Zappa and the Mothers of an Intervention

Now I go back to the Article I was start to wright some time ago before I have read all this scary battle against the world !

If you like Frank Zappa Music For sure you will not read nothing new about F.Zappa but you will read my personal opinion about some of the best Zappa records .

Yes, I will need a collection of lenses to make that but I go to restrict the review to the official albums I found more relevant for Zappa career.

Harry ,are you kidding !?
No, I am not kidding...
I didn't collect FZ Records Just because I like, I collected because wish album is different , its always some thing new and funny in all of them.

I am a Frank Zappa collector for many years and Zappa is one of the Artists ,I can Talk about for a day. (That is just because I don't like to annoy people)

Frank Zappa big music Idol was Edgar Varence. From this connection Zappa found the love for Orchestral music and he did start to work in the idea early, showing some works like, Lumpy Gravy, 200 Motels,grandwazoo, orchestral favorites and others.

200 Motels was a movie release from the 70s, where zappa get the London Philharmonic Orchestra together and give hem the most strange pieces of music this musicians never see or played before.
Not only, Zappa did the same with brilliant musicians like Ian Underwood Or George duck, where Zappa teach hem a completely different way to play music from the one they been teach in University where they come with Music Graduation diploma.
(please don't smoke you diploma!)

Zappa was a musical and Ideological Anarchist capable to laugh of Himself and others.

Musically connected and cooperating with some artist names like Captain beefheart, Jan Luck Ponty, John Lenon, Sting and others, Zappa always get the projects on his own way.

Zappa and beefheart are school friends and they did record some Albums together but the problem is that, 2 Heroes in the same band never get nowhere, so, after try some cooperation with beefheart things settle as,
Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention and
Captain beefheart and His Magic Band.
If this smells like a replica ... is not !
But... "Trout Mask Replica" (beefheart album with collaboration of Zappa, it was !)

Just to don't make bad neighbors, beefheart record 2 albums in collaboration with Zappa:
"Hot Rats" and "Bongo Fury" (a Part from bootlegs and early recordings in studio Z)

Both brilliant musicians but different music Styles !
beefheart Play simply music with the *Don't care style*
while Zappa was making the perfection and no regression Music style in the most Humor way.

Other of the participations in recording studio and live performance was Jean Luck Ponty. This connection just get wrong with ponty when'd Zappa produce and record the tracks for "King Kong" album and later Zappa found this record come out as "Jan Luck Ponty Plays Music Of Frank Zappa", album Named "King Kong"
Zappa did all the music production and arrangements for this album and didn't like to see his work come out as "jean luc ponty Plays Zappa" here where it starts the battle with Artist and the record label .
(This sucks, but is not just this, warnerbros sucks too !!)

When'd a Man know what he wants things can go complicated for the ones who think they can do what they like.
The case start with "warnerbros" and Vervet" on "Freak Out" album. (First concept disc in market)
Voices in album was understandable some parts are cut. All this was extended to the second album of the Mothers"Absolutely free"

Some interception lyrics was kicking ideology and ways of life and Zappa start to have problems with Major record labels because the bad mastering work and music transformation that happen, wild Zappa was not around at the studio, showing the final work to the Artist at the time the album was out in the market.

All this was making Zappa furious ,so he decide to move to other record labels and later create his own record label and make the things on his own way.
"The Muffin Research Kitchen"

Is 3 kind of answers I listen people say, when'd I ask:
Do you know Frank Zappa Music ?

Answer:
1- I hate it !
2- I love it
3- Yes, I listen one time. FF Crazy sounds!

Zappa, you love , you hate or you just don't know !

Zappa was a music genius.
Some one capable to make things with music ,that no one did.
It was a satiric Lyrical but when'd he "shut up and play guitar"
its another Story.

I personally never like to listen zappa play guitar. Too much technic ,that didn't go well with most part of his works but I respect point of view and I admit, he was a good guitar players (but not my style).

Zappa did all music styles and some more....
Looking for the all collection I have on my side, I would like to put Frank Zappa music in the right place, for the knowledge listeners and for the Frank Zappa unknown listeners.

Try to have all Zappa records in categories is not a easy job because some albums can have a mixture of tracks / styles.
So I will generalize...
(I will try don't repeat albums in categories)

* ROCK
We can call almost all the records as Rock.Zappa roots come from Blues/Jazzy and Orchestra but the first big steps was with Mothers of Invention.

1- Freak Out! (2LP, Verve/MGM V/V6-5005-2, June 27, 1966)
1966 USA
Freak Out was the first concept album in the music market.
At the time when'd everything is wonderful on people have the sense of power Zappa come out with some strange lyrics for the time:
(Freak out Lyrics)

Mister America
Walk on by
Your schools that do not teach
Mister America
Walk on by
The minds that won't be reached
Mister America
Try to hide
The emptiness that's you inside.

Listen this in 1966 was a kind of a kick for some people.
The main youth music power at that moment was beach boys or Beatles singing love ,love me do, you know I love you !

kicking the mentality of the young consume generation can be a clever way but to refresh the mood we can find tracks like
"Wowie Zowie"
(Wowie Zowie Lyrics)

Wowie Zowie
Your love's a treat
Wowie Zowie
You can't be beat
Wowie Zowie, baby
You're so neat
I don't even care
If you shave your legs

To don't leave the things in insurable place, Zappa use one all side of the double album to Make a Track call "Sussy Creamchees"
wish is a psychedelic madness in all the rights !
You probably wander why I am here... So Am I, and so am I !

2- Absolutely Free (LP, Verve V/V6-5013, June 26, 1967)
This album from 67 start like this...
Fella Americans . . .
DOOT, DOOT, DOOT . . . DOOT . . .
He's been sick.
DOO-OO-OOT . . . DOOT! DOOT!
(Teet-Teet . . . Teet-Teet . . . Teet-Teet . . . Teet-Teet-Teet)
And I think his wife is gonna bring him some chicken soup.
DOOT, DOOT (Teet-Teet)
Plastic People.
More on this album deserving a comment.

3- We're Only In It For The Money March 1968
By the Artist point of view in 68 (flower power boom) the Woodstock was just the youth first experience of freedom out of the family control freaks of the meddle class.
For this reason Zappa refuse to play in Woodstock.
Many controversy come from this time about Zappa.
Who are this freaks that say"Flower power sucks !" ???
This is the time of the Hippy's, piece, Love, harmony, Levitation, Spirituality... Bullocks !
What is this thing of Freaks about !!??
They are not what everyone is "you are what you is"
They are the reality check of the Dream "society pages" and better,
they have a laugh of all of that.
For that same reason Zappa and Mother are hated or Loved.
But I don't want run for politics (Even know that Zappa run to be president of Nicaragua one day)
We're Only In It For The Money cover is the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" from the Beatles album but this time with mothers dress like house keepers and in the floor you can read design by vegetables "We're Only In It For The Money"
I have to say, this is one of my favorite Zappa Records.
I will name some tracks...
*What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body?
*Absolutely Free
*Let's Make The Water Turn Black
*Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
*Harry, You're A Beast

4- Chunga's Revenge (LP, Bizarre/Reprise MS 2030, October 23, 1970)
Pre- 200 Motels.
The love for Orchestra never have been a secret in Zappa musicology but this one was a pre-made ... if I can call the intro for the movie 200 Motels.
After that, I point some delicious tracks:
*tell me you love me" .

5- Fillmore East -- June 1971 (LP, Bizarre/Reprise MS 2042, August 2, 1971)
From the same batch of Artists and Tracks (if I can call the best Mothers of Invention Formation) The theatrical humor and hilarious sketch are present and announce the Movie. At this time Zappa have the collaboration of "Flo and Eddy" a Duo that made a big difference in the sound of Mothers and in all the work Zappa was planing to do.
Note for the story of
*The Mud Shark
and
*Do You Like My New Car?
*Peaches En Regalia

6- Just Another Band From L.A. (LP, Bizarre/Reprise MS 2075, March 26, 1972)
And another one under the same line. Flo and Eddy still active and the comedy can go on and on and on and on and on and ooon, with this duo making what Zappa was looking for so long , a good pair of Animation voices.
Band on his best and another live album from 72.
Here "Billy the mountain" come in action. One side album with a on stage story about a Mountain and his small wooden wife.
(Billy the Mountain start Lyrics)

BILLY was a mountain
ETHELL was a tree
Growing off of his shoulder.

The maxim satiric Musical comedy can be found in:
* Magdalena

and a always Hilarious to listen:
*Call Any Vegetable
(Call Any Vegetable Lyrics)

Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream
Of responding to you
Standing there
Shiny & proud by your side
Holding your hand
While the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable
Something to hide?

Over-Nite Sensation / Apostrophe / One Size Fits All
3 albums Here the things start to change and music start to take a shape of "Normal" Rock.

7- Over-Nite Sensation (LP, DiscReet MS 2149, September 7, 1973)
Here I think is when'd Zappa just decide to stop to be the funny Hilarious and go into the serious mood.
Serious rock album and if not the best, is one of the best in Zappa Career.
Tracks are in my preference:
*Durty Love
*Dinah Moe Hum
*Montana
*I'm The Slime

8- Apostrophe (') (LP, DiscReet DS 2175, March 22, 1974)
In my favorites shelf as they should be in a box set.
The second one of this trilogy is apostrophe.
Excellent rhythms and genius orchestrations with nice guitar solos. Apostrophe is a must.
*Father O'Blivion
*St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
*Stink-Foot
*Nanook Rubs It
*Don't Eat The Yellow Snow

9- One Size Fits All (LP, DiscReet DS 2216, June 25, 1975)
and the last of the trilogy, the "one size fits all"album.
This album particularity is the instrumental.
Favorites here are:
*Can't Afford No Shoes
*Sofa No. 1
*Po-Jama People
*Florentine Pogen
*Evelyn, A Modified Dog

10- Roxy & Elsewhere (2LP, 2LP, DiscReet 2DS 2202, September 10, 1974)

My First album of Zappa ! I been grow listen Pink Floyd ,Gentle Giant,Emerson Lake and Palmer, la la la ,la la la
but one day ,on my 15 years old, I visit a fried house .
In that day, I found this strange album in the music collection of his dad "Zappa Mothers Roxy & Elsewhere".
As any teenager, what call my attention was the fact that in this album cover, was a women on his nee getting her hands somewhere in the guitar player trousers !!
I found that surreal and I ask my friends dad if I cud take the album to listen at home.
After I listen this record ,I really understand the meaning of music.
I recommend AND IF IS NEED IN BIG LETTERS:
listen on
*Echidna's Arf (Of You)

I didn't think was possible Humans to do some amazing music live
on stage with no mistakes or wrong sound. That is amazing !
In this album are other brilliant tracks but I will comment just that one for now.
If you know music or if you are a musician ... listen that !

11- Bongo Fury (LP, DiscReet DS 2234, October 2, 1975)
Zappa VS beefheart.
They really try hard but looks like mix friendship with Business didn't make much of a good deal for both.
I recommend from this album:
*Carolina hard-core ecstasy
(Carolina hard-core ecstasy Lyrics)

She put a Doobie Brothers tape on
(lalalalalaa la)
I had a Roger Daltrey cape on
(a Roger Daltrey cape on)
There was a bed I dumped her shape on
Can't remember what became of me
Carolina hard-core ecstasy.

Or... the Torment story of:
*The muffin Man"

(The muffin Man Lyrics)

SOME PEOPLE LIKE CUPCAKES EXCLUSIVELY, WHILE MYSELF, I SAY
THERE IS NAUGHT NOR OUGHT THERE BE NOTHING SO EXALTED ON THE FACE OF GOD'S GREY
EARTH AS THAT PRINCE OF FOODS... THE MUFFIN!"
Girl you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didn't know nuthin'

(Talking about Muffin Man, Jimmy Carl Black - ex Mothers- Have a band name _Muffin Man_ . I see hem live and they play Zappa covers. I recommend)

12- Zoot Allures (LP, Warner Bros. BS 2970, October 29, 1976)
Some Tracks of this album come out almost as an hino.
At this time Zappa divorced from the mothers and get a band of new musicians.
All the musicians from this band later start a band name
(missing person)

*The torture never stop
*Ms Pinky
*Zoot Allures
*Find her finer

13- Zappa In New York (2LP, DiscReet 2D 2290, March 13, 1978)
That was a Rock concert ! If you have this double vinyl with the Track "punky's Whips" Then you have a rare one !
14- Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch (LP, Barking Pumpkin FW 38066, May 3, 1982)
I like this one a lot but the sound quality didn't amaze me! Special love for "teenage Prostitute" Its a real Opera rock.

15- The Man From Utopia (LP, Barking Pumpkin FW 38403, March 28, 1983)
I have a digital re-master of this album. Brilliant sound . Delicious Tracks to comment, maybe "sex" or "Marilu"

Between the Past and the Future is the Present... arf she say !

Can compare this one with Waka/Jawaka, Very Jazzy.

And then, was light ! Do you have this one ?

*HILARIOUS
Hilarious they are all but some more then others...
Not just a lyric satiric ,Zappa is a satiric musician and made pretty good versions of Tracks like : stairs way to heaven, Ring of fire, purple haze, bolero Ravel and so many others.
This is the albums I advise any one as a Intro of Frank Zappa music.

I found this a Smothhhh Album.

11- Does Humor Belong In Music? (CD, EMI CDP 7 46188 2, UK, January 27, 1986)
What you think ? The album is good and is a brilliant intro for any new Zappa listener. The video is not recommend for any new Zappa listener till you have absolute conscience of the Satiric joke of all the show ! Its sooo modern !

Another Guitar album . och

*ORCHESTRAL
Diversification, its the secret word for this list !
Was a time when'd Zappa played with rock Jazzy musicians and did the most amazing music. Later, Zappa go into Orchestral at serious scale. Sooo... Diversification, is the secret Word for the albums choose in this list. Some are my favorite orchestral, some don't .

1-The Grand Wazoo (LP, Bizarre/Reprise MS 2093, November 27, 1972)
Grand wazoo was a orchestra VS band made for a tour.
I belive this was one of the dreams of Zappa. Turn the backs for the public and conduct an Ensemble of brilliant musicians. This album is a mixture of Orchestra and jazz.. Brilliant, brilliant.

2- Orchestral Favorites (LP, DiscReet DSK 2294, May 4, 1979)
Picking some of the instrumentals and make an album with more Orchestra. Good Job for people who appreciate Orchestra, opus , opus , opus.

London Symphony Orchestra Vol. I June 1983
3- Boulez conducts Zappa: The Perfect Stranger August 1984
Guest what !!

4- Francesco Zappa (LP, Barking Pumpkin ST-74202, November 21, 1984)

I like the cover on this one. Dont need to have it just for that reason... e ne ?

6- Ahead Of Their Time (CD, Barking Pumpkin D2 74246, April 20, 1993)
Waky packy do ! This one I like .
Its a stage performance from Mothers of Invention.
An Orchestral comedy.
Some video of this concert but I don't know if its all complete. Listen "Agency man"

7- The Yellow Shark (November 1993)
More Orchestral Ensembles. Its a good one, I have to say. Depending of the mood.

*RARITIES
Some are real rarities but in this case is just the ones coming out for collectors from "The Family Trust"
Some of the records collectors like to have... Just because !

1- The Lost Episodes (CD, Rykodisc RCD 40573, February 27, 1996)
rarities from studio Z and other first bands where Zappa played.

2- Läther (3CD, Rykodisc RCD 10574/76, September 24, 1996)
Long story about this one but I recommend you to listen, not the story but the Album.

3- Mystery Disc September 1998
This makes part of a 10 vinyl box set. Its kind of a compilation from the box. Good works.

Much more rarities are avaiable and as you can see, on ebay things can go pretty mad with prices of Zappa Rare vinyl or limited cd editions.

*STORIES
Many Stories are spread in albums, others in a all release. I go to name some albums with peculiar stories.
Maybe I will re-list some albums on this list ,I listed before in other categories but Some of this stories are in just one side of the album.

1- Frank Zappa's 200 Motels (October 1971)

And the story is great.
Jesus Harry, what tha f* is going on here !?

*COMPILATIONS

Since Zappa die, I lost my interest for all the music come out from the FZFT but I know they still have some good material and they pretend to keep that till last Christmas in the planet Earth !
Anyway the wind blows !
Compilations was never my cup of tea (I love this expression but I dont drink tea) but this compilations here have a special contente made direct for collectores.
Its a 6 double cds with live and studio rarityes that zappa made befoure he die.
Respect , and I have it all.

7- Have I Offended Someone? (CD, Rykodisc RCD 10577, April 8, 1997)

Frank Zappa is a music Universe and maybe I have fail to compile the entire collection here but is a big list to go on and I am not including booklets.

*FAVORITES

Zappa was one of the most pirated music artists in the market. more then Beatles, Led Zeppelin or any other.

Favorites... Again !
From all the albums ,ones are more then others but I like to resume the collection to the last moment, for this reason I will say :

"The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life"
This is a double live of Zappa and as the title say, its true.
Hilarious comedy and musically perfect.
(If I can call the resume of zappa carrier!?)

Why ?

The second Favorite is:

"Make A Jazz Noise Here"
Again ,this is a double cd live from almost the same time of the "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life".

Make A Jazz Noise Here is a jazz orchestral live and is where the serious part of the stories was released.

To me, this are the 2 crystal pearls in any Rock collection.
and more...

"Zappa/ Mothers Roxy elsewhere"

This is a double live album with the best music players from Mothers of Invention.
Really serious instrumental. I say, Genius.

But I am not the only one listen and collecting Zappa music, more people do.
The difference between me and a real collector is that I just have what I like and I sold what I didn't like.
Simple as that !

I say:
I have Hot Rats, You have Bongo Fury. Is that vinyl ?
Ok, we can make an exchange. What you say ?

Sussy Creamchees, my dear, my dolling...
Let get into comments!
