the entire zappa catalogue gets reissued as it appeared on zappa's own independent label, barking pumpkin records and many of the original analog masters have been re-mastered. this live record was recorded with the flo and eddie incarnation of the ever-changing mothers line-up. the vocal duo, which had considerable chart success as the turtles, parodied their success as 'rock stars' here, and zappa utilized their soul and doo-wop-style vocals for maximum comedic effect. the set works as a comedy record as much as anything else. they perform their huge hit 'happy together,' but it's done as a goof. zappa and flo and eddie talk over the backbeat like standup comics.
