Absolutely Free (1967) is the second album by The Mothers of Invention, led by Frank Zappa. Absolutely Free is once again a display of complex musical composition and with political and social satire. The band had been augmented since Freak Out! by the additions of saxophone player Bunk Gardner, keyboardist Don Preston, guitarist Jim Fielder and drummer Billy Mundi. However, Fielder quit the group before the album was released. His name was removed from the album credits.

  • Absolutely Free (1967) is the second album by The Mothers of Invention, led by Frank Zappa. Absolutely Free is once again a display of complex musical composition and with political and social satire. The band had been augmented since Freak Out! by the additions of saxophone player Bunk Gardner, keyboardist Don Preston, guitarist Jim Fielder and drummer Billy Mundi. However, Fielder quit the group before the album was released. His name was removed from the album credits. For this album, the emphasis is on interconnected movements, as each side on the original vinyl LP composes a mini-suite. It also features one of the most famous songs of Zappa's early career, "Brown Shoes Don't Make It," a track which has been described as a "condensed two-hour musical". The CD reissue adds a single The Mothers released at the time between where side one would have ended and side two would have begun featuring the songs "Why Dontcha Do Me Right?" and "Big Leg Emma," both described as: "an attempt to make dumb music to appeal to dumb teenagers. " In the book Necessity Is... , former Mothers of Invention band member Ray Collins claimed that Absolutely Free is probably his favorite of the classic Mothers albums. The UK -67 release (Verve VLP/SVLP 9174) came in a laminated flip-back cover, with a Mike Raven poem at the reverse that was not apparent on any other issue. The title of "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" was inspired by an event covered by Time Magazine reporter Hugh Sidey in 1966. The reporter correctly guessed that something was up when the fastidiously dressed President Lyndon B. Johnson made the fashion faux pas of wearing brown shoes with a gray suit. LBJ flew to Vietnam for a surprise public relations visit later that day. This story appeared in the news again upon Sidey's death in 2005. In the songs "America Drinks and Goes Home" and "America Drinks" Zappa combines a silly tune with nightclub sound effects to parody his experiences playing with drunken bar bands during the early 1960s. Other songs recorded soon after that used the same kinds of ideas include "On With The Show" by The Rolling Stones (released in 1967), "My Friend" by Jimi Hendrix (recorded in 1968, released in 1971) and "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" by The Beatles (recorded in 1967 and 1969, released in 1970. ) "Plastic People" begins with a mock introduction of the President of the United States, who (along with his wife) can only recite the opening notes to "Louie, Louie". "Louie, Louie" is often interpolated in Zappa's compositions (other examples appear in the Uncle Meat and Yellow Shark albums, among others), and when Zappa first began performing "Plastic People" ca. 1965, the words were set to the tune of "Louie, Louie. " In 2007, the Lagunitas Brewing Company put out an India Pale Ale named Kill Ugly Radio, featuring the inside art from the album on the label. This one in a series of beers planned to be released on the 40th anniversary of each of Zappa's studio albums.

  • 1967. május 26-án jelent meg Frank Zappa és a The Mothers of Invention második albuma, az Absolutely Free. A bonyolult hangszereléssel, a politikai és társadalmi szatírával a Freak Out! hagyományait folytatták. Az előző albumhoz hasonlóan szinte minden zenei stílus megtalálható, legyen az virtuóz módon vagy parodisztikusan előadva. A Mothers of Inventionben két új zenész is helyet kapott: Bunk Gardner szaxofonos és Don Preston billentyűs. Ezúttal nagyobb hangsúlyt fektettek az összefüggő tételekre, az eredeti bakelit mindkét oldalán egy-egy mini-szvit volt. Az albumon hallható Zappa korai pályájának egyik legsikeresebb szerzeménye, a "Brown Shoes Don't Make It", amit így írtak le: „egy egész musical nyolc percbe sűrítve”. A CD-kiadáson az első és második rész között található a Mothers egyik kislemeze. A "Big Leg Emma" és a "Why Don'tcha Do Me Right?" tudatos próbálkozás volt, hogy idióta tizenéveseknek tetsző idióta dalokat írjanak. Ray Collins Necessity Is… című könyvében azt írta, hogy a klasszikus Mothers-albumok közül az Absolutely Free a kedvence.

  • Absolutely Free é o segundo disco do The Mothers of Invention, grupo liderado por Frank Zappa. Seguindo o debut da banda, Freak Out!, Absolutely Free novamente apresenta músicas de composição complexa com sátiras políticas e sociais. Esse segundo disco traz novos integrantes para a banda: O saxofonista Bunk Gardner e o tecladista Don Preston. Este disco se foca mais nos momentos interconectados, sendo que cada lado da versão em vinil era uma mini-suíte. Também apresenta uma das músicas mais famosas desse perído inicial da carreira de Zappa, Brown Shoes Don't Make It, uma faixa que certa vez foi descrita como "um musical inteiro compresso em 8 minutos. " A versão em CD incorpora um single lançado pela banda na época, colocado entre os lados A e B, contendo as músicas Why Dontcha Do Me Right? e Big Leg Emma, ambos descritos como tentativas idiotas de fazer música idiota para adolescentes idiotas. No seu livro Necessity Is... , o ex-membro Ray Collins diz que Absolutely Free é provavelmente seu disco favorito da formação clássica do Mothers.
  • «Absolutely Free» — второй альбом Фрэнка Заппы и группы The Mothers of Invention 1967 года. Также, как и предыдущий альбом «Freak Out!» (1966), «Absolutely Free» насыщен сложно построенными музыкальными композициями и политической и социальной сатирой. Альбом поднялся до 41 места в чартах «Pop Albums» журнала Billboard. Когда альбом вышел впервые, то на каждой из двух сторон пластинки размещался набор песен, составляющий мини-сюиту. В переиздании на компакт-диске между ними был вставлены два бонус-трека с сингла, выпущенного в 1967 году с песнями «Why Dontcha Do Me Right?» и «Big Leg Emma».
  • Absolutely Free är Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Inventions andra album och det släpptes 26 maj 1967. Musikaliskt sett fortsätter albumet i samma riktning som föregångaren Freak Out! med galna korsningar av olika musikgenrer och underfundiga, samhällskritiska texter. Absolutely Free är dock ett mer svårtillgängligt album med mer ljudcollage och udda rytmer. Man kan också tydligare höra Zappas avantgardeinfluenser på detta album.
