Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

This is the scarce : UNCENSORED FIRST VERSION with un-banded tracks ...
ORIGINAL 1967 first pressing of the 3rd MOTHERS OF INVENTION LP, the freaky psych one with all the groovy little cool tunes loaded with trippy sound effects ...an American phenomenon!
STEREO 1967 original un-remixed (uncensored) tracks = very hard to find and sought after...
We're Only In It For The Money is the grand finale of the satire-heavy Mothers' era. Frank used everything he learned about writing great melody and using a lot of freaky production techniques and sound exploration and combined them into this tour de force. Zappa's messages were never stronger, and his freakiness was never more abundant than in this album.
This album was the single answer to "Why are hippies stupid?" Zappa touched more and more styles of music in this album. Let's Make The Water Turn Black sounds like a children's ditty when the show ends, and Nasal Retentive Calliope Music touches surf music at the end and is a tribute to the dissonance of Edgard Varese (along with The Chrome Plated Megaphone Of Destiny), both being severely interesting and freaky. A lot of the songs are short, freaked up dialogue pieces, sometimes in the middle of one of the actual songs on the album! Most of it again inside stories that only Frank and the Mothers know about, unless you've read up somewhere the story behind them.
There are no guitar solos on the album, as the album concentrates once again on message and stories combined with freaky dissonance and actual played instruments, with effects layered all over he place. So, this album is more of a mixture of Freak Out! and Lumpy Gravy, sacrificing the groove and improvisation of the Absolutely Free album which can be a bad thing, but here arguably a better thing. A lot of Frank's freak-out effects can definitely be intriguing.
All told it's an accessible album with stronger melody and more interesting playing, in fact, We're Only In It For The Money is a masterpiece because the structure is extremely solid with what Frank wanted to do, and it ended up probably THE most different and original album of it's time, with plenty of great songs, including the worded version of Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
Are You Hung Up? (1:24) Who Needs The Peace Corps? (2:34) Concentration Moon (2:22) Mom & Dad (2:16) Bow Tie Daddy (0:33) Harry, You're A Beast (1:21) What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body? (1:03) Absolutley Free (3:24) Flower Punk (3:03) Hot Poop (0:23) Nasal Retentive Calliope Music (2:02) Let's Make The Water Turn Black (2:01) The Idiot Bastard Son (3:18) Lonely Little Girl (1:09) Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance(1:32) What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body? (Reprise) (1:02) Mother People (2:26) The Chrome Plated Megaphone Of Destiny (6:25)
