Album Review

This is a seven-LP box set that contains Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's first five albums -- Freak Out!, Absolutely Free, We're Only In It For The Money, Lumpy Gravy, and Cruising With Ruben & The Jets -- originally released between 1966 and 1968, plus a "Mystery Disc" of previously unreleased material from the era and earlier. Note that Money and Ruben have rerecorded rhythm tracks.
