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 features all-analog mastering of the classic album from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman on 180g black vinyl.
