Frank Zappa - Orchestral Favorites (40th Anniversary Edition) (3 CD) tbr August 15th 2019

New remaster! Does this mean I can finally be able to hear the album properly without having to sit with my back to the speakers? Or with the headphones on backwards? Huzzah!

But; yeah: autobuy. Of course. I wonder if the 32-page booklet will include the original cover art (which I always liked.) ZINY did. 'Meat Light' didn't.

 

without me : not rock enough for my taste.

 

Unexpected and very welcome!

 

Only 4 years late for a 40th anniversary but better than not at all. I automatically buy every Zappa release, but I'll wait for a cheaper price first.

 

OMG! I'm so in. Fantastic album and I've been wanting a deluxe of this one since the first MOFO. Whee!

 

Really? Because the 1991 Barking Pumpkin CD claims that the album was recorded in 1979 but not released until 1975. Maybe attention to detail isn't the ZFT's strong suit.

 

^Yes, it got released in 1979, so 40th anniversary.

 

I suppose that's true. C'mon we gotta complain about something with the ZFT.

 

Well, of all Zappa albums to get the deluxe treatment, I did not see this one coming. I’m in because of course I am, but I mean, isn’t Hot Rats turning 50 this year?

 

Hello, room service? I got a 404 when I clicked the link.

 

Someone obviously let the cat out of the bag a bit too soon.

 

I think a Hot Rats anniversary release will happen. Ahmet is coauthoring a book about the album, Dweezil is doing a tour playing the album.

 

this is really exciting! i hope it's actually happening, such a great record! Pedro's Dowry is one of my favorites

 

Oh, hey! Another full version of "Rollo"!

This looks like a damn sweet piece. C'mon, ZFT - get this tasty little sucker on Amazon so I may preorder its goodness.

 

A friend of mine spoke to Mike Keneally recently who confirmed a HR's deluxe is indeed on the way & is fantastic.

 

Wonderful news !!!

 

It's on Amazon now, although with a release date of August 30th

I take it the Amazon price of $27 is lower than the price folks were complaining about up thread or do we have some serious cheapskates here?

 

It was $48.99 at the previous zappa.com link.

 

Now, that-a nice price!

 

Hey!
Time's is tight!

 

Wowee Zowee

 

True ‘nuf! But you also know some of the people on this forum think all multi-CD sets should be between $2-$5 per disc.

 

My ears are burning...

If (lossless) downloads show up for le$$, I'm there.
