Coming soon: The Mothers at The Whisky a Go Go 1968


Whisky A Go Go, 1968 compiles everything The Mothers of Invention played across their three sets at the Whisky on July 23, 1968. This extensive collection is newly remixed on 5 LP, 2 LP and 3 CD.

FZ recorded the entire evening with the possibility of an album project. Although bits were released by Zappa over the years, a full live album never happened & the tapes sat in the Vault for 55 years.
