| | Rykodisc |
 | | Salem-based Rykodisc releases some critically praised acoustic or world-music album. | | | Rykodisc was founded as the world's first CD-only label (though it wound up doing cassettes and a small amount of vinyl) -- but in the end, that may have been the least of its accomplishments. | | | And during the mid '80s, Rykodisc guessed right that neo-Deadhead rock was the next big thing but wrong on the band: at a time when Phish were gunning for a record deal, the label instead went with New Potato Caboose. |

| | (Zappa's band, in fact, became a training ground for high-quality rock musicians, much as Miles Davis' was for jazz players.) In the '80s, Zappa gained the rights to his old albums and began to reissue them, at first on his own and then through the pioneering Rykodisc CD label. | | | Zappa became interested in music early and pursued his studies in school, up through a six-month stint at Chaffey College in Alta Loma, CA. | | | Finally, Zappa was perhaps the most prolific record-maker of his time, turning out massive amounts of music on his own Barking Pumpkin label and through distribution deals with Rykodisc and Rhino after long, unhappy associations with industry giants like Warner Brothers and the now-defunct MGM. |
