Label:  Discreet Records   DSK 2294

Art direction:  Rick Serrini

Design & Illustration:  Lars Panter

Notes:  Recorded in concert at Royce Hall, Los Angeles in 1975 with a 37-piece orchestra this album contains both old and new music. It’s mostly orchestral in nature with a little help from rock percussion here and there. In the same vein as the Läther series, this the fourth in the series, there’s a bit of an uneven feel, but it’s still Frank and it’s still worth a listen. I’ll let the cover art speak for itself.

Line Up:

Frank Zappa - Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals, Producer
Terry Bozzio - Drums
Dave Parlato - Bass
Emil Richards - Percussion
