Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart & Mothers' Bongo Fury Reissued for Its 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition on 5CD + Blu-ray Box Set: Includes Studio Outtakes, Live Tracks, and the Armadillo Concerts Complete & Remixed from the Original 16-Track Masters. The Blu-ray Features New Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Mixes & Hi-Res Stereo Audio with Bonus Surround Experiences from Zappa's Vault.

Bongo Fury turns 50!

The classic collaboration between Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart during May 1975 resulted in a flurry of new compositions, a tour, and eventually an album. Bongo Fury is made up of mostly live recordings from the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin, Texas along with a few studio recordings from the Record Plant in Los Angeles. The album is a memorable addition to the Zappa Catalog and the last to feature the band name "Mothers" before it was retired in 1976.

This new 50th Anniversary Edition box set presents five CDs of material (roughly 80% unreleased), including studio outtakes, live tracks, plus the two Armadillo concerts complete and remixed from the original 16-track masters. Also included are unseen photos and liner notes from band member Denny Walley plus Vaultmeister Joe Travers. Blu-ray features new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 mixes, and high-resolution stereo audio with bonus surround experiences from Zappa's Vault.
