Американският композитор, китарист и продуцент Франк Запа е един от най-иновативните рок музиканти на своето поколение. Творчеството му се характеризира със свободна импровизация, звукови експерименти, музикална виртуозност и сатиричен поглед върху американската култура. В своята тридесетгодишна кариера се е посветил на рок, поп, джаз, джаз фюжън, оркестрови композиции и конкретна музика.
Компилацията Zappa Original Motion излезе в лимитирано делукс издание на пет винилови плочи. Подборът обхваща широк спектър от творчеството на Запа — от ранните записи с The Mothers of Invention, през джаз експерименти, до по-късните оркестрови произведения с Ensemble Modern. В списъка с песни се появяват Apostrophe', Valley Girl (дует с дъщеря му Moon Zappa) или G-spot Tornado, както и по-малко известни композиции като The Black Page #1 или Fembot in a Wet T-shirt. Включени са и откъси от оркестрови записи, например с диригента Пиер Булез начело на Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
