I'm the Slime: Zappa's "Over-Nite Sensation" Goes Super Deluxe for 50th

August 28, 2023 By Joe Marchese 1 Comment

Frank Zappa Over Nite Sensation

The title of Frank Zappa's 1973 album Over-Nite Sensation was, expectedly, dripping with sarcasm; the album was the prolific composer-bandleader's seventeenth overall release. But the "sensation" part was spot-on. The LP became Zappa's first of two U.S. gold-certified releases and an ideal entry point into his musical world. On November 3, Zappa Records and UMe celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark record in a variety of formats including a 4CD/1Blu-ray super deluxe edition, 2LP and
