Frank Zappa Zoot Allures 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition on 5CD + Blu-ray Box Set: Features Newly Remastered Original Album, Unreleased “Night of the Iron Sausage” Version of the Album with Bonus Material and Complete Live Concert: Live in Paris, France 1976

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Zoot Allures, this Super Deluxe Edition 5CD + Blu-ray set is comprised of the main album newly remastered, The Composer’s unreleased version of Zoot Allures – “Night of the Iron Sausage,” plus bonus material featuring unheard studio outtakes from the album sessions, alternate mixes, radio ads, a complete concert recorded in Paris, France, March 1976, and “Son of Canard Du Jour” with newly-recorded bass by Zappa band alumnus, Arthur Barrow.

Blu-ray contains 192k/24b and 96k/24b high-res audio of the new main album remaster, ATMOS + 5.1 immersive audio mixes by Studio1LA, and 3 bonus audio tracks from the Box Set all with bespoke visualizers displaying rare and unseen photos.

The box is topped off with an expanded booklet containing rare outtakes from the album cover photo shoot by Gary Heery, additional archival images by Neil Zlozower, plus new essays from Vaultmeister Joe Travers, Jason Pettigrew, and original Zoot Allures album engineer Michael Braunstein.

Shattering conventions – musical, social, political – was the life's work of Frank Zappa, the iconoclastic musical genius, rock legend and intellectual firebrand of the late twentieth century whose work is equally revered by hardcore rockers and serious musical scholars. The more minimalist approach taken on 1976's Zoot Allures brings old tropes back into the fold: doo-wop and blues-rock in particular.
