- DiscReet Records, self-identified simply as DiscReet, was a record label founded by Frank Zappa and his then business partner/manager Herb Cohen. The name of the label was a pun derived from disc and the Compatible Discrete 4 process of encoding quadraphonic sound signals into phonograph records. The label was launched in January 1973 when DiscReet arranged a distribution contract with the Warner Bros. Records group of labels. The previous Zappa/Cohen labels, Bizarre Records and Straight Records, were discontinued at the same time that DiscReet was created. DiscReet issued many albums by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention between 1973 and 1979. Another notable act on the label was Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, who recorded their final two albums for DiscReet. Following this Ted Nugent began his solo career. Cohen also brought to the label recordings by other artists such as Tim Buckley. Zappa's original intention was to release all albums on the label in conventional 2-channel stereo and 4-channel quadraphonic sound simultaneously. DiscReet issued two albums specially remixed for quadraphonic during 1973. These were Over-Nite Sensation credited to Frank Zappa and the Mothers and Apostrophe (') credited to Zappa alone. But the quadraphonic policy had to be dropped after just two releases. Also advertised were quadraphonic versions of two other Zappa titles. These were the double live album from 1974, Roxy & Elsewhere, and the 1975 (mostly) studio album One Size Fits All. The four-channel master tapes for these albums may still exist in the Zappa archives, but the quadraphonic versions have never been issued. In May 1976 Zappa's relationship with Cohen ended and the partners filed lawsuits against each other. Among their arguments was the fact that Cohen had signed record deals with Kathy Dalton and Growl, two acts with which Zappa did not approve. At the same time, Zappa also had disagreements with Warner Bros. Records; the DiscReet label became inactive in 1979 following the decision by Warner Bros. to release three albums for which Zappa claimed Warner Bros. did not have proper authorization, Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, and Orchestral Favorites. The three disputed titles had no songwriting or production credits and used artwork by Gary Panter, which was not approved by Zappa. Warner Bros. reissued Zappa's DiscReet recordings on the Reprise Records subsidiary in the late 1970s; they were deleted in 1982. Zappa created Zappa Records in 1979 and Barking Pumpkin Records in 1981; these labels had no involvement with Cohen and were separate business entities from DiscReet. In 1988 and 1989, DiscReet recordings by Tim Buckley and Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes were briefly re-issued on CD and cassette by the Enigma Retro label. From the late 1980s until 2012, Zappa's DiscReet catalog had been available on CD from Rykodisc. In 2012, the Zappa Family Trust regained the rights to Zappa's DiscReet catalog and signed a new distribution agreement with Universal Music Enterprises to reissue the recordings on the Zappa Records label.

- La DiscReet Records è un'etichetta discografica statunitense fondata dal musicista Frank Zappa e dal suo manager nel 1973. Prese il posto di Bizarre Records e Straight Records, a loro volta di proprietà di Zappa e Cohen, etichette i cui contratti di distribuzione discografica con la Warner Bros. Records erano scaduti quello stesso anno. Anche il contratto di distribuzione della DiscReet fu firmato con la Warner. Il nome deriva dalla parola "disco" e dal segnale discreto utilizzato per incidere dischi in vinile in quadrifonia, noto anche come "Compatible Discrete 4", "CD-4" o "Quadradisc". La DiscReet pubblicò molti album di Frank Zappa e delle sue Mothers of Invention tra il 1973 e il 1979. L'intenzione iniziale di Zappa era quella di pubblicare gli album contemporaneamente col tradizionale sistema stereofonico e con quello quadrifonico. Riuscì nell'intento con gli album Over-Nite Sensation e Apostrophe ('), ma l'idea fu abbandonata dopo le registrazioni di Roxy & Elsewhere e One Size Fits All, le cui versioni quadrifoniche non furono mai pubblicate. Altri importanti album che uscirono per la DiscReet furono gli ultimi due che Ted Nugent registrò con The Amboy Dukes, prima di iniziare la carriera solista, ed alcuni di Tim Buckley. Nel 1976, Zappa e Cohen posero fine al loro sodalizio per dissidi finanziari. Nello stesso periodo iniziarono i dissapori anche tra Zappa e la Warner, che portarono alla chiusura della DiscReet nel 1979 dopo che la Warner aveva pubblicato gli album di Zappa Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, e Orchestral Favorites senza la sua autorizzazione. In particolare, il musicista contestò che questi tre album erano stati pubblicati senza gli accrediti in copertina degli autori e del personale di produzione; non aveva inoltre approvato i disegni di copertina del grafico Gary Panter. Zappa fondò poi nel 1979 la e nel 1981 la Barking Pumpkin Records, le quali non avevano a che fare con Herb Cohen e con la stessa DiscReet. I dischi di Zappa per la DiscRreet furono poi ripubblicati per un breve periodo dalla Reprise Records, mentre sono pubblicati su CD dalla Rykodisc a partire da fine anni ottanta. (it)
