ZAPPA & THE MOTHERS LOOKING FOR NEW CONVERTS IN THE PAGES OF MARVEL COMICS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a record ad for THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION then newly-released third studio album, "We're Only in it for the Money" (released March 1968 on Verve Records), from the pages of "Daredevil" Vol. 1 #38. March, 1968. Marvel Comics.

Cover art by Gene Colan (✝), story/script by Stan "The Man" Lee (✝). Resolution for "Daredevil" cover at 1102x1599.

OVERVIEW: "In March 1968, the Mothers of Invention unleashed their third mind-bending cultural intervention, known to all and sundry as "We’re Only in it for the Money." In a curious move, Verve Records, no doubt directed by Zappa himself, apparently selected the pre-teen comic book audience to be one of the target demographics to promote the album to. Specifically, "Daredevil" Vol. 1 #38, which came out the same month as the album, and featured a remarkable full-page ad promoting the record.

The ad was about as psychedelic as the rest of 1968, touting the Mothers’ first two albums, "Freak Out!" and "Absolutely Free," and promising “thrilling free fun!”

I’m sure the "Daredevil" demographic just couldn’t wait to check out a concept album dedicated to skewering hippies. In Verve’s defense, the album was part of Zappa’s “No Commercial Potential” project. Then again maybe Frank was fully aware that much of his audience were horny, pimply-faced adolescent boys. Maybe it was a good ad buy after all."

-- DANGEROUS MINDS, "Groovy 1968 Frank Zappa Advertisement from MARVEL Comics’ "DAREDEVIL" #38"

BECAUSE IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, PEOPLE -- HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2023!!

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a fan-made promotional poster for "Freak Out!," the 1966 debut double album by Frank Zappa and THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION.

"These Mothers is crazy. You can tell by their clothes. One guy wears beads and they all smell bad. We were gonna get them for a dance after the basketball game but my best pal warned me you can never tell how many will show up … sometimes the guy in the fur coat doesn’t show up and sometimes he does show up only he brings a big bunch of crazy people with him and they dance all over the place. None of the kids at my school like these Mothers…specially since my teacher told us what the words to their songs meant.

Sincerely forever,

Suzy Creamcheese

Salt Lake City, Utah."

-- "FREAK OUT!" double LP liner notes, on Verve Records, c. 1966

Got an angel and a devil on my shoulders: Beatles’ White Album and Uncle Meat by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. A random yen for two very different albums, yes. But—two great double albums from 1968/69, both famously made during the contentious dissolution of the bands, and both a wonderful mess because of it. My White Album is an early US pressing with Apple labels, in great shape but with some character. I’ve also got the 2014 mono, but this is my main listening copy. My Uncle Meat is the 2013 reissue, which sounds outstanding, but I still regret passing on a Bizarre original I coulda had for like $15… #thebeatles #frankzappa #mothersofinvention #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/ClbQ53Kuprt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll - 1983 Ed. Frank Zappa. One of rock’s most consistently controversial figures, composer/arranger/guitarist/bandleader #frankzappa has cultivated two seemingly opposed images. One is the serious composer who pioneered fusions of Jazz and classical with rock music and the outspoken and incisive satirist. The other is the smutty, sneering crowd pleaser whose hyperintricate music has been called by critics a gratuitous display of advanced technique. He was born in #baltimore in Dec. 1940 and formed the #mothersofinvention in L.A. in 1965. #rockandroll #musichistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfZC24lPzm/?igshid=rybb2fqzormb
