AllMusic[2]

Strictly Genteel is a compilation album by Frank Zappa.[3] It focuses on Zappa's "classical" and "serious" compositions, and as such is something of a companion to the previous Rykodisc-produced compilation, Strictly Commercial, which focused on "rock" songs with vocals. It was released in 1997.[4]
