About this item

'Bongo Fury' turns 50!  The classic collaboration between Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart during May 1975 resulted in a flurry of new compositions, a tour, and eventually an album. 'Bongo Fury' is made up of mostly live recordings from the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin TX, along with a few studio recordings from The Record Plant in Los Angeles. The album is a memorable addition to the Zappa Catalog and the last to feature the band name Mothers before it was retired in 1976.
