Lumpy Gravy: Primordial contains Frank Zappa’s 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.  Here it makes its debut on limited edition 45rpm burgundy vinyl with FZ’s original album design.

Notes

Record Store Day 2018 release on Audiophile Quality 180g Vinyl.
FZ's original 1967 orchestral-only edit of Lumpy Gravy available for the first time on LP! All-analog mastering on 45rpm 180g heavyweight burgundy vinyl.
Gold stamped number found on back of gatefold cover. Limited to 5000 pressings.

A curiously inconsistent piece which started out as a ballet but probably didn't make it.
Mastered directly from the reel-to-reel analog tape master by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, 2017.
