Frank Zappa - Zappa

Deluxe 180-gram 5LP box set!

Includes rare and unreleased tracks!

Alex Winter's highly acclaimed documentary, Zappa, highlights the prolific genius composer, free speech activist, cultural ambassador to Czechoslovakia and legendary musician, Frank Zappa, as well as the release of the corresponding Zappa Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

This deluxe edition 180-gram 5LP box set showcases Zappa's unique sonic brilliance and includes nearly every song heard in the film, including 12 previously unreleased recordings from The Vault, which include performances from the Whisky A Go-Go in 1968, the Fillmore West in '70 and Zappa's famed performance of "Dancin' Fool" on Saturday Night Live in '78.

The soundtrack spans Zappa's expansive catalog with 25 additional songs from across his peerless and influential career, from his seminal 1966 debut double album with the Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, to the final release of his lifetime, 1993's The Yellow Shark, a live orchestral album performed by the Ensemble Modern in Europe in 1992.
