By 1977, Zappa’s Halloween shows in NYC were already the stuff of legend—but he took things to scary new heights that year, playing six shows at the Palladium from October 28–31. Four of those shows were filmed and resulted in the film "Baby Snakes"; this new 3-CD set includes the Halloween-night show in its entirety, mixed in 2016 from the original masters, plus select cuts from the other five shows: "Peaches en Regalia," "The Torture Never Stops," "Tryin’ to Grow a Chin," "Pound for a Brown," "Conehead," "Flakes," "Big Leg Emma," "Envelopes," "Disco Boy," "Lather," "Wild Love" and more. And for the major-league Zappa fan, there’s the Costume Box Set, which brings you all six shows in their entirety (all mixed from the original masters) in 24-bit WAV audio with a 32-page booklet. And the coup de grace? A Zappa Halloween mask and costume. Now, that is wicked-cool, as is the fact that this box brings you many unreleased performances and ultra-rare arrangements! UMe.
