THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION....need I say more?

Post by jamestkirk »

In my top 3 artists of all time. The reissue and commemorative release of Lumpy Gravy & We're Only In It For the Money is a MUST HAVE!

Lumpy Money



The Lumpy Money Project/Object is an album by Frank Zappa. The album commemorates the 40th anniversary of both Zappa's first solo album, Lumpy Gravy (originally planned to be released in late 1967, but not available until May 1968), and his 1968 record We're Only in It for the Money with The Mothers of Invention. It is a 3-CD set, and is official release #85 and second in the series of 40th anniversary of Frank Zappa Audio Documentaries (with MOFO released in December 2006 celebrating Freak Out! being the first).

"The present day composer refuses to die".....Edgar Varese I still have my original vinyl albums. I believe that great quote is inside both FREAL OUT! & Absolutely Free. I always regret not sending in for the Freak map of LA and the Libretto offered for free...just send a brown paper bag with a dollar inside.

For those who wish to see the full Libretto here it is...

They go for quite a bit now, but I wouldn't care about the value, just the memories! I figured it was a joke or I would have sent for them!!

Now I can print this and place it lovingly inside my gatefold album!
