Mothermania: The Best Of The Mothers [LP]

Released in 1969, Mothermania is a compilation album curated by Frank Zappa, featuring selections from the Mothers of Invention's early work. Unlike other compilations, Zappa personally oversaw the remixing and sequencing of tracks, resulting in unique versions of songs like "The Idiot Bastard Son" and an uncensored "Mother People." The album serves as an accessible introduction to the band's avant-garde and satirical style.
