1970 ORIGINAL "BIZARRE" COLLECTIBLE
The Mothers Of Invention
Burnt Weeny Sandwich
\ USA - aqua BIZARRE Records - RS 6370
CLEAN Original 1970 first pressing in nifty gatefold cover, finds the MOTHERS at their most 'tightest' gushing and winding in complex jams that whirl swirls around arty progressive bands of the era...
Zappa disbanded the original Mothers of Invention in 1969, but still had enough unreleased material left over for 'Burnt Weeny Sandwich'. A nine-track collection of Zappa led works that capture the Mothers at arguably their tightest and most ambitious.
The album is bookended by two doo-wop-ish cover tunes, "WPLJ" and "Valarie." It wasn't often that Zappa would whip out a cover song, but these two fit extremely well within the framework of the previous homages The Mothers made to the early genre of rock.
The remainder of the album consists of abstract jams, ranging from the under-a-minute blow-out of "Igor's Boogie, Phase One" and "Igor's Boogie, Phase Two," to the impressively sprawling blues and jazz-tinged madness of the eighteen minute-plus "Little House I Used to Live In." In the end, it all basically blends into one big piece of music, and it's another Mothers album that is intimidating at first, but heavily rewarding once you realize what it entails and what you can expect.
"Holiday in Berlin, Full Blown" runs through complex arrangements for its first half, then turns into a distinctly-Zappa guitar solo towards the end. "Aybe Sea" is a sparse, piano-based number that ends up being one of the most beautiful songs The Mothers ever recorded. But, really, it's all about "Little House I Used to Live In." The song takes so many twists and turns that you can get lost in it. In a good way.

CONDITION: The gatefold cover is solid, front looks strong, closer to "EX" (excellent) but we'll call it VG++ overall as it does have small cover wear (not much at all, which is something, almost always found with back cover wear ... only seen a couple copies witout it) ...no seam psplits, no bends, no writing ...looks like a keeper
The vinyl is all glossy clean, both sides, M- clear....
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
