We're Only in It for the Money

Released 1968Rock
Deep cut

A scabrous satire of 60s counterculture and Sgt. Pepper. Inventive and biting. A cult landmark. Released in 1968, it's an early landmark for Frank Zappa.

On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
