Old Masters III

Old Masters III

The third volume of Frank Zappa's box set LP reissues of his early recordings contains eight albums originally released between 1972 and 1976 -- Waka/Jawaka, The Grand Wazoo, Over-Nite Sensation, Apostrophe', Roxy & Elsewhere, One Size Fits All, Bongo Fury, and Zoot Allures -- thus completing Zappa's own reprints of the Warner Bros. Records material (with the exception of Zappa In New York, Sleep Dirt, Studio Tan, and Orchestral Favorites, which were released by Barking Pumpkin subsequently on CD). The period found him ranging from the broad orchestral experiments of The Grand Wazoo to the more commercial pop-rock of Over-Nite Sensation and contains some of his most popular recordings.

This is a box set containing seven LPs by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention originally released between 1969 and 1972 -- Uncle Meat, Hot Rats, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, Chunga's Revenge, Fillmore East--June 1971, and Just Another Band From L.A.-- plus a "Mystery Disc" of previously unreleased material from the period. As such, it continues the story begun in The Old Masters, Box One bringing Frank Zappa up to the point that he had been injured by a fall from the stage in 1971 and broken up the second edition of the Mothers of Invention.
