In occasione del cinquantenario dalla sua uscita, viene pubblicato un cofanetto di 6 CD dedicato a Hot Rats di Frank Zappa.
In uscita il prossimo 20 dicembre, un giorno prima di quello che sarebbe stato il 79 compleanno del baffuto musicista, The Hot Rats Sessions conterrà tutto quanto registrato in quei prolifici giorni del 1969, con grande abbondanza di materiale raro o mai sentito prima.
Mixato a partire dai master originali da Craig Parker Adams, masterizzato da Bob Ludwig, supervisionato dallo Zappa Trust e prodotto da Ahmet Zappa e Joe Travers, il cofanetto sarà arricchito da un booklet di 28 pagine contenente immagini, foto, saggi e note dettagliate.
Insieme al cofanetto, verrà ripubblicato, in vinile 180 grammi rosa, anche il disco originale e un’edizione limitata del 10″ Picture disc Peaches In Regalia EP.
