Absolutely – Close To You Mp3 Download
Absolutely Free is the second album by American rock band the Mothers of Invention, released on May 26, 1967, by Verve Records. Much like their 1966 debut Freak Out!, the album is a display of complex musical composition with political and social satire. The band had been augmented since Freak Out! by the addition of woodwinds player Bunk Gardner, keyboardist Don Preston, rhythm guitarist Jim Fielder, and drummer Billy Mundi; Fielder quit the group before the album was released, and his name was removed from the album credits.
== Overview ==
The album’s emphasis is on interconnected movements, as each side of the original vinyl LP comprises a mini-suite. It also features one of the most famous songs of frontman Frank Zappa’s early career, “Brown Shoes Don’t Make It”, a track which has been described as a “condensed two-hour musical”.In the book Necessity Is…, former Mothers of Invention band member Ray Collins said that Absolutely Free is probably his favorite of the classic Mothers albums.
== Reissues ==
The CD reissue adds, between sides one and two, two songs that were featured on a rare Verve single of the time. The songs from the single, “Why Dontcha Do Me Right?” (titled “Why Don’t You Do Me Right” on the 45) and “Big Leg Emma”, were both described as “an attempt to make dumb music to appeal to dumb teenagers”.The UK-67 release (Verve VLP/SVLP 9174) came in a laminated flip-back cover, with a Mike Raven poem at the reverse that was not on any other issue.
== Music ==
“Plastic People” begins with a mock introduction of the President of the United States, who (along with his wife) can only recite the opening notes to “Louie, Louie”. “Louie, Louie” is often interpolated in Zappa’s compositions (other examples appear in the Uncle Meat and Yellow Shark albums, among others), and when Zappa first began performing “Plastic People” around 1965, the words were set to the tune of “Louie, Louie”.
