The REDZAPP label proudly presents its debut release: a historic 2-show collection of rare, high-quality 1969 live recordings from Frank Zappa & The Mothers!

🎸 June 5, 1969 – Portsmouth Guildhall, UK
Captured directly from a superb soundboard source, this UK performance highlights the Mothers in their creative prime, blending complex arrangements with their trademark irreverence.

🇺🇸 August 8, 1969 – Carousel Theatre, Framingham, MA, USA
Another pristine soundboard recording, this show features the short-lived but legendary lineup, including Roy Estrada on bass and Art Tripp on drums, both delivering tight and dynamic performances.

These recordings offer a crucial glimpse into the early evolution of Zappa’s visionary work, featuring extended improvisations, experimental textures, and biting satire that defined the original Mothers of Invention.
