"A collection of recordings from around 1970, ‘Weasels Ripped My Flesh’ is one of Zappa's strangest albums (set off perfectly by Neon Park's cover painting) & perhaps that is why it's so appealing.

Frank's jazz leanings are blatant in “The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue” & there are many nebular gems to be found on this album, including the hilarious “My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama” which son Dweezil covered many years later. Rzzzzz…a must have! "

The second collection in a row of archival Mothers material, a mix of live and studio recordings (following BURNT WEENY SANDWICH), originally released in 1970. Said Rolling Stone, “…finds the group peerless in the field of amalgamating satire, musical adventuresomeness and flash. This could be because they're the only ones attempting it, but no matter.”

Perhaps the most diverse Mothers album of its time, WEASELS ranges from the avant excursion “Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque” to the relatively tuneful “Orange County Lumber Truck,” from the onstage hijinks on “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask” to the social satire, a la WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY, heard on “Oh No”. “My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama” would sum up rock'n'roll brattiness for years to come; some kid named Dweezil Zappa even recorded it in the '80s. And there's a Little Richard cover (“Directly From My Heart to You”) in the middle of all this? Sure.
