When I think of the Mothers period, I automatically think of that incredible opening riff of Hungry Freaks Daddy. One of the truly great opening guitar riffs in rock and roll history, and hardly ever mentioned. Simple but highly effective. In many ways that's always been my favorite Zappa song...and proof positive that you didn't have to be Bob Dylan to write the perfect protest song...

You get the impression Zappa recorded every note he ever played?

@ilabelle1 8 дней назад

It’s amazing that we hungry freaks are continually treated to the vault. I am so grateful to Joe Travers, Ahmet Zappa and the Family Trust for keeping Frank out there. May the well never run dry.

@HakanTunaMuzik 6 дней назад

the family trust was dissolved years ago and all the rights were sold to universal, Ahmet and Joe are still in charge of the releases though

Great to get some fresh Zappa 50+ years later. Brilliant.

As a side note: Today (18th) is McCartney's 82nd birthday, and Friday (21st) will be Ray Davies's 80th. Best wishes to both.

I never became a serious fan of Zappa and his array - only because I didn't have the time to approach and understand what he was doing. The videos of the performances already uploaded piece meal on YT grabbed my attention in the last week. I decided to approach FZ's work from the beginning in the hope that there are still artists from that era who I can add to the universe of music I can love. So far, I'm getting sucked into the great music on these discs (from the videos), and loving the onstage antics of the GTOs, who I knew of, but never had any notion of exactly what that's all about. Speaking of GTOs, it's going to be interesting to read those extensive liner notes from Pamela De Barres - the most notorious groupie of those times, and she's a good writer!

Artie Tripp will be the guest on the Zappacast that's coming out any day.

I've ordered the 5-LP set and look forward to hearing it. The only bitter part of these early recordings is knowing that Roy Estrada ultimately got jailed for multiple crimes against children. It's amazing music, but Estrada's involvement tarnishes things.

Wish I could've been at the Whisky that night, just turned 15. I played We're Only In It For The Money so many times on the family stereo my mom knew all the lyrics. Only in recent years have I learned the entire album is sped up, and that it's Eric Clapton saying "Are you hung up" in the first moments of side one.

Octandre is an Edgar Varese tune (I don't know what they did with it, I wonder if it's a real cover, knowing that FZ had lots of respect for his #1 idol

@mattgregory971 7 дней назад

I pre order it! Looking forward to it. It was a planed live album. Like all shows Frank recorded them and used them for later releases

@grahamnunn8998 7 дней назад

Ordered via your link. I think a few tracks have come out before but great to hear the whole thing.

@billofbton4502 7 дней назад

Somehow in the onslaught of all the Zappa releases over the years this particular period has been underrepresented, especially live. Looking forward to hearing it.

@ericbgordon1575 6 дней назад

Cool enough. The release date for this edition is what the membership in the 70s Prog group on Facebook would call "Frank Friday".

@FlyJohnny100 8 дней назад

Nice preview. Will def pick this up...wish it had Any Way the Wind Blows, given this version of Mothers. Still, if it's half as good as Live at the Roxy from a fews years later, it'll be worth it.

@paulayers1111 6 дней назад

I know a couple of tracks were previously released like on the You Can’t So That On Stage Anymore series. I know more than one song but the only one I can name right now is “meow”. I think “Godbless America” was also on Uncle Meat

@alancumming6407 3 дня назад

Oh No. More live stuff. Surely there must be something in that huge vault that we haven't heard before, and I don't mean another version of the band or other live versions of some songs.

@BillyBanter100 7 дней назад

I'm sure the music is great. But the packaging is lackluster at best. Compare it to the 3some sets, Greasy Love Songs, Meat Light and the Lumpy Money CD releases and you'll see what I mean.

@thomasroth4533 6 дней назад

Can you think of any artist or band who made at least 5 albums and never did a bad song? There must be more but I can only think of two and they are Steely Dan and Pat Metheny. As always it's a matter of taste. Thanks for this Zappa/Mothers review, it's a must.

@billyz5088 7 дней назад

FZ came to despise the "rudimentary musicianship" of his bands in the 60's and into the early 70's - not that his late 60's stuff is bad - its mostly amazing - but by the late 70's to get past Frank at audition time you had to be able to play pieces that most players regarded as "impossible to play" ..

Love Frank, but there's so much great material from later line ups begging to be released - the focus on the original line up does no one any favours. And agreed, the ZFT is a money making scam. The price of that Eerie set and those stupid Halloween costume boxes was an utter disgrace

@philipjjacobs 7 дней назад

More early stuff please, they were my favourites, amazing to hear live.

@DoctorSmurfo 7 дней назад

Two years ago the ZFT sold off all the publishing rights, estate, catalog, name & unmistakable likeness of Zappa to Universal Music Group.

@billofbton4502 7 дней назад

@@DoctorSmurfo Yeah you're right but I've always wondered about that. Do the Zappa children still have input into these releases? I think they must because greedy Ahmet Zappa seems to insert himself into everything. He's in the liner notes of this album interviewing Alice Cooper.

@nadabrahmamedia731 7 дней назад

the last release focusing on the original mothers was twelve years ago… and since gail’s death, ahmet has produced over twenty vault releases… three of them had halloween costumes and one had a board game… the last of these four came out four years ago (halloween ‘81), and there have now been ten releases since then… in other words, over 80% of the releases that bear ahmet’s name as producer contain only music and liner notes/photos… it’s a tired, spurious notion that’s been blown way out of proportion… as for the cost, everything’s more expensive these days… that’s capitalism in action…
