FRANK ZAPPA - HAMMERSMITH ODEON


Recorded at 'The Hammersmith Odeon' in London in 1978, this brand-new Zappa album shows a band that is in great shape, playing a great bunch of tunes.
I'm listening to disc two right now ('Audience Participation' time), and this is fabulous.
The discs got their premiere at the Roundhouse last weekend, and ZpZ is bringing copies along on tour. You can get if from the Zappa dot com site as well, of course.

  1. I've bought "Hammersmith Odeon" as a 4 LP Box (Official Vinyl Release #89) which is a limited edition. I think to have bought #99/100 This Box contains Bonus Tracks:

    Wild Love
    Yo' Mama
    Outro / Purple Lagoon

    I was looking for this Box in Internet and there is no information about this box. It is an official VAULTernative Records release with 4 records (White Vinyl). I've paid 90€.

    Does anyone knows some facts about this releas?
