This three-disc set and its companion volume THREESOME NO. 2 distill Frank Zappa's enormous catalog to some of its most essential titles. Nicely packaged in a slipcase, the three albums which appear in their entirety are FREAK OUT!, ABSOLUTELY FREE, and WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY. Released during 1966-1968, this trio effectively toppled the applecart of current conventions, sending pointed barbs out in the then-expected direction of "the establishment," but, more importantly, also exposing the hypocrisies and smoke-and-mirrors of the counterculture/hippie realm. Heard throughout these albums are strains of doo-wop, L.A. soul, post-bop jazz grooves, 20th Century classical experimentation, and rock & roll ditties. Zappa was a synthesizer of varied musical forms (making it little surprise that he devoted much of his later time to using actual synthesizers for all or part of his compositional and performance processes).
