FRANK ZAPPA Cheaper Than Cheep (Unseen, unheard, and
unreleased for half a century - Cheaper Than Cheep
is an extraordinary archival release showcasing Frank
Zappa's 1974 Mothers in their most intimate and
experimental setting. Originally conceived as a made-for-TV
concert film, this private studio performance was staged in
the band's rehearsal space and captured with full touring
lights and gear. Technical limitations of the time meant the
footage was shelved, untilnow. Painstakingly restored
from original vault masters, this 2-hour performance
finally surfaces as official Zappa release #130, revealing the
tight interplay, daring arrangements, and unique humour of
this classic Mothers lineup. This triple album 3-LP set features
the full soundtrack on 180-gram black vinyl, housed
in deluxe packaging with a booklet of rare photos and new
liner notes from Ruth Underwood and Vaultmeister Joe
Travers. Hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended).
