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 Furyis made up of mostly live recordings from the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin, TX, 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 presents 5 CDs of material (roughly 80% unreleased) including studio outtakes and live tracks plus the two Armadillo concerts complete and remixed from the original 16-Track Masters. Also includes unseen photos and liner notes from band member, Denny Walley, plus Vaultmeister Joe Travers. Blu-Ray features new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 mixes, and high-resolution stereo audio with bonus surround experiences from Zappas Vault.TRACKLIST:Disc 1:Bongo Fury - The Album + Bonus FuryDebra KadabraCarolina Hard-Core EcstasySam With The Showing Scalp Flat TopPoofters Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead200 Years OldCucamongaAdvance RomanceMan With The Woman HeadMuffin ManCarolina Hard-Core Ecstasy (Long Version)Man With The Woman Head (Isolated Vocal)Muffin Man / A Little Green Rosetta (Alternate Take)200 Years Old (Long Version)Born To Suck (Vocal Session Snoop)Born To SuckDisc 2: Armadillo World Headquarters Live in Austin, TX, 5/20/19755-20-75 Show StartPut A Shirt On ManApostropheStink-FootIm Not SatisfiedDebra KadabraCarolina Hard-Core EcstasyThe Velvet SunrisePound For A Brown Part IPound For A Brown Part IISleeping In A JarDisc 3: Armadillo World Headquarters Live in Austin, TX, 5/20/1975 contdEnjoy The SteambathThe Torture Never Stops (Original Version)Camarillo BrilloMuffin ManAdvance RomanceMontanaDukes ThingsSam With The Showing Scalp Flat TopPoofters Froth Wyoming Plans AheadEchidnas Arf (Of You) / Terrys SoloThe Ampeg Mini-Moog Controller Guitar ExperimentWillie The PimpDisc 4: Armadillo World Headquarters Live in Austin, TX, 5/21/1975Good Evening, Ladies And GentlemenApostropheStink-FootIm Not SatisfiedDebra KadabraCarolina Hard-Core EcstasyThe Velvet SunrisePound For A Brown Part IWeve Had A Bomb ThreatPound For A Brown Part IIDisc 5: Armadillo World Headquarters Live in Austin, TX, 5/21/1975 contdAdvance RomanceFlorentine PogenMontanaCamarillo BrilloMuffin ManWillie The PimpClaremont RehearsalPoofters Froth Wyoming Plans AheadPortuguese Lunar LandingDisc 6: BLU-RAY(ATMOS, 5.1 surround + HRA 192k/24b & 96k/24b)Debra KadabraCarolina Hard-Core EcstasySam With The Showing Scalp Flat TopPoofters Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead200 Years OldCucamongaAdvance RomanceMan With The Woman HeadMuffin ManThe Torture Never Stops (Original Version)Debra Kadabra (1993 UMRK 6-Channel Mix)Poofters Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead (1993 UMRK 6-Channel Mix)
