Frank Zappa's 5-hour show at the Whisky A Go Go that took place in Los Angeles on July 23, 1968, is set to be released as a live collection on June 21 via Zappa Records/UMe.

Fans can now listen to a previously unreleased version of "The Duke," recorded at the Whisky in '68. Zappa played the song twice at the show, and both the takes are set feature on the upcoming collection.

Ahmet Zappa and Joe Travers produced the Whisky A Go Go, 1968 collection, which contains all the tunes played by The Mothers of Invention across their three sets that night.

The Super Deluxe Edition box set will be released on both 5LP 180-gram black vinyl or 3CD, and it will feature a booklet with many unseen photos from the night's events, along with copious liner notes by Vaultmeister Joe Travers, and an essay by Pamela Des Barres of the Zappa-signed group The GTOs who played that evening.

The box set will also contain an interview by Ahmet Zappa with the legendary Alice Cooper, whose own band made a brief splash that night as one of the featured acts.

"It truly was a night of nights," as Travers says in the liners. "The Mothers performance wasn't perfect, but very good. Frank was in good spirits, the band played well, and the sequence of songs did capture the group's live repertoire of the time."
