Frank Zappa — Cheaper Than Cheep

Super Deluxe Edition 180-gram 3LP + 2CD + 1Blu-ray and booklet

Cheaper Than Cheep — 1974 unreleased Made-For-TV Concert Movie Recorded at The Mothers' Private Rehearsal Hall in Dolby Atmos + Soundtrack

Back in the early ‘70s, television was an integral tool for exposure of musical artists into the home. Completely decked out with his touring light show and stage setup in The Mothers' private rehearsal hall, Frank Zappa attempted to commit to videotape material for his own TV production, ultimately with the intention to shop to major networks. Unfortunately, there were technical issues that ultimately contributed to the footage being shelved and stored in the vault.

Now 50 years later, with the advancements in post-production editorial tools, we present Cheaper Than Cheep. This never-before-heard-or-seen 2-hour concert program reveals the most intimate performance ever captured from the 1974 Mothers line-up, direct from the lovingly resurrected and restored original vault audio and videotape masters.

Official Zappa release No. 130 comes in a special, limited Super Deluxe Edition featuring the remastered concert video with brand new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround and stereo mixes on a Blu-ray, the stereo soundtrack on 2CDs and 3LPs on 180-gram black vinyl, an extensive booklet with rare, unseen images and liner notes from Ruth Underwood and Joe Travers — all housed in a telescoping slipcase.
