From 28-31 October 1977, Frank Zappa and his band played six historic shows at the 3,000 capacity New York Palladium. All the performances were recorded and while four were filmed for Zappa’s mammoth film project Baby Snakes, the audio of the six Halloween concerts will be released in their entirety as the massive Halloween 77 costume box set via Zappa Records/UMe – just in time to celebrate the shows 40th anniversary. The Halloween 77 box set includes all six concerts with 158 tracks (mixed in 2016 from original vault masters) in 24-bit WAV audio. “This box set was a very special experience for me to work on. I wanted to make sure we honored these legendary shows, so it was important to me that this box set felt of the era. It was a blast working with our partners to create the late ‘70s-inspired Frank Zappa Mask and costume and the candy-shaped USB stick filled with tons of Zappa goodness. It was yet again a labor of love gathering up all the archival materials, reading notes by people who were there, and most importantly making sure the audio was up to par. All of us at Zappa Records are mighty pleased with it, and hope that fans of Frank Zappa and of Halloween will be too.” - Admet Zappa
