Cheaper Than Cheap (3LP 180g)

Back in the early '70s, television was an integral tool for exposure of musical artists into the home. Completely decked out with his touring light show and stage setup, Frank Zappa attempted to commit to videotape material for his own TV production, ultimately with the intention to shop to major networks. Just like The Roxy Performances film shoot months prior, there were technical issues that ultimately contributed to the footage being shelved and stored in the Vault. 50 years later, with the advancements in post-production editorial tools, we present Cheaper Than Cheep. This new 2-hour concert program features classic performances of the 1974 Mothers line-up, direct from the newly restored original vault audio and videotape masters. Official Zappa release #130's stand-alone soundtrack configuration comes as 3-LPs on 180-gram black vinyl accompanied by an extensive booklet with rare, unseen images and liner notes from Ruth Underwood and Joe Travers.
