Frank Zappa Bongo Fury (50th Anniversary)

Bongo Fury turns 50!  The classic collaboration between Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart during May 1975 resulted in a flurry of new compositions, a tour, and eventually an album. Bongo Fury is made up of mostly live recordings from the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin, TX, along with a few studio recordings from The Record Plant in Los Angeles. The album is a memorable addition to the Zappa Catalog and the last to feature the band name “Mothers” before it was retired in 1976

2LP - Analog mastering of the main album by Bernie Grundman on 180g black vinyl from original master tapes. Also includes record   from the box set, litho print, and booklet feat. unseen photos and liner notes frm guitarist, Denny Walley, and Vaultmeister Joe Travers.
