The Mothers’ second album. Catchy melodies, social commentary, general goofiness, complex composition, and sharp musicianship all thrown in a blender and here's the result. Of its time and ahead of its time at the same time.
The original release included a promotion whereby listeners could send in money (\"at least $1\") and receive the complete lyrics to the album. Reissues can be distinguished by a disclaimer advising the reader unless it is \"A. D. 1967\" they should not sent money.
