Frank Zappa’s groundbreaking 1968 album We’re Only In It For The Money:  a bold, satirical, psych-rock classic from The Mothers of Invention. Issued on Verve Records (V6-5045), this LP is a cornerstone of experimental rock, famously parodying ’60s counterculture while pushing production boundaries.

This edition features the blue Verve label and Zappa’s original sequencing, with all songs composed and arranged by Frank Zappa.

  • Produced, arranged, and conducted by Frank Zappa

  • Highly influential psychedelic/avant-garde rock album
