Originally launched to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Lumpy Gravy and We’re Only In It For The Money in 2008, the Lumpy Money Project/Object features alternative tracks, along with studio outtakes, instrumental mixes and interviews with Zappa.
It’ll be presented on 3CD and also features a booklet with photos and liner notes penned by David Fricke and Gail Zappa. It’l be released on May 27 via Universal.
On the same day, Road Tapes Venue #1, Road Tapes Venue #2 and Road Tapes Venue #3 will be launched, each on 2CD.
Road Tapes Venue #1 was recorded at Kerrisdale Arena, Vancouver, in 1968, Road Tapes Venue #2 was compiled from material from Zappa’s August 1973 performance in Helsinki, Finland, while Road Tapes Venue #3 features two complete shows from the Tyrone Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, from July 1970.
Meanwhile, filmmaker Alex Winter’s documentary Who The F*@% Is Frank Zappa recently smashed its $1 million Kickstarter target.
