The gatefold jacket restores Zappa's original album design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNick Venet, an A\u0026amp;R man at Capitol, commissioned the album after the Mothers of Invention's debut, Freak Out! Zappa's contract with Verve and MGM kept him from playing on another label's records, so he wrote the music and conducted a hired orchestra of Los Angeles session players he named the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra. Guitarist Tommy Tedesco, percussionist Emil Richards and drummer Shelly Manne were among them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMGM threatened to sue, and Zappa recut the material into the Lumpy Gravy that Verve released in 1968, splicing in spoken-word passages, surf music and musique concrète. Capitol had issued the orchestral edit briefly on cartridge in 1967 before withdrawing it, and it did not appear officially again until the posthumous collection Lumpy Money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSink Trap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGum Joy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp \u0026amp; Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocal Butcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGypsy Airs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunchy Punchy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoamy Soaky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Eat Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeen-Age Grand Finale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix Frank Zappa titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/frank-zappa-hot-rats\"\u003eHot Rats\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/frank-zappa-waka-jawaka\"\u003eWaka\/Jawaka\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/frank-zappa-the-grand-wazoo\"\u003eThe Grand Wazoo\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/frank-zappa-orchestral-favorites-40th-anniversary\"\u003eOrchestral Favorites\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/frank-zappa-roxy-elsewhere-vinyl?variant=67500917096606\"\u003eRoxy \u0026amp; Elsewhere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824302123171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zappa Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.21.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zappa Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500915261598,"sku":"EVP-FF4F763E-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/0824302123171.jpg?v=1791878588","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/frank-zappa-lumpy-gravy-primordial-burgundy-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
