Hour One
And Now for The Particulars:
1. Mothers Of Invention: The Way I See It Barry (Frank Zappa)
Lumpy Gravy: Verve Records – V6-8741
Los Angeles CA
Francis Vincent Zappa: voice
Produced by Nick Venet – 1967Frank Vincent Zappa (b. Baltimore MD, December 21, 1940 – d. Los Angeles, December 4, 1993)
In 1965, Ray Collins asked Zappa to take over as guitarist in local R&B band the Soul Giants, following a fight between Collins and the group's original guitarist. Zappa accepted, and soon assumed leadership and the role as co-lead singer. He convinced the other members that they should play his music to increase the chances of getting a record contract. The band was renamed the Mothers, coincidentally on Mother's Day. Through producer Tom Wilson (Simon & Garfunkel) they got a recording contract with Verve Records. Verve insisted that the band officially rename themselves the Mothers of Invention. Their first album, Freak Out! was only the second double LP of pop music (Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde was the first). Their 2nd album, Absolutely Free, was quite different in that Zappa used it as a vehicle to heap scorn on American hippocracy. As Zappa put it, "We're satirists, and we are out to satirize everything." In it he takes on Plastic People, pop music, sex and politics among other things.
2. Frank Zappa: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance (Frank Zappa)
The Lost Episodes: Rykodisc RCD 40573
Los Angeles CA
Frank Zappa: guitar
Chuck Grove: drums
Caronga Ward: bass
Tony Rodriguez: alto sax
Chuck Foster: trumpet
Danny Helferin: piano
Produced by Frank Zappa – 1961
Recorded by Paul Buff at Buff Studios, CucamongaThis is the first of 3 different versions of the song Zappa recorded. He used hired jazz musicians. At the time, Zappa was playing in a jazz band, playing cocktail lounges performing standard jazz tunes and going crazy. The band was called Joe Perrino and The Mellotones. The owner of Pal Records and studio, Paul Buff, sold his lease to young Frank who got totally absorbed into production, renaming the place Studio Z. Police were skeptical about the place and sent an undercover cop in to commission a party tape which Zappa was able to provide (coz he was starving). The tape contained women having orgasms although there were no actual sex acts happening. But Zappa got busted for conspiracy to manufacture pornographic material and suspicion of sex perversion and spent ten days in jail and Studio Z was closed down. Frank later used the orgasm tape behind the last song on The Mothers’ second album, Absolutely Free, in a song called America Drinks And Goes Home, probably a satirical homage to Joe Perrino and The Mellotones.
His brief imprisonment left a permanent mark, and was central to the formation of his anti-authoritarian stance. Zappa lost several recordings made at Studio Z in the process, as the police only returned 30 out of 80 hours of tape seized. Eventually, he could no longer afford to pay the rent on the studio and was evicted. Zappa managed to recover some of his possessions before the studio was torn down in 1966.

Produced by Frank Zappa 1968
Executive producer: Tom Wilson
Engineers: Gary Kellgren, Dick Kunc
Remixing: Dick Kunc
Editing: Dick Kunc, Frank ZappaThe Mothers’ 3rd album was Zappa’s most ambitious yet, producing it himself, mutilating tapes, using nasal noises and doing things in the studio that perhaps only George Martin and The Beatles had figured out, and quite possibly more. The album was a sarcastic take on Sgt Pepper. Everything, from it’s cover to it’s last piano note was used to poke fun as the antithesis of Sgt. Pepper. Basically recorded at the same time as Zappa’s first solo album, Lumpy Gravy, he mixed the two from some of the same sessions. Zappa asks on the cover: “Is this phase one of Lumpy Gravy?” while on the Lumpy Gravy cover he asks: “Is this phase two of We’re Only In It For The Money?”
While the Beatles wrote Sgt Pepper in the psychedelic days of flower power, Zappa wrote his songs to take flower power apart (while still bashing the cops and what he considered “Neo-nazi” American politics). He claimed that hippies were mostly stupid which angered a lot of them. Zappa didn’t like pot smoking or drug taking and thought that hippies were just rediculous fish who followed cultural trends and did nothing positive for themselves or others. Hey Punk typifies what he means.

Los Angeles CA
Francis Vincent Zappa: conductor
Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra
Produced by Nick Venet – 1967This is from the Lumpy Gravy album, quite different from the 1961 jazz take and still an instrumental.
15. West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band: Help, I’m A Rock (Frank Zappa)
Part One: Reprise Records Germany REP 54 108
Los Angeles CA
Bob Markley (vocals)
Shaun Harris (bass)
Danny Harris (guitar, vocals)
Michael Lloyd (guitar, vocals)
Ron Morgan (guitar)
John Ware (Drums)
Produced by Bob Markley and Jimmy Bowen - 1967

16. Lord Buckley: The Train (Richard Buckley)
A Most Immaculately Hip Aristocrat: Straight Records - STS-1054
New York City, NY
Richard Buckley: monologue
Produced and Edited by Frank Zappa – 1969
Recorded by Lyle Griffin - 1956Zappa loved jazz and off-beat poets, people who had original ideas and thoughts. His love of composer Edgard
Varese was well known as Zappa often mis-quoted the composer on the covers of various albums: “The present day composer refuses to die." Lord Buckley (April 5, 1906 - November 12, 1960) was a vaudevillian comedian who was known for his wacky monologues, some of which made it to disc. He was the Lord of the beatnik club scene and is quoted widely by many influential artists, from Bob Dylan to Joan Baez on down. Zappa seized the opportunity to release some as yet unreleased material on his own, brand new Straight Records label. Other label mates of Buckley’s were Alice Cooper, The GTOs, Captain Beefheart and Wild Man Fischer. The recordings Frank used on Hip Aristocrat were probably recorded in 1956, most likely in an apartment. Someone (maybe one of Buckley’s wives) asks him: “Do you want the fan on?” These recordings are Lord Buckley at his very best.
17. Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa: Tiger Roach (Don Van Vliet / Frank Zappa)
The Lost Episodes: Rykodisc RCD 40573
Los Angeles CA
Don Van Vliet: vocals
Frank Zappa: guitar
Janschi: bass
Vic Mortenson: drums
Produced by Frank Zappa 1963
Recorded at Studio Z by Frank Zappa, Cucamonga CA
Mixed by Bob Stone and Spencer Chrislu at Utility Muffin Research KitchenZappa and Beefheart were friends since high school. They shared an interest in blues records. Beefheart was especially fond of Howlin' Wolf, with whose raspy and powerful voice he is often compared. Zappa and Beefheart recorded a few songs together in those early years and also in Studio Z in Cucamonga. After Zappa had founded The Mothers, Vliet started his own band ‘The Magic Band’. After recording a couple of non-descript albums, Zappa offered Vliet total artistic freedom on the Zappa produced ‘Trout Mask Replica’, a double album issued on Straight. A double album, it contains some of the best ‘way out there’ jazz recordings of Beefheart’s career.
Tiger Roach was basically just Beefheart rapping to the band. It didn’t really have a theme or a title, but Zappa used the last words Beefheart said for the track’s title.
18. Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band: The Blimp (Don Van Vliet)
19. Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band: Steal Softly Thru Snow (Don Van Vliet)

20. Wild Man Fischer: Circle (Larry's first psychedelic hit) (Larry Fischer / Frank Zappa)
An Evening With Wild Man Fisher: Bizarre Records / Reprise 6332
Los Angeles CA
Larry Fisher: vocals, guitar sounds
Frank Zappa: all instruments
Produced by Frank Zappa - 1968
Recorded by Jerry Hansen at Sunset Sound Studios, LALarry Wayne Fischer (b. Los Angeles November 6, 1944 – d. June 16, 2011 age 65 in LA)
Another Zappa produced double album that was issued on Zappa’s earlier imprint, Bizarre Records (issued by Reprise) was this one. Fischer was institutionalized at age 16 for attacking his mother with a knife. He was later diagnosed with two mental disorders, severe paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Following his escape from the hospital, Fischer hung around Sunset Strip singing his songs, a cappella, for a dime. Discovered on the street by Frank Zappa, Fischer became an underground concert favorite. Some of the songs on the album were actually recorded live, on the streets. It’s an amazing look into the mind of this confused, unstable yet passioned songwriter.

Here’s the third take of the song, this time with lyrics.
Hour Two
1. Brian Blain: Don’t Forget Your Mother (Brian Blain) 1972 *
Unreleased
Toronto ON
Brian Blain: guitar, vocals
Tom ‘Bones’ Malone: bass, horns
Jim Gordon: drums
John Lissauer: keys, music director
Montreal Symphony Strings: strings
Otto Armin: concert master
Laurel Mass, Janis Siegel, Sue Lothrop, Beverley Glenn Copeland: bg vocals
Boys Choir from Montreal private school: choir vocals
Mandolin: unknown
Produced by André Perry and Frazier Mohawk – 1972
Recorded by Nick Blagona in MontrealBrian Blain actually got to record with members of the Mothers Of Invention.
“Hey Steve, thanks for giving "Mother" a spin - You know it was never released but it did make it to vinyl (a test-pressing). There was a dispute over my contract with Good Noise (about money, of course) and they never put it out - though they did release the B-Side, Story of the Magic Pick.”Here’s what Brian had to say on his blog: https://www.reverbnation.com/brianblain/song/8505972-dont-forget-your-mother-1973
“First we did a demo with a lot of local players including Sue (Lothrop), Ronney Abramson, Ron Dann and many others. Then for the "real" recording, he (André Perry) brought in John Lissauer as music director, Laurel Masse and Jance Siegel from Manhattan Transfer for vocals, and top-session players like Tom "Bones" Malone (later of Blues Brothers fame and much more) on (bass and) horns and Jim Gordon on drums. At the time Malone and Gordon were part of Frank Zappa's Mothers so André was seeing this as a great "tie-in" - The Mothers recording "Don't Forget Your Mother". The Mothers were performing at the Montreal Forum as part of their "Petit Wazoo" tour and most of the other members of the band came to the studio - some played and some just hung out, but try as they might, they couldn't get Zappa himself to participate. I believe the quote was "Frank doesn't help other people make their rock and roll records".”
Producer André Perry was the guy who got to record Give Peace A Chance at a Montreal hotel.
2. Horn: Pony Buns (Bruce Burron / Gary Hynes / David deLaunay)

Gary Hynes, guitar
Alan Duffy, bass
David deLaunay, keys
Wayne Jackson, trumpet
Billy Bryans, drums
Produced by Alan Duffy, Billy Bryans and Horn - 1972
Recorded and mixed by Brock Fricker at Thunder Sound Studios, TorontoThis track by this very experimental jazz oriented rock band is a typical example of new music created in the spirit of Frank Zappa. Very uncomercial and yet artistic; uncompromising, it’s not too difficult to see why they only got to make one album. One of those artistic successes that very few people buy.
3. Raôul Duguay: El Hsarrrk (Raoul Duguay)

Produced by Marcellô De Lambre, André Angelini and Raôul Duguay 1976
Recorded by Michel EthierBorn: February 13, 1939 (age 77), Val-d'Or QC has been an active performer since 1966.
He was considered to be like the Frank Zappa of Quebec. He spelled his words with circumflexes and umlauts where none should exist; used weird spelllings and effeccccts; blended traditional forms of turlotte in with experimental jazz in complicated arrrrangementtts.
He met Walter Boudreau in 1967, and the two artists formed L'Infonie shortly thereafter. This project was intended both as a music group and a new approach to collective improvisation; Duguay published its manifesto in 1970. The group released a number of albums on the avant-garde side of Quebec's progressive rock and jazz-rock scenes before dissolving in 1973. A sovereignist, he described Canada as a father who "never gave mother [Quebec] an orgasm." He went on to release 13 solo albums and several books of poetry.
4. Michal Hasek: Kick In The Ass (Michal Hasek)

5. Pied Pear: No. 5 Orange (Joe Mock)
Pied Pear: Squash Records SQ1-965-A
Vancouver BC
Richard Scott: vocals, dulcimer
Joseph Mock: guitars, piano, vocals
Shari Ulrich: vocals, violin
Claire Lawrence: sax
Robbie King: organ
Rene Worst: bass
Geoff Eyre: drums
Produced by The Pied Pear - 1980
Recorded by Mark McNair and Paul MacDonald at Pinewood Recording Studios, VancouverRoots duo PIED PEAR, Rick Scott and Joe Mock, rode into town for a once in a lifetime tour. Scott and Mock pioneered indie roots music 1974 -76 with Shari Ulrich in the trio Pied Pumkin. When Shari joined the Hometown Band, the Pumkin became PIED PEAR. From 1976-1982 Rick and Joe toured far and wide playing concerts, dances and festivals. They represented Canada at the Knoxville Worlds fair. They released three albums.
Their wry sense of humour is evident throughout their recordings. An unothodox style that has obviously been influenced by Zappa.
6. The Turtles: Rugs Of Wood And Flowers (Howard Kaylan / Al Nichol)
Happy Together: White Whale Records V 1801
Los Angeles CA
Howard Kaylan: vocal
Al Nichol: lead guitar, vocal
Jim Tucker: rhythm guitar
Mark Volman: special effects, vocal
John Barbata: drums
Jim Pons: bass, vocal
Produced by Joe Wissert 1967
Recorded at Sunset Sound, Hollywood by Bruce Botnick; Sound Recorders, Hollywood by Armin SteinerYou must know that two of the Turtles went onto to sing in the Mothers Of Invention, right? Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan took on the Zappa-esque names The Florescent Leach and Eddy. Reason being: they were not allowed to use the name Turtles or their original names due to a contract signed when they were young and foolish until lawsuits were settled in 1985. This track shows how The Turtles were influenced by Zappa’s psychedelic sense of the bizarre. For a band, that was primarily a pop act not very far removed from what became ‘bubblegum music’, this is truly revolutionary.
7. Doug And The Slugs: Thunder Makes The Noise (Doug Bennett)
Cognac And Bologna: Ritdong / RCA KKL1-0375

Prakash John – Bass
Pentti "Whitey" Glan – Drums
Produced by Bob Ezrin 1975
Recorded at Soundstage, Toronto; Plant East, Electric Lady and A&R Studios, New YorkA friend arranged an audition for the band with record producer Frank Zappa, who was looking to sign acts to his new record label, Straight Records. For the audition Zappa told them to come to his house "at 7 o'clock." The band mistakenly assumed he meant 7 o'clock in the morning. Being woken up by a band willing to play psychedelic rock at seven in the morning impressed Zappa enough for him to sign them to a three-album deal. Another Zappa-signed act, the all-female GTOs, convinced the band to "dress up like full size Barbie dolls," which played a major role in developing the band's early onstage look.
In 1969, after recording their first album ‘Pretties For You’, Alice Cooper played Toronto’s Varsity Stadium at The Toronto Rock n’ Roll Revival. Ripping a pillow apart and throwing a chicken into the crowd, the band were criticized for tearing the bird apart. The next day the incident made the front page of national newspapers, and Zappa phoned Cooper and asked if the story, which reported that he had bitten off the chicken's head and drunk its blood on stage, was true. Cooper denied the rumor, whereupon Zappa told him, "Well, whatever you do, don't tell anyone you didn't do it.
10. Chimo: Hour Glass (Tony Collacot / Jack Mowray / Breen la Boeuf)
Chimo!: Revolver Records LSP 4470
Toronto ON

Andy Cree: drums
Breen LaBoeuf: vocal
Produced by Mort Ross 1970
Recorded by Mark Smith at RCA’s Toronto Studios. November 1970Chimo! (Inuit for 'hello' and “goodbye”). Its roots can be traced back to Parry Sound band The Georgian IV who formed in 1964. David Clayton-Thomas Bossmen guitarist Jack Mowbray joined the Georgian IV and they changed their name to The Georgian People. Bossman pianist Tony Callacott joined
shortly thereafter.After the release of their only album, they began to lose members. Original drummer Pat Little went on to become a respected session drummer and a member of such Canadian acts as the Modern Rock Quartet, Fludd and Diamondback; LeBoeuf would move on to a brief reformation of Motherlode, then Southcote, and finally, Offenbach; Mowbray formed a lounge act with his wife until retired from the industry; Stewart McCann left the music business and is now a University Professor of Psychology.

Ken Pine, guitar
Charles Larkey, bass
Bob Mason, drums
Produced by Ed Sanders 1968
Recorded by Richard Alderson at Impact Sound, NYCA force to be reckoned with on their own, The Fugs, lead by beat poets Tuli Kupferburg and Ed Saunders, rivaled The Mothers with their on-stage antics. Both acts used lewd lyrics and music to get their satirical messages across although somewhat differently. Whereas Zappa was a significant 20th Century composer, The Fugs were not very inclined musically at all. For them it was lyrics. Music simply augmented their words.
