New Frank Zappa box set due in February

A new box set of Frank Zappa material is due to be released in February, focusing on his two night, four show stand at the Los Angeles Roxy Theatre in December 1973.

Tracks from the performances have been featured on the 1974 live album, Roxy and Elsewhere, along with Roxy by Proxy and Roxy the Movie. This will be the first time the concerts have been released in their entirety.

“This is one of my favorite FZ line-ups ever. This box contains some of the best nights of music Los Angeles has ever seen with their ears at an historic venue,” Ahmet Zappa said in a statement. “Hold on to your hotdogs people. This box is the be-all-end-all. This is it. This is all of it. It’s time to get your rocks off for the Roxy.”

It is due for release on February 2, 2018, and you can find more Frank Zappa rarities and collectables in our store.
