    Any Byrds fans here? This sounds remarkably like what The Byrds were doing around this time on their 5th Dimension album at the height of psychedelia.This sounds like Eight Miles High mixed with I See You with the vocals removed. I would guess that all the LA bands from that time and scene influenced each other alot. I haven't heard this in years but it's cool hearing it again.

      @mattjohn4731 Clarence was a genius but the drummer Gene Parsons was a mechanical genius and created that B bender guitar he plays. Love that song Wasn't Born To Follow, which was written by Carol King and Jerry Goffin off the Notorious album!

    This is the instrumental mid section of Call Any Vegetable. The reason this song and Duke of Prunes (which precedes it) are listed as three separate titles each are probably that in those days you would be payed less royalties if your albums had less than six songs on each side. The musicians involved are Bunk Gardner, soprano saxophone; Don Preston, organ (barely audible); Frank Zappa, electric guitar (double-tracked); Roy Estrada, bass guitar; Jim Black & Billy Mundi, drums; Jim Sherwood, tambourine.

    The wind instrument may have been a soprano sax. The unsettling effect of this tune probably has something to do with the tempo and how long it's sustained. And a pumpkin isn't really a vegetable...

      The difference between knowledge and wisdom:
      Knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit.
      Wisdom is knowing that you don't put it in fruit salad.
      Yes, pumpkin is a fruit 😉

    "Pumpkin" was Zappa's favourite pet name for his wife Gail. I always wondered if it was a melding of "pump" and "munchkin"...

    This track is a good illustration of why Frank eventually broke up the original Mothers. His guitar playing was always melodic, dynamic, with great phrasing, but the rhythm section in this band had little to offer, particularly Estrada on bass. Compare this to Frank’s later guitar jams, with cats like Tom Fowler, Patrick O’hearn or Scott Thunes on bass…they played off of Frank brilliantly, and drove the jams on. Frank was loyal to his friends in the original Mothers for a long time, but he outgrew them : )

    His music has been great for my mind. Expanding it. I don't like his sexist elements but on free speech and global affairs he was smart. And genius composer. Free speech legend actually. Beloved worldwide especially in the Czech republic

    As soon as I saw the song choice, I knew this was a Peter K pick. I have the t-shirt and LP of this album. I love the t-shirt, but not so much the album. This is a good one however. Kudos to Peter K!

    Primordial Zappa. Nothing stands out at all on this. Even the guitar is so ordinary, even by 1967 standards. A repetitive jam that goes nowhere really. Some bottom feeder fans see the title and think it profound 😆.
    It's interesting for me only to see how he evolved from this swamp.

      It's been suggested that the 'little pumpkin' was the infant Godo Paulekas son of Vito who ran the dance troupe that Pamela Zarubica (Suzie Creamcheese) was part of, Godo was set to play Lucifer in Kenneth Anger's Invocation of my Demon Brother before he died (or was killed) at the log Cabin, Anger went on to replace him in the film with Bobby Beausoleil.

      @@jasonnovac1542 I believe little Godo fell out of window or through skylight so his death is probably due to his trippy caretakers negligence. It's rumored Vito did give his toddler some acid out of benevolent stoned naivety.

      I think the “ordinary” guitar playing suffers from the utter lack of inspiration coming from his rhythm section. His licks/phrasing are pretty nice, by ‘67 standards, but the bass/drums are totally rigid, static 🤷‍♂️

      Primordial Fenwick. You were not listening to music in 1967 apparently. Nothing like this happened before Zappa. It begins with fast multiple time signatures, then it quotes modern composer Gustav Holst (Jupiter from The Planets) . The long guitar solo is brilliant for the time. To call people "bottom feeders" is so pretentious and offensive that I can't believe Dan and Sifa allow you to post here.
