NOTES:
This is believed to be one of the LP’s from the unreleased 12-LP Mothers box. This fake Bizarre boot LP is the best of all the bootlegged versions. It is not a mere knockoff of the earlier boot "Necessity Is…". It’s from a different source and far superior sounding. All bootlegs of this unreleased LP have the sides reversed for some reason. I have presented them here in the correct order. Side B is early Zappa material, which has mostly been released on "The Lost Episodes" (though it has been heavily processed there). Side A was recorded in 1968-69 and parts have been released on "Mystery Disc", "YCDTOSA 5", "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" (CD Version) and "Ahead of Their Time". Tracks 06, 13, 16, 18 are totally unreleased. A few other tracks are extended edits with more material than the official release. Most of Side B is mono…the rest is true stereo. I don’t think "Hey Nelda" is really a "bonus track" as it is listed on the Zappa Patio. I haven’t seen any proof of that. It is from the same source as the songs that preceed it…not as though someone dubbed it from vinyl and tacked it on.
