Weasels Ripped My Flesh: Vinyl LP

Weasels Ripped My Flesh is the last album of recordings made by the original Mothers of Invention lineup released after it was disbanded by Zappa. The group, which included a horn section, made the blend of studio and live experimental and traditional tracks from 1967-69. Weasels Ripped My Flesh, released in 1970, provides a fascinating look at the groups range and diversity of influences, from avant-garde tracks like Didja Get Any Onya to the straight-up R&B of their cover of Little Richards Directly From My Heart to You. In an interesting historical footnote, Lowell George makes an appearance here with the band previous to forming Little Feat with bass player Roy Estrada.
