The fifth Mothers album is this cobbled-together collection of outtakes and stitched-up scraps, issued after the original band split, organized into a super solid set that is both totally original and yet unmistakably The Mothers. “Little House I Used To Live In” is epic, and “Holiday In Berlin” is a classic as well. As with so many Zappa albums, you can savor the tracks on their own but this is definitely best taken as a whole.
I’ve owned this on CD for decades but I’m not sure I ever dug too deeply into it. This is the third of seven Zappa titles that I snagged from Dig! yesterday, in Leesburg VA, and I am very glad to add this one and better connect with it.
