On July 23, 1968, Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention took over the Whisky a Go Go for an all-night affair. FZ recorded the entire evening with the possibility of an album project. Although bits and pieces were released by Zappa over the years, a full live album never happened, and the tapes sat in the Vault for 55 years.
Now all three sets by The Mothers are being released with brand new mixes in a 3-CD edition with liners by Joe Travers, Pamela Des Barres, & an interview by Ahmet Zappa with Alice Cooper. The 2LP 180-gram vinyl 'Highlights' edition features highlights from all 3 sets and liner notes by Joe Travers.
