OVER-NITE SENSATION IN THE ZAPPA NEWSLETTER

The album that has long been a favorite gateway into Zappa’s vast musical universe has been newly expanded into the collection Over-Nite Sensation: 50th Anniversary Edition. The 88-track, five-disc expanded super deluxe edition contains four CDs and blu-ray audio discs with outtakes, alternate edits, and unedited bonus vault masters, plus two previously unreleased live concert recordings from 1973 showcasing the same band that recorded the classic album: the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and Cobo Hall in Detroit.

The Blu-ray contains the core album newly remixed in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound, plus it offers Zappa’s original 4-channel quadraphonic mix (available again for the first time since 1973), as well as the hi-res stereo 2012 remaster. The set is rounded out with a 48-page booklet and unseen photos from the album cover shoot by Sam Emerson, along with liner notes and new essays by noted audiophile journalist Mark Smotroff and Joe Travers.

In addition to the super deluxe edition box set, there are two 280-gram vinyl offerings, including a 2LP 180-gram black audiophile vinyl reissue with the album cut at 45 rpm for the first time ever from the original analog tape, plus a bonus 24” x 12” poster of the complete cover art. Also, there’s a limited-edition 3LP deluxe color vinyl version with the album cut at 45 rpm on LPs one and two, and a third LP with 35 minutes of bonus tracks culled from the box set.

Will be available digitally everywhere on November 3rd!
