Legendary guitarist Frank Zappa’s only shows held in Yugoslavia will be released this Friday, October 14 as Zappa ’75: Zagreb/Ljubljana. The latest FZ live archival set coming to Zappa Records/UMe has been previewed with a fantastic version of “Dirty Love” played by Frank and his band in Zagreb on November 21, 1975.
Zappa, who sadly died from cancer in 1993, was joined in Zagreb on November 21, 1975 and in Ljubljana on November 22, 1975 by keyboardist Andre Lewis, bassist Roy Estrada, drummer Terry Bozzio, tenor saxophonist/vocalist Napoleon Murphy Brock and alto saxophonist/vocalist Norma Bell. The rare lineup would dissolve within a month making Zappa ’75: Zagreb/Ljubljana an important document of FZ history.
Zappa ’75: Zagreb/Ljubljana compiles the best performances from each night into one seamless collection presented in the same order as the setlists used in Yugoslavia. Zappa Vaultmeister Joe Travers co-produced the set with Ahmet Zappa. All told, Zappa ’75: Zagreb/Ljubljana features 27 tracks spanning nearly two-and-a-half hours.
“Dirty Love” was originally released by Zappa on his 1973 studio album Over-Nite Sensation. The previously unreleased version included on Zappa ’75: Zagreb/Ljubljana contains a short but powerful shred session from Frank as well as Brock and Bell’s particularly cool saxophone harmonies.
