1969 Blue and green label original housed in a gatefold jacket, edge wear. Includes the rare four foot by one foot two-sided poster. "Burnt Weeny Sandwich," released in 1970 by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, showcases the group's adept fusion of rock and avant-garde classical influences. This album, often considered a composite of studio and live recordings, highlights Zappa's intricate arrangements and his penchant for combining disparate musical elements into a cohesive whole. The record opens with Zappa's interpretation of two doo-wop gems, "WPLJ" and "Valarie," which are interspersed with intricate instrumental passages that highlight the band's technical prowess. The album’s centerpiece, "The Little House I Used to Live In," is an expansive instrumental suite that encapsulates Zappa's compositional genius, weaving complex time signatures and various stylistic shifts into a tapestry that demands attentive and repeated listening.
