Necessity Is: The Early Years Of Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention

The early Mothers of Invention were a band of anarchic, free-spirited, musically telepathic mavericks headed by the unparalleled genius of Frank Zappa.

Billy James recaptures those early years as remembered by those who were there. Featuring on such classics as Freak Out, Absolutely Free and We're Only In It For The Money, the band let rip over Zappa's satirical yet complex compositions. The book investigates the oddball humour that surrounded the Zappa entourage from 1964-1970.

Fully illustrated, the book presents a fitting tribute to a time when musical barriers were there to be broken.
