From cover:
"The Mothers Today :
Frank Zappa: Guitar, piano, lead vocals, weirdness & editing.
Billy Mundi: Drums, vocal, yak & black lace underwear.
Bunk Gardner: All woodwinds, mumbled weirdness.
Roy Estrada: Electric bass, vocals, asthma.
Don Preston: Retired
Jimmy Carl Black: Indian of the group, drums, trumpet, vocals.
Ian Underwood: Piano, woodwinds, wholesome.
Euclid James Motorhead Sherwood: Road manager, soprano & baritone saxophone, all purpose weirdness & teen appeal (we need it desperately).
Suzy Creamcheese: Telephone
Dick Barber: Snorks

Also :
Gary Kellgren: Engineer for two months of basic sessions at Mayfair studios is the one doing all the creepy whispering.
Dick Kunc, record & remix engineer for the final month of recording at Apostolic Studios is the one responsible for the cheerful interruptions.
Eric Clapton (noted phoilosopher & guitarist with The Cream) has graciously consented to speak to you in several critical area. (Courtesy Atco Records)
Spider (from a group that hasn't destroyed your minds yet...) is the one who wants you to turn your radio around.

Note :
All the music heard on this album was composed, arranged & scientifically mutilated by Frank Zappa (with the exception of a little bit of surf music). None of the sounds are generated electronically... they are all the product of electronically altering the sounds of normal instruments. The orchestral segments were conducted by Sid Sharpe under the supervision of the composer."

"The present day composer refuses to die!" Edgard Varese, July 1921
