| Opplysninger | "The impulse for artists and musicians to form their own record label are many. But often these endeavours are little more than vanity projects for which enthusiasm wanes when the first rush of releases fail to take off - leaving charity stores and flea markets awash with the unsold booty of such initially ambitious enterprises. But on occasion, proceedings in a sideline of this nature can prove not just sustainable but facinating, profitable and wholly worthwhile; a task made a little easier when the boss is a bit smarter than the average guitar hero! So it was with Frank Zappa. Desperate to remove himself from his original deal with Verve records, in 1968 he sut up the Bizarre and Straight labels in league with manager Herb Cohen, and so began a string of releases which remain extraordinary in the extreme. (...) The film revisits and reviews the astonishing music that came out on Bizarre and Straight, and reveals the background, operations and crucially the lives of the musicians, performers and management who made these labels the legendary reality they became."
