Notes

Official Release #3

Initially recorded by Zappa for Capitol in 1967, as a solo composer & conductor outside of 'The Mothers'. The project made it to disc as MGM vetoed the work, resulting in FZ reworking the release for Verve - the label to whom, it was claimed, he was contracted. Some rare Capitol issues on 4-track tape exist. The reworking was released on Verve in 1968. FZ remastered the work in 1985 & 1993.

Zappa comments on the sleeve notes: "Is this Phase 2 of We're Only In It For The Money?" - which echoes his vision on that work, where he comments; "Is this Phase I of 'Lumpy Gravy'?". This "Lumpy Gravy" work contains conversations 'within a piano'.

Themes (& material) in this work can then be picked up in the work Zappa completed before his death: Civilization Phaze III
