Originally released in 1969, this compilation was prepared in order to recoup money which Verve felt it lost funding the Mothers of Invention albums "Freak Out!", "Absolutely Free" and "We're Only In It For The Money".
Although Zappa himself prepared the masters, remixed and sequenced the tracks and oversaw the packaging, he subsequently disowned the album due to Verve scheduling the release shortly before the release of "Uncle Meat" on Zappa's new label Bizarre.
"Mothermania" contains unique mixes or edits done specifically for this compilation.
