ZAPPA/BEEFHEART/MOTHERS Bongo Fury (50th Anniversary 5-CD + Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition - Issued to mark the album's 50th anniversary, this 5CD + Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition revisits the singular 1975 collaboration between Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, built around the material and performances that emerged from their May 1975 work together. Bongo Fury drew from live recordings captured at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas, alongside studio recordings made at The Record Plant in Los Angeles, and remains a notable entry in the Zappa catalogue as the final release to feature the name "Mothers" before it was retired in 1976. This expanded edition presents five CDs of material, around 80% previously unreleased, including studio outtakes, live recordings, and both Armadillo World Headquarters concerts from 20 and 21 May 1975, complete and remixed from the original 16-track masters. The set also includes unseen photos and liner notes by band member Denny Walley and Vaultmeister Joe Travers. On the Blu-ray, the album is presented with new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Mixes, and High-resolution Stereo audio, alongside bonus surround audio drawn from Zappa's Vault. Housed inside a clamshell picture box with hype sticker, factory sealed. Recommended)
