Judy Henske & Jerry Yester - Farewell Aldebaran

Omnivore Recordings is proud to reintroduce Farewell Aldebaran nearly fifty years after its original release. This marks the first authorized and licensed reissue of this often-bootlegged psych-folk classic—originally issued on Frank Zappa’s inventive Straight Records label—now remastered from the original master tapes.

From baroque pop to guitar-driven rockers, Farewell Aldebaran showcases an eclectic mix of sounds, featuring unconventional instrumentation such as bowed banjos, hammered dulcimers, vocal samples played on a Chamberlin tape organ, and an early use of the Moog synthesizer on the title track. The album still defies classification, but has more than stood the test of time.

Long out of print, Farewell Aldebaran has finally found a proper home. Please say hello to Farewell Aldebaran!

Limited orange and yellow starburst-colored vinyl LP pressing, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
