Frank Zappa

This 4-CD box set celebrates 1970's short-lived Mothers of Invention iteration featuring Frank Zappa, Aynsley Dunbar (drums), George Duke (piano/keys/trombone), Ian Underwood (organ/keys/guitar), Jeff Simmons (bass/vocals) and Flo and Eddie a.k.a. Howard Kaylan (vocals) and Mark Volman (vocals/percussion) of The Turtles.  This lineup injected a heavily comedic, often off-color element to Zappa's oeuvre while still retaining the impeccable musicality for which the maverick composer was known.  With over four hours of unreleased material, including sessions from London's Trident Studios, recently unearthed songs, alternate takes of fan favorites, plus live recordings from The Netherlands, California, Spokane and beyond, this box will be a definitive look at the acclaimed Mothers of 1970 in the studio and onstage.
