Frank Zappa, mega box per Halloween (con tanto di maschera e costume)

Da chi volete vestirvi ad Halloween? Se volete sembrare davvero originali, ecco l'occasione che fa per voi: una maschera e un costume di Frank Zappa. E' contenuta in "Halloween 1977", box in arrivo il 20 ottobre: sei concerti registrati nel 1977 a New York, per un totale di 158 canzoni, che arrivano in una scatola che contiene anche un chiavetta usb a forma di caramella e, appunto, maschera e costume di Frank Zappa.

Frank Zappa teneva show di Halloween già alla fine degli anni ’60 e nel 1972 diventarono un appuntamento annuale - oggi lo stesso rituale è ripetuto da band come i Phish e i Gov't Mule.
Quelli del '77 si svolsero dal 28 al 31 ottobre 1977 al Palladium: una parte venne filmata e pubblicata nel film “Baby Snakes”. Originariamente i concerti dovevano essere quattro, dal 28 al 31 Ottobre; Zappa aggiunse poi altri due show per un totale di sei concerti in quattro giorni.  La line-up comprendeva Terry Bozzio (batteria), Tommy Mars e Peter Wolf (tastiere), Adrian Belew (chitarra e voce), Ed Mann (percussioni) e Patrick O’Hearn (basso)

La Zappa Family Trust e Universal hanno deciso di pubblichare per intero quei concerti, che saranno disponibili anche in una versione ridotta da 3 CD, "Hallowen". Il "Costume box", invece comprende tutte le registrazioni, con audio remixato e ad alta fedeltà, un booklet digitale di 28 pagine con foto inedite e contributi di Adrian Belew e il tour manager Phil Kaufman
