Discreet

About

Discreet Records was an American record label established in the 1970s, based in the United States and primarily associated with releasing progressive rock and experimental music. The label is best known for its extensive catalog of Frank Zappa releases, serving as a key outlet for his prolific output during the mid-to-late 1970s. Notable releases include studio albums such as "One Size Fits All" (1975), "Bongo Fury" (1975), "Sleep Dirt" (1979), and "Studio Tan" (1978), as well as the live recording "Zappa In New York" (1978). These releases showcase Zappa's distinctive compositional style, blending rock, jazz, and avant-garde elements. The label primarily released material on vinyl LP format, which was standard for the era. While Discreet's catalog was relatively focused, it played a significant role in documenting one of rock music's most innovative and prolific artists during a creatively vital period, making it an important imprint within progressive and experimental music history.
