Frank Zappa - We're Only In It For The Money

Five monumental Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention albums

Reissued on 180-gram vinyl, first time on LP in decades!

Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums No. 297/500

The Zappa Family Trust and Universal Music Enterprises 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. These are some of Zappa and his cohort's most challenging, exhilarating and groundbreaking work.

In the top 300 of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums, We're Only In It for the Money is a scathing satire of right-versus-left politics that's as fresh in today's charged political atmosphere as it was upon release in 1968. In part a parody of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the album pits the hippies against the squares, skewering them equally, as pawns held sway by corporate sellouts catering to the masses in the name of profit. The restored original 1968 mix is pressed on 180-gram vinyl from FZ's approved digital master.
