Frank Zappa, in arrivo il cofanetto di ‘Apostrophe’
“Apostrophe”, album del 1974 di Frank Zappa e unico lavoro del grande compositore e performer di Baltimora a raggiungere la top ten nelle classifiche di vendita americana, sarà ripubblicato sotto forma di cofanetto per celebrarne il cinquantesimo anniversario dalla pubblicazione.
L’uscita, prevista per il prossimo 13 settembre, sarà articolata in sei dischi (5 Cd e un Blu-Ray con i mixaggi in Dolby Atmos e in quadrifonia), e includerà - oltre l’album originale in versione rimasterizzata - anche registrazioni dal vivo e rarità dagli archivi: tra le altre tracce presenti della tracklist, sono da segnalare due outtake di “Nanook Rubs It”, i mixaggi alternativi della title track e di “Uncle Remus” e le registrazioni live di due spettacoli tenuti a Colorado Springs e Dayton, Ohio, risalenti all’anno di uscita del disco.
