Zappa, Frank & The Mothers Of Invention: Weasels Ripped My Flesh (CD)

Released on August 10, 1970, Weasels Ripped My Flesh was the final album to feature the original line-up of The Mothers Of Invention, whom Frank Zappa had disbanded the previous year. It was compiled by Zappa from recordings made between 1967-69 and painstakingly edited into an original and vital album that showcases what the Mothers were capable of.

Perhaps the most diverse Mothers album of its time, Weasels... ranges from the avant excursion 'Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue' to the relatively tuneful 'Orange County Lumber Truck', from the onstage hi-jinks on 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask' to the social satire, a la We're Only in it for the Money, heard on 'Oh No'.
