Titled Whisky A Go Go, 1968, this lovingly curated collection — which was released by Zappa/UMe on June 21, 2024 — is a time-capsule snapshot moment in time when Zappa’s original band was reaching an arguable performing peak. The music showcased on this new 180g 5LP set was recorded with the intention of being released as a live album back in the day. Captured on a then-cutting edge 8-channel multitrack recorder onboard a mobile truck courtesy San Francisco’s Wally Heider Studios (a.k.a., since 1980, Hyde Street Studios) — this long overdue archival release goes a long way to delivering the essence of what the early Mothers were all about.
