We Are The Mothers And This Is What We Sound Like!

Label Bizarre (Fake)
NTB (Nifty, Tough & Bitchen Records)
Number DMO-30284
Year 1985
Comments This is a compilation of early material put together by Zappa, but it was never released. There is a test pressing (Columbia 6477).
The bootleg first came out in 1979 as Necessity Is... and originated from a cassette dub of an acetate which a member of the Mothers had sold to the Mud Shark bootlegger because of money problems!
The last track was added by the bootlegger.
This edition was put out by NTB (Nifty, Tough & Bitchen Records), who used the Bizarre logo.
