THE STORY BEHIND THE ICONIC "PIPCO" SHIRT FINALLY EXPLAINED.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Frank Zappa of THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION smoking a cigarette and signing autographs after a Mothers concert at Muhlenberg College, PA, c. April 1969. 📸: Peter Meza.

SHOT/PICO TEE OVERVIEW: "The headliners were THE TURTLES, who went on first. Nearly everyone left when the Mothers of Invention hit the stage. After the concert I took this photo and the few remaining teenaged hardcore Zappa fans (and their girlfriends) started clearing out. Frank was left sitting on the bleachers by himself. I tentatively approached him ("Hey Frank can I ask you a question?" "Sure, kid") about the cover of the "Lumpy Gravy" album and the PIPCO T-shirt. He said it was a Little League T-shirt and that Pipco pipe company of Santa Barbara, CA was the sponsor."

-- PETER MEZA (former student/photographer)

Got an angel and a devil on my shoulders: Beatles’ White Album and Uncle Meat by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. A random yen for two very different albums, yes. But—two great double albums from 1968/69, both famously made during the contentious dissolution of the bands, and both a wonderful mess because of it. My White Album is an early US pressing with Apple labels, in great shape but with some character. I’ve also got the 2014 mono, but this is my main listening copy. My Uncle Meat is the 2013 reissue, which sounds outstanding, but I still regret passing on a Bizarre original I coulda had for like $15… #thebeatles #frankzappa #mothersofinvention #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/ClbQ53Kuprt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Frank Zappa Caricature

[minstrel75itg]

The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll - 1983 Ed. Frank Zappa. One of rock’s most consistently controversial figures, composer/arranger/guitarist/bandleader #frankzappa has cultivated two seemingly opposed images. One is the serious composer who pioneered fusions of Jazz and classical with rock music and the outspoken and incisive satirist. The other is the smutty, sneering crowd pleaser whose hyperintricate music has been called by critics a gratuitous display of advanced technique. He was born in #baltimore in Dec. 1940 and formed the #mothersofinvention in L.A. in 1965. #rockandroll #musichistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfZC24lPzm/?igshid=rybb2fqzormb

Disclaimer: Frank Zappa is not in this book,

But Dr. Zak is!  Dr. Marie Zakrzewska introduced the idea of keeping hospital records on each patient, an idea that is taken for granted today. This book is jam packed with women and their inventions and reforms from prehistory to present day.

MOTHERS OF INVENTION Total Music Theatre. Amazing 1968 German original 33" x 47" full colour poster for their concert at Deutsches Museum Kongressaal in Munich on 29th October. There is some doubt as to whether the gig ever took place! This superb item has 'Mothers Of Invention' at the top in grey with FZ's name in the middle in green & consists of a selection of mediaeval style caricatures. The only other info on the poster is the text 'Total Music Theatre' on the top hat of one character, the name of the promoters & 'Design: Keiser'. Apart from a couple of small nicks to the edges, this example remains in a fantastic condition with little signs of age, and has been stored rolled for many years, having never been displayed.

Was vibing with the first version of Little House I Used to Live In on Burnt Weenie Sandwich last night, so tonight I pulled out the Fillmore 1971 version, which is a bright spot on a very uneven album. Maybe tomorrow I’ll make a clean sweep of it and listen to parts of 200 Motels. (I say “parts” because if you can listen to that whole album in one sitting, you’re more patient, dedicated, and/or strong than this girl!) #frankzappa #mothersofinvention #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CbwIpPXMX9I/?utm_medium=tumblr
