The album includes the Edinboro recordings from the Mothers' 10th anniversary tour, which fans have been longing for an official release; the Erie recordings from 1974, which were fraught with audience troubles; and the Erie recordings from 1976, which included the short-lived Lady Bianca band. Freak Out! This 6-CD set is a must-have for fans of the band, featuring a medley of their early works, including songs from "Freak Out!" and popular repertoire such as "Dinah Mo Hum," "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow," "Black Napkins," and "The Torcher Never Stops," all arranged as they would have been in that era.
