Frank Zappa – Munich 80 LP Online Sale

This historic 1980 Munich concert has the distinction of being the first ever live direct to digital stereo recording of Frank Zappa. The show was the last of the spring summer tour with the group playing at peak performance. Mastered by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in 2022, the entire concert is presented here on on three 180g audiophile vinyl LPs. The package also features photography and a memoir from George Alper, who worked for Zappa, along with liner notes from Arthur Barrow and Vaultmeister Joe Travers. The concert at Munich s Olympiahalle saw the band firing on all cylinders after three months on the road together. The set featured such highlights as Cosmik Debris, Dancin Fool, Pound For A Brown, The Illinois Enema Bandit, and a cover of Tony Allen s Nite Owl. Notably the band played an early rendition of Pick Me, I m Clean, which Zappa would release the following year on the double live album, Tinsel Town Rebellion.
