Frank Zappa's Comments on The Mothers of Invention's album Absolutely Free
Miles, International Times, 31 August 1967
When Zappa arrived in London in the summer of 1967, he naturally looked to the underground press for support, just as he did in Los Angeles where the LA Free Press often ran double page spreads designed by Zappa. At his request, we [I speak as an editor of IT] gave him free reign to publish what he wanted. He commented on each of the almum tracks.
