The Mothers – Fillmore East - June 1971 (Vinyl LP, 1971, Bizarre Records / Reprise Records MS 2042 / MS-2042, Pitman Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Fillmore East - June 1971 captures Frank Zappa and the Mothers during the lineup featuring former Turtles vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, alongside Aynsley Dunbar, Ian Underwood, Don Preston, and Jim Pons. Recorded at New York’s Fillmore East, the album combines Zappa compositions, extended comic dialogue, improvisation, and a performance of the Turtles’ “Happy Together.” Zappa produced and arranged the album.

Collector Note
This 1971 US Bizarre/Reprise MS 2042 edition is a Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman pressing, identified by the small P stamped in the supplied runouts. The album was mixed and mastered at Whitney Recording Studios, with Toby Foster credited for both functions. The supplied matrices are the -1 cuts on both sides.
