The Mothers - Just Another Band From L.A. (1972)

When Frank Zappa started to put together the live tapes that the Mothers Of Invention had recorded in 1971 for their proposed live release, he originally envisioned it as a vinyl double album, and acetates were even pressed and given to the band members, with a track listing of:
Side One:
Call Any Vegetable 
Eddie, Are You Kidding? 
Magdalena
Dog Breath
Side Two:
Billy The Mountain (Part 1)
     - Introduction
     - Phase I (The Royalties Arrive)
     - Phase II And Newscast
     - The Legendary Low Budget Hero
     - The Flies
Side Three:
Billy The Mountain (Part 2) 
     - Studebacher Hoch
     - The Conclusion
The Subcutaneous Peril 
Side Four:
An Easy Substitute For Eternity Itself
     - Don's Solo
     - Ian's Solo
     - Aynsley's Solo
     - Frank's Solo

For unknown reasons, plans for the double set were abandoned and the album was released in the single record format that we know today. Originally 'Billy The Mountain' was much longer, and was on two sides of the record, but in order to fit it onto one side of the single album version Zappa removed an 8'51 min section from the second half of the track, reducing it down to a more manageable 24 minutes. For this reconstruction I've located the missing section and I've slotted it back into the original recording, restoring it to the full 33 minutes take. Two of the other tracks that were originally earmarked for the record were collages that Zappa cut and pasted from the 'A Pound For A Brown On The Bus' and 'King Kong' solos from a 1971 concert at Carnegie Hall, and Zappa aficionado br1tag has re-composed the original sequences, including Don Preston's full solo which was abbreviated to fit onto a single side of the vinyl album. So for fans who love the original record and want hear more, here is the reconstructed double album version for your enjoyment.
