Sheik Yerbouti is a double vinyl live album by Frank Zappa featuring material recorded in 1977 and 1978, released on March 3, 1979 (see 1979 in music) and re-issued on May 9, 1995 (see 1995 in music).
The title is play on words; Zappa appears on the cover in the headgear of an Arab sheik, and the character's title and name (an Arabic-looking nonsense word) is properly pronounced the same as the title of the 1976 disco hit "Shake Your Booty".

 Sheik Yerbouti
The same recording of the song "Baby Snakes" appears on both Sheik Yerbouti and Baby Snakes, but the Sheik Yerbouti version is a longer edit, with an intro that is not on Baby Snakes.
Having lived with the Sheik Yerbouti EMI for a while now, I have to disagree with some of the raves.
Most tracks are a second or two longer or shorter, due to minute differences in fades and time codes.) "Sheik Yerbouti Tango" may be longer on the new version, however, and there's some additional mucking about in some of the other tracks.

Sheik Yerbouti is one of a handful of Zappa albums that manages to capture American civilization as it is (or as it will be).
Sheik Yerbouti's target is America in the mid-to-late 1970's.
One more point on the experimental nature of some of the songs on Sheik Yerbouti: One "song", Rubber Shirt, is actually a melding of two completely separate tracks, one bass and one drums, playing in different time signatures.

 Flakes
Sheik Yerbouti as Flakes, performed in London, January 25, 1978 (with overdubs)
The first part of the song is essentially the same as the version on "Sheik Yerbouti", up through the Bob Dylan section.
While the backing tracks for that album were recorded on the Spring '78 tour, that tour's version of this song was not identical to the album version, as it lacked the overdubbed vocals that make up the entire post-Dylan part of the song.

 Frank Zappa : Sheik Yerbouti - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In order to finance his artier excursions, which increasingly required more expensive technology, Frank Zappa recorded several collections of guitar- and song-oriented material in the late '70s and early '80s, which generally concentrated on the bawdy lyrical themes many fans had come to expect and enjoy in concert.
Sheik Yerbouti (two LPs, one CD) was one of the first and most successful of these albums, garnering attention for such tracks as the Grammy-nominated disco satire "Dancin' Fool," the controversial "Jewish Princess," and the equally controversial "Bobby Brown Goes Down," a song about gay S&M that became a substantial hit in European clubs.
Even if it sometimes drifts a bit, fans of Zappa's '70s work will find Sheik Yerbouti on nearly an equal level with Apostrophe and Over-Nite Sensation, both in terms of humor and musical quality.

 RollingStone.com: Sheik Yerbouti : Frank Zappa : Review
As the first release on Zappa's own label, the four-sided Shcik Yerbouti won't change everybody's mind, but it reaffirms (at least for the faithful) Zappa's chops as a bandleader and rock and roll wit who doesn't have to be socially relevant to get a laugh.
Instrumentally, Sheik Yerbouti is a refreshingly straightforward record.
Despite his cynicism and classical pretensions, Frank Zappa is still a first-class rock and roll musician, capable of peeling off on a hot guitar solo (the live "Yo' Mama" here) and penning a riveting riff.

 FRANK ZAPPA Sheik Yerbouti review
Along with adding some new fodder to the ZAPPA canon ("Bobby Brown", "Baby Snakes", "Dancin' Fool"), "Sheik Yerbouti" is notable for the introduction of new members Adrian Belew (guitar/vocals), Peter Wolf (keyboards) and Tommy Mars (keyboards) into the fold.
ZAPPA had become a master manipulator, creating remarkable monsters like "Rubber Shirt" (which fuses separate drum and bass tracks into an 11/4 frankenstein) and "Yo' Mama" (which pastes a guitar solo from a different recording into the proceedings).
The "funny" is what sells records, though, and "Sheik Yerbouti" sold remarkably well for a double album of demented rock.

 Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti
Sheik Yerbouti (1979) to be Frank Zappa's crowning achievement.
Sheik Yerbouti has several things working to its advantage.
At this juncture, two more instrumental tracks are brought in from the aforementioned different dimension -- "Rubber Shirt", an excellent bass/drum duet between Bozzio and O'Hearn, and "The Sheik Yerbouti Tango", one of the best melodies to appear on the album (mostly a guitar track, but with a strong keyboard presence as well).

Fool, Princess, Bobby Brown, Yerbouti are among the best-known songs of Zappa.
The album is fullfilled with bizzarre and erotic lyrics, social criticism, obvious agressive acts and racial parodies, the major points where the critics commonly said that Sheik is pure "[&*!#]", what is not true, obviously.

On 20 Feb 1996, Aaron J. Wexler wrote: > Got me a copy of Frank Zappa's Sheik Yerbouti, and in the song Flakes, > there is a great Dylan imitation compelete with the harmonica.
The imitation on Sheik Yerbouti was Adrian Belew's idea (who also performed it), but there is a similar kind of thing on The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life (1991), in the song The Torture Never Stops, Part One.
According to _Frank Zappa: The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play_ by Ben Watson, the Dylan imitation is performed by guitarist Adrian Belew, who had joined Zappa for the _Sheik Yerbouti_ album.
