Judy Henske & Jerry Yester Farewell Aldebaran (Deluxe Reissue)
Release Date: August 12, 2016
Label: Omnivore
Omnivore Recordings is proud to reintroduce Farewell Aldebaran nearly fifty years after its first release. This is the first authorized and licensed reissue of this oft-bootlegged psych-folk classic - originally issued on Frank Zappa’s inventive Straight Records label - now remastered from the original masters. From baroque pop to guitar-driven rockers, Farewell Aldebaran employs the use of instruments as unconventional as bowed banjos and hammered dulcimers to vocal samples on a Chamberlin tape organ to an early use of the Moog synthesizer on the title track. Farewell Aldebaran still defies classification, but has more than stood the test of time.
