Waka/Wazoo

In celebration of half a century of this pioneering phase of Frank Zappa’s peerless career, Zappa Records and Universal Music will be releasing "Waka/Wazoo", a 5 disc multi format box set that features a complete historical rundown of the entire project on December 16th, 2022.

The comprehensive 4 CD's + 1 BluRay audio set boasts unreleased alternate takes of almost every composition recorded during the album sessions, Vault mix session outtakes and oddities, and also includes the full final show of the 10 piece tour, recorded at the famous Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco on December 15th, 1972.

Additionally, the collection includes a set of demos for George Duke’s solo material that Zappa produced and played guitar on, during the album recording sessions at Paramount Studios. Although Duke would go on to re-record the compositions for his own albums, the versions with Zappa have never been officially issued until now.
