Frank Zappa’s Unaired Concert Special to Be Released After More Than 50 Years
A never-aired Frank Zappa concert, dubbed 'Cheaper Than Cheep,' will be released on May 9 via Zappa Records/UMe in a 'super deluxe' box set.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’d like to welcome you to the world’s cheapest television special, which is being manufactured for your edification right here in the midst of our Mothers of Invention rehearsal hall at 5831 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, California,” Zappa says in the footage. A Blu-ray version (with Dolby Atmos) of the “Cheaper Than Cheap” concert film will be available for purchase as part of a deluxe box set featuring a 2CD and 3LP of the performance. The box set also comes with an extensive 12-page booklet with rare images and informative liner notes from Travers alongside a detailed and heartfelt remembrance from musician Ruth Komanoff Underwood who performed percussion that evening.
