Funky Town Grooves.812814023881 The trailblazing DJ/producer dug deep (into his vast record collection and his deep reservoir of talent) for this new double album full of genre-bending instrumentals and vocal cuts featuring De La Soul, Run the Jewels, Nas, Dave East and more.

Those combined to make this LP a double-platinum smash; this remastered reissue adds demos, new and alternate versions…seven unissued bonus tracks!

Captain Beefheart guests on "Willie the Pimp," but this is mostly an instrumental affair—a proto-fusion classic featuring "Peaches en Ragalia," "Son of Mr. Green Genes," "Little Umbrellas," "The Gumbo Variations" and more. Shuggie Otis, Jean-Luc Ponty and Don "Sugarcane" Harris are among the musicians joining Frank here; it’s a Zappa essential, brought to hot pink 180-gram vinyl to mark the album’s 50th anniversary. And the 6-CD "Hot Rats Sessions" set you see here? Well, that spreads Zappas’ self-described "movie for your ears" out across an expansive new collection of rare and unedited mixes, outtakes, alternate versions…virtually everything recorded during these watershed Zappa sessions (including early incarnations of songs that would appear on future albums). This is an awe-inspiring treat for the Zappa freak in your life: "Piano Music" (Sections 1 & 3)," "Peaches Jam" (Pts. 1 & 2), "Willie the Pimp" (unedited master take, guitar overdubs, remixes, the 1969 "quick mix" and more), 1969 "mix outtake" versions of "Little Umbrellas," "It Must Be a Camel" and "Son of Mr. Green Genes," "Bognor Regis" (1970 Record Plant mix), "Hot Rats Vintage Promotion Ad #4," "Lil’ Clanton Shuffle" (1972 Whitney Studios mix), "Big Legs" (unedited master take), "Transition" (full version and more), two versions of "Natasha," 1969 and 1987 versions of "Peaches en Regalia" and more.

Ume.8435395502570 A breakthrough for both Jerry and Gamble & Huff, this 1968 LP was an unspeakably influential out-and-out soul classic.

Elemental.848064009566 White only recorded one live album at his peak, and that album—to the chagrin of many—has never been on CD at regular retail (only as a limited Rhino Handmade edition sold exclusively online). This 1971 concert recording was intended for release at the time, but was inexplicably shelved.
