The Zappa Supplement: A Box Of History And The Mud Shark Saga

The Zappa Supplement: A Box Of History And The Mud Shark Saga

In the year 1969 the rock press began circulating a rumor (or was it fact?) that budding rock genius Frank Zappa was planning a twelve-album box set (or was it five albums?â€“ or nine?â€“ or ten?) of unreleased live recordings (or was it studio?), to be titled The History and Collected Improvisations of The Mothers of Invention. Unreleased recordings by important rock artists often achieve iconic status; consider the Beatlesâ€™ Get Back, the Beach Boysâ€™ Smile, or Jimi Hendrixâ€™s First Rays of the New Rising Sun. In each of these cases, public demand eventually led to the release of a post-hoc version of the lost work: for the Beatles, Let It Beâ€¦Naked; for the Beach Boys, Brian Wilsonâ€™s SMiLE; for Hendrix, the MCA First Rays compilation. Zappaâ€™s History set has been every bit as sought after as these other titles â€“ but has never seen the light of day. Or has it? In this book, authors Philip Lee and Scott Parker delve into the history of this unreleased Holy Grail of unreleased Frank Zappa projects.
