Masked Turnip Cyclophony
Label: Let Them Eat Vinyl
Released: 2015
This LPs compile a bunch of songs and tunes that Frank Zappa was involved with in various ways before he became known as the leader of the Mothers Of Invention. For several years prior to the Mothers becoming MGM-Verve recording artists, Frank was associated with the Pal Recording Studio, whose owner and operator was Paul Buff. It was here, in Cucamonga, under Buff's tutelage, that Frank learned how to use a studio to create music, as opposed to simply writing dots on paper. Frank later bought the studio from Buff and renamed it Studio Z, but all of the contents of this LPs were recorded before that happened.

The Moe's Vacation picture LP has the same track list as Project-Object. It's a colour picture LP, with a picture of a smiling Zappa from the You Are What You Is photo session. It says "Printed in Mexico" and "Promotional copy not for sale". It was pressed on poor-quality vinyl, which gets scratchy.
