{"product_id":"4988031872147","title":"Frank Zappa Zappa '66 Vol.1: Live at TTG Studio (SHM-CD) Japan Music CD","description":"Product Description\nContents: [SHM-CD only for the Japanese edition] An unreleased performance by the members of the Mothers of Invention in October 1966 for a documentary program that explored the realities of youth culture at the time! \"The Mothers were a one-of-a-kind group at the time, and 25-year-old Frank Zappa, who hadn't even been signed as an artist for a year, was making a huge impact on the world. Looking back, it seems that the whole process was meticulously calculated and shrewdly planned.\" - Joe Travers (Zappa family tape warehouse manager) In October 1966, the members of Zappa's Mothers performed a stage for a documentary program at TTG Studios in Los Angeles, where they recorded their first album, \"Freak Out!\", released that same year. The performance, which featured prominent freaks (eccentrics) from the area such as Vito Polekas and Carl Franzoni, captured the reality of the \"freak scene\" at the time. The Mothers at the time consisted of Zappa (guitar\/vocals), Ray Collins (vocals\/tambourine), Del Cashier (guitar), Don Preston (keyboards\/percussion), Roy Estrada (bass), Jimmy Carl Black (drums\/percussion), and Billy Mundy (drums\/percussion). This album is significant not only because it features recordings from shortly after Mundy and Preston joined the band, but also because it is the only recording in which studio musician Cashier participated. In addition to improvisational performances that show elements of \"raga rock,\" which developed from Indian music, this package includes the song \"Move On,\" which can only be heard here, \"The Electric Banana,\" which later developed into \"Absolutely Free\" on the 1968 album \"We Are Only in It for the Money,\" and \"I Could Be a Slave,\" which was one of the early Mothers' repertoire. The entire package features thrilling performances that are incredibly engaging to listen to. An English booklet with liner notes by Joe Travers (Zappa's tape archive manager) is included. \u003cjapan edition only\u003e Complete translation of English liner notes \/ Lyrics and translations included SHM-CD specifications Media reviews etc. An unreleased performance by the members of the Mothers of Invention in October 1966 for a documentary program that explored the realities of youth culture at the time!
