Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention released their iconic double album in 1969, originally conceived under the intriguing title "No Commercial Potential." This innovative project led to three other interconnected albums: "We're Only In It For the Money," "Lumpy Gravy," and "Cruising With Ruben & The Jets." It was intended as a vibrant soundtrack to a science fiction film that ultimately didn’t get completed due to funding challenges. However, Zappa did share a film with test footage from the project in 1987. The album cover features the playful title Uncle Meat (Most of the Music From the Mother's Movie of the Same Name Which We Haven't Got Enough Money To Finish Yet). With a rich blend of jazz, orchestral, blues, and rock influences, Uncle Meat has earned praise for its groundbreaking recording and editing techniques, including exciting experiments with tape speed and overdubbing, resulting in a wonderfully diverse sound.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.

Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.

If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
