Description

Mothers of Invention - Zappa - Mothermania - vinyl LP issued on VERVE SVLP 9239 in UK. For some reason POLYDOR have put a STANDARD 2352 017 sticker over the SVLP number on the reverse of the album. I don't know why they should have done that as this is definately the stereo album, and always has been (I have owned it from new - 40 years)

Mothermania (subtitled The Best of the Mothers) (1969) is a compilation album by The Mothers of Invention, led by Frank Zappa. It contains tracks, personally chosen by Zappa (it is the only Mothers compilation authorized by FZ), that were previously released on Freak Out!, Absolutely Free and We're Only in It for the Money. However, certain tracks on this release are in unique mixes or edits done specifically for this compilation.

 

Track listing

All songs by Frank Zappa.

Side one

1. "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" – 7:26
2. "Mother People" – 1:41
3. "Duke of Prunes" – 5:09
4. "Call Any Vegetable" – 4:31
5. "The Idiot Bastard Son" – 2:26

The track 'Call Any Vegetable' consists of the take from Absolutely Free, 'Soft-Sell Conclusion' from the same album, and some filling material. "The Idiot Bastard Son" is a very different version than the one on "We're Only in it for the Money".

5. "Hungry Freaks, Daddy" – 3:27
6. "America Drinks and Goes Home" – 2:43

'It Can't Happen Here' is a different edit than on the Freak Out! album; this version also appears on The MOFO Project/Object.
