The Zappa Family Trust and Third Man Records is proud to announce its 36th Vault package focused squarely on Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band's Trout Mask Replica. *Trout Mask Replica LP on fruitcake colored vinyl*Trout Mask Replica "mask"*Trout Mask Replica Tote bag*Trout Mask Replica patch* 45 white vinylOut of print on vinyl for nearly ten years, this remaster was helmed by industry legend Bob Ludwig and cut by the estimable Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Utilizing crystalline-quality safety masters kept in the Zappa family vault for decades by the trustworthy Joe Travers, the audio here is positively glorious. Every last skronk breathes full life into the room. Every twisted guitar figure uncurls onto paths previously unpaved. Every last bark and howl shines resolute through the vast emptiness of your mind.Previous countless Trout Mask Replica repressings used scans of scans of scans of the cover image, but for Vault Package #36 the original Cal Schenkel cover photo has been tracked down and reproduced here at its clearest - its resolution from the original release in 1969. If you've only ever seen a jpg online or fuzzy, smeared-looking CD issues from the 90's, be prepared to be wowed by the fully engaging spectrum this iconic image casts. This 2xLP is pressed on heavyweight 180-gram fruitcake fish-scale colored vinyl for that full-on frenetic feeling.The French-only 7-inch single of "Pachuco Cadaver" b/w "Wild Life" will also be included as part of this overreaching package. As the only single ever pulled from this admittedly dense album, this is the first time EVER that "Pachuco Cadaver" has been repressed and comes wonderfully housed in a replica glue-pocket picture sleeve and pressed on a white colored vinyl. ALL vinyl in this package is lovingly pressed at Third Man Pressing's state-of-the-art plant in Detroit, Michigan for that extra-special attention to detail. Additionally, Third Man Records has undertaken the creation of the first ever replica trout mask. Much in the spirit of the cardboard cutouts included in original copies of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's album, this mask will be a hit at Halloween parties and Duchampian celebrations for eons to come. If that's not enough, Third Man has commissioned an impressive, striking fabric patch that reproduces the Trout Mask cover art, an insignia that will signify any wearer as a follower in the Captain's army. And if that's not enough, the revered illustrator Jess Rotter of Rotter and Friends has run the Trout Mask cover through her inimitable style and cooked up an inspired line-drawing rendering that beautifully graces a sturdy, durable tote bag to hold all these wonderful sundries in. Finally, as a testament to the inspiring life of Don Van Vliet, Third Man has lovingly printed Jack White's epitaph for the man in glorious, psychedelic silkscreen broadside wonderment. You will receive our UNOPENED vault package as it is not our "cup of tea" as we would rather Jack kept the vault for his music, but this is something different, and we would love to pass it on to a fellow fan and collector of this genre...will ship USPS Priority insured.
