The Mothers Of Invention: We're Only In It For The Money (1968)


Has there ever been a better third LP?

This is one I have had for ages and one that is in sad need of an upgrade (thanks to a nasty scratch on side one). I actually grew up with the ‘80s remix and it took a while to digest the original but it’s total genius (and a thousand times better). The satire is utterly brutal, especially since it’s pretty relevant even today, and the band’s execution is spot-on. This album is right up there with Apostrophe, Hot Rats, and Waka/Jawaka as my favorite Zappa record.
