THE MOTHERS at the time of this recording were: FRANK ZAPPA - guitar, low grade vocals, percussion RAY COLLINS - swell vocals JIMMY CARL BLACK - drums, droll humor, poverty ROY ESTRADA - electric bass, chesseburgers, Pachuco falsetto DON (Dom De Wild) PRESTON - electric piano, tarot cards, brown rice BILLY (The Oozer) MUNDI - drums on some pieces before he quit to join RHINOCEROS BUNK (Sweetpants) GARDNER - piccolo, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax, tenor sax, bassoon (all of these electric and/or non-electric depending) IAN UNDERWOOD - electric organ, piano, harpsichord, celeste, flute, clarinet, alto sax, baritone sax, special assistance, copyist, industrial relations & teen appeal ARTIE (With the Green Mustache) TRIPP - drums, timpani, vibes, marimba, xylophone, wood blocks, bells, small chimes, cheerful outlook & specific enquiries EUCLID JAMES (Motorhead/Motorishi) SHERWOOD - pop star, frenetic tenor sax stylings, tambourine, choreography, obstinance & equipment setter-upper when he's not hustling local groupies The music on this album was recorded over a period of about 5 months from October 1967 to February 1968. Things that sound like a full orchestra were carefully assembled, track by track through a procedure known as over-dubbing. The weird middle section of DOG BREATH (after the line , "Ready to attack") has forty tracks built into it. Things that sound like trumpets are actually clarinets played through an electric device made by Maestro with a setting labeled Oboe D'Amore and sped up a minor third with a V.S.O. (variable speed oscillator). Other peculiar sounds were made on a Kalamazoo electric organ. The only equipment at our disposal for the modification of these primary sounds was a pair of Pultec Filters, two Lan Equalizers, and three Melchor Compressors built into the board at Apostolic Studios in New York. The board itself is exceptionally quiet and efficient (the only thing that allowed us to pile up so many tracks) and is the product of Mr Lou Lindauer's imagination & workmanship. The material was recorded on a prototype Scully 12 track machine at 30 ips. The whole project was engineered by Richard Kunc or Dynamite Dick, as he is known to the trade. Special engineering credits go to Jerry Hansen for the percussion effects added later at Sunset Sound in L.A., and to our friend Mike in Copenhagen for the tapes he sent us. Special thanks to: Ruth Komanoff who plays marimba and vibes with Artie on many of the tracks, and Nelcy Walker the soprano voice with Ray & Roy on Dog Breath & The Uncle Meat Variations __________________________________________________ Uncredited: Pamela Zarubica as Suzy Creamcheese
