Bongo Fury is made up of mostly live recordings from the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin", Texas along with a few studio recordings from the Record Plant in Los Angeles. The album is a memorable addition to the Zappa Catalog and the last to feature the band name ""Mothers"" before it was retired in 1976. This new 50th Anniversary Edition features all-analog mastering of the classic album from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman on 180g black vinyl. Deluxe 2-LP set includes 7 bonus tracks.
