Includes 75 tracks, including unreleased live recordings of two shows! 5 CDs + Blu-ray (sound only), 52-page booklet in English. The time has come to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the most popular record in Frank Zappa's vast catalog. Zappa, who had been in the industry for a decade by then, also developed his own unique music on Apostrophe('). Frank Zappa was making music that was different from anyone else's. And this album - especially the song “Don't Eat the Yellow Snow” - brought that unique and wonderful sound to the world in a way that no one, including Frank, had expected. It was a great way to introduce a unique and wonderful sound to the world in a way that no one, including Frank, had expected.” - Joe Travers, Zappa family tape warehouse keeper Blu-ray Audio (sound only): “Don't Eat the Yellow Snow” became the first Zappa song to chart on the singles chart, and the title track “Apostrophe (')” featured Jack Bruce (ex-Cream, bass) and Jim Gordon (ex-Derek and the Dominos, drums). Apostrophe ('),” Zappa's biggest hit, was also a hot topic of conversation. All the songs are now available in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound (the latest mix produced by Eric Gobel and Carma Auger at Studio 1LA), 4-channel stereo mix produced by Zappa himself (first official release in 50 years, since 1974!) ), and a 4-channel stereo mix produced by Zappa himself (the first official release since 1974!), in 192kHz/24-bit and 96kHz/24-bit high-res stereo (the latest master by Bernie Grundman) formats. CD1: The latest master of the full-length album produced by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering), as well as alternate takes and mixes of the recorded tracks (7 of which were included on 2016's “The Cracks of the Biscuit”), and the album version. The album also includes a number of related recordings, including an unedited master of the title track, which also features a six-minute performance that is not included on the album version. CDs 2 & 3: Includes a performance from March 21, 1974 in Colorado Springs, Colorado (the exact venue is unknown, but the most popular theory is that it was at the Civic Auditorium). This was one of the shows of the five-week tour that preceded the Zappa-led Mothers of Invention's 10th anniversary tour, and the audience can hear new arrangements of famous songs, new songs at the time, and a rare performance of “Babette,” which was seldom performed. The performance by this lineup, including Jeff Simmons (guitar/vocals), who also played with the Mothers in 1970, has never been included in any of Zappa's official releases. CD 4 & 5: Recorded on November 20, 1974 at the Harrah's Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The band consisted of Zappa (guitar/vocals), George Duke (keyboards/vocals), Napoleon Murphy Block (tenor sax/flute/vocals), Tom Fowler (bass), Chester Thompson (drums), Ruth Underwood (percussion). The Dayton show is the last live recording of this lineup in existence. The Dayton show is the last surviving live recording of this lineup. CD4 begins with a recording of the popular song “Inca Rose” from the March 1974 Salt Lake City show. English booklet: Detailed liner notes by Joe Travers, the Zappa family's tape warehouse keeper, and British journalist Simon Prentice, as well as treasured photos taken by Sam Emerson, who created the iconic jacket photo for “Apostrophe(')”. <Japanese edition only.Complete translation of the English liner notes, lyrics, and bilingual translation included.SHM-CD specificationRegistration InformationPacking size : 13.6 x 13.5 x 2.4 cm; 280 gPublisher : Universal MusicEAN : 4988031669709Duration : 5 hrs. 24 min.Label : Universal MusicASIN : B0DB122L8WCountry of Origin : JapanNumber of discs : 6 Payment We usually ship within 5 - 10 business days of receiving cleared payment.
