Tracks 1-17 live at the County Coliseum, El Paso, May 23, 1975. FZ, Denny Walley, Captain Beefheart, Tom Fowler, Terry Bozzio, Napoleon Murphy Brock, George Duke, Bruce Fowler.
Tracks 11-12 are oldies sung by Jimmy Carl Black, originally recorded by The Falcons and Earl King, respectively. "Those Lonely, Lonely Nights" was covered later by Johnny "Guitar" Watson. It was written by Earl King or his manager, John Vincent, depending on which credit you believe. Tracks 18-29 are bonus tracks.
Track 18 is the unedited version of the track that's on Bongo Fury, clocking in at around 8 minutes instead of 04:31. What has been cut out on Bongo Fury is 39 seconds just before the guitar solo (a slide solo by Denny Walley), 2 minutes and 43 seconds just after the guitar solo (effectively a piano solo and one verse), and 2 seconds of the fade-out. It also appears on Chronicle and on An Evening with ... Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart.
Track 19 is recorded live in a studio in 1975, with Zappa strumming chords and Beefheart singing (barely audible).
Track 20 is a longer edit of the Lost Episodes version - some 22 seconds longer.
Tracks 21-24 were previously thought to be live at the Music Hall, Boston, April 27, 1975 (early show);
Tracks 25-29 live in William Patterson College, Wayne, NJ, November 11, 1973 (early show), with Irma Coffee on guest vocals.

the MOFO project/object (4 Disc) (2006)






El CD 1 es, al igual que en el pequeño MOFO, la mezcla original del vinilo de Freak Out!.

El CD 2 son sobre todo tomas de voz y pistas básicas de buena parte de las canciones del disco. Muy interesante hasta ahora. Todavía no he llegado a los otros dos CDs, pero por lo que pone en las notas,

El CD 3 está principalmente dedicado a las sesión con los freaks el último día de grabación, y termina con un fragmento del concierto en el Fillmore en junio de 1966.

El CD 4 son remezclas de 1970y 1987 de algunas de las canciones del disco y cosas así, mezcladas con fragmentos de entrevistas varias.Vamos, un auténtico documental, repleto de material a estudiar detenidamente. De momento, es fascinante poder escuchar las canciones sin los añadidos, para poder apreciar la instrumentación original con detalle.
