Repressed for the first time in years, originally a 2CD release, this 20th Anniversary Edition combines all the music from the original release on one disc and features a new 24-page booklet. Featuring the classic line up of Zorn (as, vocals), Fred Frith (b), Bill Frisell (g), Wayne Horvitz (keyboards), Joey Baron (d) & Yamantaka Eye (vocals). Of all the records out there dedicated to Lip Cream, this is the one! "The controversial and influential Naked City Black Box couples two of Zorn's most extreme and violent creations. Torture Garden (1991) presents Naked City's intense and groundbreaking music combining free jazz, bebop, r&b, country, funk, rockabilly, surf, metal and grindcore -- usually in the same song! The rare, seldom heard Leng Tch'e (1992), released only in Japan and long out-of-print features Naked City in an agonizingly slow, brutal 32-minute assault. This special 20th anniversary edition brings all the music together on one CD, accompanied by a booklet complete with artwork, photos and essays old and new."

"After over ten years, Tzadik is finally releasing an exciting series of live recordings by one of the most unique and infamous bands ever: Naked City. Featuring Bill Frisell, Fred Frith, Wayne Horvitz and Joey Baron this was a true downtown supergroup brought together to realize John Zorn's twisted compositional vision combining jazz, movie soundtracks, rock, rhythm and blues, hardcore punk, cartoon music, country and western and just about everything imaginable -- often all in the same piece! This first volume is a beautifully recorded document of the band early on, performing live at the club that served as home base from their very first concert series in 1988 to their very last in 1993. Captured here performing the repertory of their legendary first recording many months before they entered the studio, this is Naked City at its gritty/fast changing best. New solos, wilder improvisations and some original compositions and covers that never appeared on disc make this an absolute must for all the Naked City fans around the world."

Naked City was: John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, Joey Baron, Yamataka Eye & Bob Dorough. "Probably Zorn's most popular and most controversial musical project, the music of Naked City has been debated, analyzed, adored and reviled by fans, critics and academics alike, but nothing can replace the experience of hearing it in all its frightening glory. Most people know this music from the single domestic release on Nonesuch, but the major portion of their studio recordings were issued from 1989-1993 on the hard-to-find Japanese labels Avant and Toy's Factory. This long awaited set pulls together all of their recorded output, all seven albums in beautiful new packaging, with a special 100-page scrapbook of Naked City ephemera, including photos, posters, designs, scores, musical sketches, written tributes by members of the Naked City family and pages from Zorn's original notebooks showing the development of the music that drove so many people out of their minds. Zorn's music at its most brutal and uncompromising best." Features the following seven albums in a 5CD box set: Naked City, Torture Garden, Grand Guignol, Leng Tch'e, Heretic, Radio and Absinthe. Packaged in a heavy duty box, this is one of the most spectacular Tzadik editions to date.
