The Dub Room Special! (soundtrack)

The Dub Room Special! is an album by American musician Frank Zappa, released in August 2007. It is the soundtrack for the film of the same name, and combines recordings from a TV special performance on August 27, 1974, and from two concerts in New York City on October 31, 1981. The album, originally prepared for vinyl release by Zappa, was first sold at Zappa Plays Zappa shows in the United States during August 2007. Shortly thereafter, it became available for mail order. For a limited time, each copy of the CD contained a small souvenir piece of tape from Zappa's Utility Muffin Research Kitchen studio.
