Review

Q (1/93, p.106) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...his most satisfying release in over a decade..."
NME (Magazine) (11/7/92, p.36) - "...massively entertaining...best of all is the chance to hear Zappa and his Mothers jamming with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at New York's Fillmore East..."

Title Note

The Mothers Of Invention: Frank Zappa (guitar, vocals); Mark Volman, Howard Kaylan (vocals); George Duke (keyboards, vocals); Ian Underwood (keyboards, woodwinds); Jim Pons (bass, vocals); Aynsley Dunbar (drums).

PLAYGROUND PSYCHOTICS contains archival material from the early 1970's.

For an accurate representation of an early-'70s Zappa/Mothers tour, it doesn't get more real than PLAYGROUND PSYCHOTICS. The album contains live versions of songs taped at the Fillmore East in New York City, the Pauley Pavilion at U.C.L.A., and the Rainbow Theater in London, England. But PLAYGROUND PSYCHOTICS goes beyond just live music. Zappa taped a large amount of band member dialogue during their day-to-day travels from city to city, and an abundance of these conversations are included on PLAYGROUND PSYCHOTICS.

Although newcomers to Zappa's work may find the heavy use of dialogue and conversation a tad too indulgent (such as "The Mudshark Interview," "Here Comes the Gear, Lads," etc.) longtime fans will appreciate this candid glimpse into the world of Zappa & the Mothers. Points of interest for Zappa fanatics will be the long and winding thirty-minute composition "Billy The Mountain," as well as "Wonderful Wind," "Cruising for Burgers," and the Zappa classic "Sharleena." Although the YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON STAGE compilation series is the definitive live Zappa, PLAYGROUND PSYCHOTICS has its share of highlights.
