Disc 1, Tracks 1-9 Lumpy Gravy (Primordial) C & P 2008 ZFT FZ's Original Orchestral Edit for Capitol Records.

Disc 1, Tracks 10-28: We're Only In It For The Money C & P 1968 ZFT 1968 Original Mono Mix. This is NOT a fold-down mix from stereo to Mono.

All 3:01 of it is here. This promo disc was serviced to radio station program directors. Lucky them. Source: 1630 Digital Master Disc 2, Tracks 3-21: We're Only In It For The Money C 1968 P 1986 ZFT 1984 UMRK Remix, originally released on CD, 1986 Source: 3324 Digital Master Disc 3 All FZ recordings were transferred from original 2-Track analog tapes except tracks 4 through 6 & 13.

Source: ¼" stereo mixdown. 3-2 Recorded 21 February 1969 at The New School, NYC, during FZ Lecture/Q&A. 3-3 Lumpy Gravy Building Block by FZ. 3-4 to 3-6 Recorded for Lumpy Gravy 14 March 1967 at Capitol. Mixed from the original 4-Tracks by Joe Travers, UMRK, 2008. 3-7 Interview excerpt, 22 October 1971, KBEY- FM, Kansas City. 3-8 In Lumpy Gravy, this piece is VSO-controlled by FZ. 3-9 Lumpy Gravy Building Block by FZ. 3-10 Note: In Lumpy Gravy this piece is VSO-controlled by FZ.

Mixed by Joe Travers at UMRK 2008. 3-14 Interview, Mixed Media, Detroit, 13 November 1967. 3-15 to 3-18 Recorded during the "Money" sessions, Mayfair, 6 September 1967. 3-19 Mayfair Studios 1967, Vocal Overdub session snippet as-is. 3-21 Interview with David Silver, Boston, 1969. 3-22 Recorded at Mayfair 3-23 to 3-26 Recorded during the Money sessions, Mayfair Studios 1967. 3-27 to 3-28 Released prior to the album in November, 1967. Curiously, FZ considered this thoroughly discrete construct (yes, that's right, this is a collage) potentially commercial. *Lumpy Money does not provide any musician credits beyond Frank Zappa, but the original album releases (Lumpy Gravy and We're Only In It For The Money) provide a complete listing.
