''Over-Nite Sensation'' is an , Whitney, in Glendale , and Paramount in Los Angeles . The album was released in both the 2-channel Stereo and 4-channel Quadraphonic formats.

The album is considered a turning point in Zappa's career, since its approach to music is very different from everything he had done before - it was a more accessible sound, yet not without Zappa's typical musical challenges. Zappa managed to craft in 3-to-6-minute structures complicated jazz-rock arrangements, as well as some Funk and other styles. The lyrics tend toward parody, being either about sex ("Dirty Love", "Zomby Woof" and the paradigmatic example of "Dinah-Moe Humm") or social commentary ("I'm The Slime", a bash on TV programming) and others ("Fifty-Fifty", "Montana").

''Over-Nite Sensation'' and the following album '' Apostrophe (') '', recorded with the same group of musicians, are the subject of a ''Classic Albums'' series documentary from Eagle Rock Entertainment , released on DVD May 1 2007 .
