On July 23, 1968, Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention took over the Whisky a Go Go for an all-night affair. FZ recorded the entire evening with the possibility of an album project. Although bits were released by Zappa over the years, a full live album never happened & the tapes sat in the Vault for 55 years. Now all three sets by The Mothers are being released with brand new mixes in a 3-CD edition with liners by Joe Travers, Pamela Des Barres, & an interview by Ahmet Zappa with Alice Cooper.
Tracklist:
CD 1 Whisky Improvisation: Episode I America Drinks & Goes Home Help, I’m A Rock / Transylvania Boogie My Boyfriend’s Back Bust His Head Tiny Sick Tears Jam “The Purpose Of This Evening…” Whisky Improvisation: Episode II Status Back Baby Memories Of El Monte Oh, In The Sky Valerie

We finally have some movement on this release on Amazon. The 2 LP highlight version has just been added to Amazon US and UK this morning. I will post the links for the CD version when it goes live.

Just checking in to report what an amazing set this is. I can't say that I have every live Zappa album, but I can say I don't already own something of this caliber.

Easily in my top 25 Zappa albums. I wish the box included all of the acts. This wasn’t a concert…it was an event.
