FRANK ZAPPA – Bongo Fury (50th Anniversary Expanded Edition) – 2LP – 180g Vinyl [MAR 20]

Description

2LP – 180g Black Vinyl. This new 50th Anniversary Expanded Edition features all analog mastering of the classic album by Bernie Grundman from the original master tapes and a second disc featuring highlights from the 6-disc box set, a lithograph print, plus booklet featuring unseen photos and liner notes from band member, Denny Walley, and Vaultmeister Joe Travers (2026 Reissue).

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.

This new 50th Anniversary Edition features all analog mastering of the main album by Bernie Grundman on 180g black vinyl from the original master tapes. Also includes a bonus record with highlights from the 6-disc box set, a lithograph print, plus booklet featuring unseen photos and liner notes from band member, Denny Walley, and Vaultmeister Joe Travers.
