ZAPPA FRANK – ZOOT ALLURES LP

Description

Vinyl LP pressing. Zoot Allures is a 1976 rock album by Frank Zappa. This was Zappa’s only release on the Warner Bros. Records label. Due to a lawsuit with his former manager, Herb Cohen, Frank Zappa’s recording contract was temporarily reassigned from DiscReet Records to Warner Bros. The album was originally conceptualized as a double LP, but Zappa rearranged, edited, and shortened the track listing to what was eventually released as a single album. Zappa recorded the album after completing a world tour with a band including Napoleon Murphy Brock on tenor sax and vocals, Andre Lewis on keyboards, Roy Estrada on bass and Terry Bozzio on drums. However, this band appeared only on the live track “Black Napkins” with only Bozzio retained to play on the sessions, although Lewis and Estrada contributed backing vocals.
