Whisky A Go Go, 1968 Limited Edition 5LP + Custom Turntable Mat Box Set

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 were released by Zappa over the years, a full live album never happened & the tapes sat in the Vault for 55 years. Now all three sets by The Mothers are being released with brand new 2023 mixes in a 5-LP edition with 4-1/2 sides of music and the very last side featuring the first-ever silkscreen printed image on the vinyl for a Zappa release. Also included are liners by Joe Travers, Pamela Des Barres, and an interview by Ahmet Zappa with Alice Cooper. As an extra special bonus, a custom turntable mat is also included.

Dimensions: 12.5” x 12.5” x .80”
