Born Don Glen Vliet, also called Don Van Vliet, became friends with Zappa in his teens and they would compete and collaborate all through his life. Today considered a genious with influence on psychedelia, punk, new wave, experimental and alternative rock he had a cult following during his life time, but never big commercial success. Took his stage persona in the mid-sixties and got first contract with US Buddha Records to record this album. It was originally mixed in mono only and the early stereo issues comes through as "electronically re-chanalled". Reissued in UK -69 on Marble Arch as 10 track budget mono (MAL 1117)and on Buddah as 12 track stereo (623171). (PÖY*)
