Bongo Fury (50th Anniversary)

BONGO FURY turns 50!   The Zappa & Beefheart collab in May 1975 resulted in new songs, a tour, & album. Bongo Fury is mostly live recordings from Austin, TX & the last to use the name “Mothers” before it was retired in 1976.  

The super deluxe edition presents 5 CDs of material (roughly 80% unreleased) including studio outtakes and live tracks plus the two Armadillo concerts complete and remixed from the original 16-Track Masters. Also includes unseen photos and liner notes from band member, Denny Walley, plus Vaultmeister Joe Travers.
