation album.

Lather" was officially released by the Zappa Family Trust years after Frank had passed away. It's a strong, cohesive statement. None of these records are as good as the original album. Warner Brothers just put them out without Frank's permission or involvement.

Läther was originally conceived by Zappa as a 4-record box set that was rejected by his record company in early 1977. Most of the compositions were re-edited (sometimes with other arrangements) over the next two years into several albums (principally Live In New York, Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, & Orchestral Favorites). The project was released only in 1996.

Tracks 5 to 8 on CD3 are bonus tracks to the original Läther box set.
