Com autorização da Zappa Trust e produção de Ahmet Zappa e Zappa Vaultmeister, 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition reúne a trilha sonora original, recentemente remasterizada pelo lendário Bernie Grundman no Bernie Grundman Mastering, juntamente com uma quantidade impressionante de material raro e inédito obtidos do cofre de Frank Zappa, incluindo demos originais, outtakes de estúdio, mixagens, entrevistas e anúncios de filme, que incluem diálogos recém-descobertos do músico, revelando uma edição de áudio inicial do filme.

200 Motels foi lançado originalmente em outubro de 1971 e seu contexto artístico é uma colisão cinematográfica dos mundos musicais e visuais de Frank Zappa, que foi acompanhado da banda The Mothers Of Invention. Nomes históricos do rock como Ringo Starr, o saudoso baterista Keith Moon, além dos atores Pamela Des Barres e Theodore Bikel participaram deste audacioso projeto de Zappa.

O filme 200 Motels foi descrito por Frank Zappa como “ao mesmo tempo uma reportagem de eventos reais e uma extrapolação deles … outros elementos incluem ‘subprodutos conceituais’ do ‘evento real’ extrapolado … De certa forma, o conteúdo do filme é autobiográfico”.

Frank Zappa, utilizando guitarra e baixo, é acompanhado no álbum por Mark Volman (voz e material especial), Howard Kaylan (voz e material especial), Ian Underwood (teclados), Aynsley Dunbar (bateria), George Duke (teclado e trombone), Martin Lickert (baixo), Jimmy Carl Black (voz) e Ruth Underwood (bateria da orquestra), além da Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Confira o conteúdo completo de 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition, que já está em pré-venda no site oficial do produto com valores que variam entre US$ 35,98 e US$ 149,98 (entre R$ 195 e R$ 814 no câmbio atual). Taxas poderão ser cobradas.
