This album was preceeded by the Thing-Fish project coming to visual fruition via a 'Hustler' magazine pictorial spread, April 1984, financed by Larry Flynt. It featured 'Ample Annie', who had an act 'Slutty Suzy' & 'Sluts Are Us' and was selected for the promotional feature by Zappa. An 'On Broadway' Musical poster also appeared.

Thing-Fish è un concept album del musicista e compositore statunitense Frank Zappa, pubblicato nel 1984 su triplo LP in vinile. Alla sua uscita venne pubblicizzato come la colonna sonora di un progettato musical dallo stesso nome, ma Zappa non arrivò mai a produrlo in vita, anche se venne in seguito messo in scena nel 2003, dieci anni dopo la sua morte.
Broadway the hard way, indeed. Frank Zappa's mock musical is also one of his most scathing satires, and sure to offend the sensibilities of many who hear it. Those who get past its prickly skin will be pleased to discover an ambitious, hilarious, and catchy look at life and love in the 1980's--with an outlook not so good.
In 1983 Zappa was again debating with his record company, now CBS, about sales figures and their unwillingness to distribute "Thing-Fish". He switched CBS for EMI and "Thing-Fish" got released at the fall of 1984. It's a theatre piece in the form of an opera, with the libretto added to the CD, but musically more remindful of a Broadway musical.
