BONGO FURY turns 50! The classic collaboration between Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart during May 1975resulted in a flurry of new compositions, a tour, and eventually an album. Bongo Fury is made up of mostly liverecordings from the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin, Texas along with a few studio recordings from the RecordPlant in Los Angeles. The album is a memorable addition to the Zappa Catalog and the last to feature the bandname Mothers before it was retired in 1976.
