Cheaper Than Cheep – 1974 Unreleased Made-For-TV Concert Movie Recorded at The Mothers’ Private Rehearsal Hall in Dolby ATMOS + Soundtrack

Back in the early ā€˜70s, television was an integral tool for exposure of musical artists into the home. Completely decked out with his touring light show and stage setup in The Mothers’ private rehearsal hall, Frank Zappa attempted to commit to videotape material for his own TV production, ultimately with the intention to shop to major networks. Unfortunately, there were technical issues that ultimately contributed to the footage being shelved and stored in the Vault.

50 years later, with the advancements in post-production editorial tools, we presentĀ Cheaper Than Cheep. ThisĀ never-before-heard-or-seenĀ 2-hour concert program revealsĀ the most intimate performanceĀ ever capturedĀ fromĀ the 1974 Mothers line-up, direct from theĀ lovingly resurrected and restored original vault audio and videotape masters.Ā
