Album Notes Full performer name: Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention.The Mothers Of Invention: Frank Zappa (vocals, guitar); Jim Pons (vocals, bass); Mark Volman, Howard Kaylan (vocals); Ian Underwood (alto saxophone); Don Preston (keyboards, electronics); Aynsley Dunbar (drums). Recorded live at the Fillmore East, New York, New York in June 1971.Digitally remastered by Bob Stone.This live record was recorded with the Flo & Eddie incarnation of the ever-changing Mothers line-up. The vocal duo, who had considerable chart success as the Turtles, parodied their success as "rock stars" here, and Zappa utilized their soul and doo-wop-style vocals for maximum comedic effect. The set works as a comedy record as much as anything else. They perform their huge hit "Happy Together," but it's done as a goof. Mostly what Flo & Eddie do (along with Zappa) is talk over a backbeat like standup comics. Listeners' enjoyment of the record will be directly proportional to their appreciation of funny but gross humor featuring creamed corn, donkeys, hemorrhoids, enchiladas wrapped in pickle sauce, and endless genitalia references.While there are some pieces from previous records ("Peaches En Regalia," and "Willie the Pimp" from HOT RATS) the centerpiece of the record is a loose narrative beginning with "The Mud Shark," a tale of an actual motel in Seattle where people would fish out the window. Though it could hardly be called a commercial record (even its cover is scrawled in pencil), for some bizarre reason, it made it to the Top 40. | |||||||||||||||||
