The album’s title and cover came from a 1956 Man’s Life magazine which Zappa had shown to [[Neon Park]][[Image:Manslife.jpg|right|thumb|Man's Life 1956]]. who recalled:[[Image:Weaselsad.jpg|left|thumb|Shaver Advert]]<blockquote>The cover story was *Weasels Ripped My Flesh* and it was the adventure of a guy, naked to the waist, who was in water. The water was swarming with weasels, and they were all kind of climbing on him and biting him. So Frank said, "This is it. What can you do that's worse than this?"</blockquote>

Liner Notes

Background Information

After Zappa broke up The Mothers in the autumn of 1969, he mentioned a twelve-record set tentatively titled The History And Collected Improvisations Of The Mothers Of Invention. What emerged instead were Burnt Weeny Sandwich and, in the summer of 1970, Weasels Ripped My Flesh. Both were amalgams of material extracted from various 1968 and ‘69 shows and studio tapes.

The album’s title and cover came from a 1956 Man’s Life magazine which Zappa had shown to Neon Park.

The Second track "Directly from my heart to you" is credited to R.W. Penniman, which is the real name of Little Richard.

German "Doll" Cover

Frank Zappa on first seeing the German cover:

"This ... actually, in terms of graphics it's not bad. The thing I resent most about this album cover is that it's not the way I wanted it to come out. I wanted it to look like that one. That one is ugly enough. I don't need this one.
