A two-track solo release by Frank Zappa recorded Feb. 1967 (his first solo work after producing Absolutely Free). The album was originally released on Capitol Records as an 8-track album. A lawsuit followed as Zappa had a signed contract with Verve Records (owned by MGM), although, the contract didn't say anything about Zappa conducting others, as he claimed with this album. The music is almost entirely a modern classical experiment of musique concrete inspired by the works of John Cage. This is the altered Verve Records version released as two tracks (virtually one long track) only divided by an A and B-side. Zappa has re-edited this version again later on, which has been released in 1984 on Zappa's own label, Barking Pumpkin.
