Overdue Zappa News: A new vinyl only album was released on 4/21 in honor of Record Store Day: Lumpy Gravy: Primordial. Here's the report on the official site on it:

"Lumpy Gravy Primordial" Vinyl Pressing - Record Store Day 2018

Coming on 4/21/18 for Record Store Day! Lumpy Gravy: Primordial contains Frank Zappas first orchestral-only edit of the music sessions recorded at Capitol Studios during 1967.

This self-described ballet was never officially issued until 2008 on the posthumous collection Lumpy Money. On Record Store Day 2018 it makes its debut on limited edition 12 45rpm mono translucent burgundy colored vinyl, mastered from the original 1967 1/4 mono master tape, with FZs original gatefold album design lovingly restored.

Pick up your copy at a record store near you on April 21!


Contrary to this news report, this version is actually slightly different from the Lumpy Money Project/Object version (for instance, this version starts with the "King Kong" theme while the LMPO version does not). So I guess this counts as a legitimately new album. Capitol Records already released this version without Frank's permission way back in August of 1967, but this would be the first official version of this album.
