50 YEARS OF ZOOT ALLURES
The Zoot Allures 50th Anniversary Edition is here, cracking open the vault on the 1976 classic with the newly remastered original album, previously unreleased recordings, alternate mixes and edits, rare archival treasures, immersive audio, and a complete 1976 concert live from Paris.
The new 5CD & Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition unearths Zappa’s previously unreleased 2LP configuration, tentatively titled “Night of the Iron Sausage,” alongside unheard studio outtakes, radio ads, and plenty more peculiar treasures from the vault.

A MESSAGE FROM THE COMET IS COMING
RETROSPECTIVE
Ten years ago we released our first LP entitled Channel The Spirits.
We had no idea at the time where this would take us, as we documented the inception of our newfound synergy, sound waves billowing out of our collective imagination straight to tape right from the first moment.
We celebrate this milestone by bringing together all of our music from that period, including the Prophecy & Death To The Planet EPs, with additional tracks never heard before - both from the studio and for the first time, live performances.
While searching back through the archives, we discovered an unreleased gem, aptly titled 'Late Night Party Jam 2'. Guests had been invited into the studio to dance and play percussion while we jammed into the night, elevated by the collective experience.
This is our first offering from Exploding In Slow Motion: The Complete Channel The Spirits Recordings 2013-2017CE, released November 20 on The Leaf Label.
Available on polychromatic ‘Ring Nebula’ limited edition 3LP (Bandcamp & Rough Trade exclusive), coloured vinyl 3LP, 2CD and Bandcamp exclusive double cassette.
