  • Question about publishing Zappa lyrics

    From mcv pcr@mcvpcr@gmail.com to alt.fan.frank-zappa on Mon Jul 25 01:15:43 2022

    Hi there,
    I translated into Catalan up to 15 Zappa albums and there is a publishing house that would like to publish them.
    The problem is that we've already sent two messages to Ahmet Zappa asking for permission to publish and got no response...
    Could someone guide me on this issue? Do you know who we should contact to get consent to publish these lyrics?
    Obviously, my only intention is to spread Zappa's work in the Catalan cultural context!
    Thanks for any response!

    With the new development--Frank Zappa's entire catalog being sold to
    Universal Music--my guess would be that you might need to contact
    someone at UMG.
