Frank Zappa & The Mothers • 5 songs • 45 min

Just Another Band from L.A. is a live album by The Mothers, released in 1972. It was recorded live on August 7, 1971, in Pauley Pavilion on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles. Included on the album is "Billy the Mountain", Frank Zappa's long, narrative parody of rock operas. Originally planned for release as a double LP with solos from "Studebaker Hoch" and "The Subcutaneous Peril" taking up most of the second LP in addition to parts of "Billy the Mountain". The song "Eddie, Are You Kidding?" refers to Edward Nalbandian, while album outtake "The Subcutaneous Peril" later appeared in edited form on Finer Moments. The album was reissued on CD with badly flawed mastering and no composition credits by Rykodisc in 1990 and repackaged with the same audio but with the composition credits restored in 1995. In 2012 Universal/UMe issued a properly remastered edition on CD.
