Lumpy Gravy
A curiously inconsistent piece which started out as a ballet but probably didn't make it.
Vertical text on front:
Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra & Chorus with maybe even some of the mothers of invention
In the text balloon on the back cover Frank Zappa says : "Is this phase 2 of: We're only in it for the money?"
