Five Monumental Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention Albums To Be Reissued On Vinyl Nov. 21, 2016 -- Following this month's release of three new Frank Zappa albums, the Zappa Family Trust and UMe are continuing their extensive reissue campaign by releasing five iconic works of the musical innovator on vinyl for the first time in decades: - 'Cruising With Ruben & The Jets’, ‘Joe's Garage, Lumpy Gravy,’ ‘Weasels Ripped My Flesh’ and ‘We're Only In It For The Money.’ The albums spanning Zappa's incredibly fertile late '60s-late '70s period will be pressed on 180-gram vinyl and available December 9. All albums are available for pre-order now. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Zappa's first release, the Mothers of Invention's debut album Freak Out!, and to celebrate the Zappa Family Trust and UMe are steadily reissuing the cultural icon's catalog and rarities from his famed vault on CD, LP and digitally as part of a long-term licensing agreement. The five vinyl releases follow new albums Meat Light (The Uncle Meat Project/Object Audio Documentary) Little Dots and Chicago '78, released earlier this month, and several other exciting projects. The 50th anniversary of Zappa's first single "How Could I Be Such A Fool" is also being celebrated with a limited edition pink vinyl 7-inch for Record Store Day's Black Friday on November 25. The flipside will feature "Help I'm A Rock (3rd Movement: It Can't Happen Here)." - The five albums represent some of Zappa and his cohorts' most challenging, exhilarating and groundbreaking work. Taken together the albums are a master's class in subversive wit, creative genius and uncompromising artistry that flies in the face of convention.
