Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention - Burnt Weeny Sandwich (1970/2018) [Vinyl]

Los Angeles – May 10, 2018 – Over the last several years, the Zappa Family Trust and UMe have lovingly been restoring Frank Zappa’s iconic catalog together by reissuing his classic albums on CD, pressing long-out-of-print records back on vinyl and digitizing the prolific composer’s vast repertoire. Next up in the ongoing vinyl initiative is Zappa’s enigmatic Burnt Weeny Sandwich which will receive a 180-gram audiophile repressing on black vinyl on June 22 via Zappa Records/UMe. Supervised by the ZFT, the record was specially mastered for this release by Bernie Grundman with all analog production and cut directly from the 1970 ¼” stereo safety master tape in 2018. Unavailable on vinyl for more than three decades, Zappa last released this on vinyl in 1986 in the rare Old Masters Box Two. The LP, which will be pressed at Pallas in Germany, will feature the album’s distinctive original cover art by frequent Zappa collaborator Cal Schenkel and include the original album’s black and white poster, which has never been reproduced in any of the album’s CD editions.
