FRIEK OUT(sic) by the Mothers of Invention,
Verve Records, V-V6-500502.

A new "singing group", the Mothers of Invention, have recently released their first album, entitled"Friek Out."sic
They needn't have bothered. With voices that should put an alley cat on a fence at midnight to shame, these "mothers" have wasted two records and an album cover of indescribibly (sic) poor taste recording 80 minutes of pure trash.
If the recording, which fits its title beautifully, has a hidden message for its listeners (if anyone with any sense would even bother to listen), it certainly can't be found in such classic lines as "I don't care if don't brush you teeth." (sic) Which incidentlly (sic) comes from a jazzy little entitled "Wowie Zowie." The cover explains that this song is "to suck the 12-year-old-listener into our camp." The 12-year-old-listener would be better off playing in the streets.
One entire side of the album is devoted to a series of noises that sound like a herd of half-slaughtered cattle under the classic title, "The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet."
This horror is obviously a satire of today's longmopped singing groups, but is has failed. It is in a class by itself -- if it can be classified.
