The **** of the Mothers is an out-of-print compilation album of early works by The Mothers of Invention, an American rock band.[1] The album features a gatefold featuring some of the contemporary band members such as Ian Underwood, Art Tripp, and Motorhead Sherwood. This was the first of numerous repackaged "Best Of" LPs put out by MGM that were not authorized by Frank Zappa; Mothermania is the only one that Zappa worked on and approved.[2]
