Frank Zappa: Hammersmith Odeon 3-CD Set

IN HONOR OF FRANK ZAPPA’S 70TH BIRTHDAY ON DECEMBER 21

Hammersmith Odeon

Early in 1978 Frank Zappa played London’s Hammersmith Odeon and these concerts provided the source for the Basic Tracks for 1979’s Sheik YerBouti. Hammersmith Odeon, compiled & produced by Gail Zappa and Joe Travers is now available in the Special Party Pack 3-CD set designed to celebrate FZ’s 70th Birthday on December 21.

Mixed in NYC by Frank Filipetti, none of these tracks have been previously released and the track listing mirrors and/or parallels the set lists of the concerts. Peter Wolf, former band-member and current multi-faceted producer/arranger contributed Liner Notes.

The band is Frank Zappa, Lead Guitar & Vocals, Terry Bozzio, Drums & Vocals, Patrick O’Hearn, Bass & Vocals, Adrien Belew, Guitar & Vocals, Tommy Mars, Keys & Vocals, Peter Wolf, Keys and Ed Mann, Percussion.
