Named the ‘Un-Concert’ by Zappa himself, the various live recordings featured on this deluxe vinyl release come from a host of venues played by Frank and his then-mothers during their 1973 tours of the US, Canada and Australia. In large part recorded between June and December that year, Mother Superior Frank then chose to provide WLIR-FM New York with his own reels to broadcast this selection of rare diamonds across the airwaves on New Year’s Eve 1974. The results are quite astonishing as can now be heard on this LP, featuring the entirety of the Zappa reels as were transmitted on that now legendary radio show.

Finally, this classic Frank Zappa album is available again on vinyl.

1971 was a year of big change for Frank Zappa and his Mothers Of Invention. He shook up the group’s membership significantly and was making big changes in his sound and vision, and really creating some of the greatest music of his career. The group had played a gig earlier in the evening and then recorded this mostly acoustic set for broadcast on CKGM-FM radio. The set finds Zappa backed by the former Turtles Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (aka The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie), as well as Ian Underwood, Aynsley Dunbar and more. A killer set of truly original music from one of the USA’s greatest ever musical exports.

Live at the "Piknik" show in the Netherlands, in 1970, this is the Zappa and the Mothers of Invention at their prime. Featuring a killer version of "King Kong", and "Call Any Vegetable". A classic live broadcast remastered in audiophile quality!

„Hot Rats“, originally released 1969, is Zappa’s second album. It‘s considered to be one of the first Jazzrock albums ever and mostly contains instrumental compositions except from one track.
