Sheik Yerbouti is a double album[1][2][3] by American musician Frank Zappa, released in March 1979 as the first release on Zappa Records, distributed by Phonogram Inc. in the United States and Canada. The album was released in other countries by CBS Records. It is mostly made up of live material recorded in 1977 and 1978, with extensive overdubs added in the studio. In an October 1978 interview, Zappa gave the working album title as Martian Love Secrets.[4] It was later released on a single CD.
Sheik Yerbouti is Zappa's biggest selling album with over 2 million units sold worldwide.[5]
