On the other hand, in the Weasels Ripped My Flesh booklet you can read that "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask" and "The Orange County Lumber Track" were recorded at the Festival Hall in London, the same location as all of Ahead of Their Time.
The Weasels Ripped My Flesh version has a cut-end in the middle of Zappa's guitar solo, while the Ahead of Their Time version goes ahead until 10:40 fading in a "King Kong" reprise.
More complex is the case of the Weasels Ripped My Flesh track "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask" (03:48) which is a collage of different materials.

 The Mothers of Invention - Weasels Ripped My Flesh
"Weasels" is a grand example of the latter.
A consummate example of this is the group's version of Little Richard's "Directly From My Heart To You." The song is rendered against a hard-edged blues back-up that manages to integrate into its midst a swinging Forties-style jazz violin.
Together with some relatively straightforward instrumentals and "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama," the album's two finest strokes -- a metal remake of Little Richard's "Directly from My Heart to You" and "Oh No," a devastating reply to "All You Need Is Love" -- would make for a highly enjoyable film.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Weasels Ripped My Flesh
If Burnt Weeny Sandwich was the first warning shot from Frank Zappa that he had full artistic control of his music, then Weasels Ripped My Flesh, his second album to be released with the Mothers Of Invention in 1970, was the full-scale war.
Interestingly enough, my take on it ranges from almost unlistenable to halfway decent, depending on my mood at the time.
The group's cover of Little Richard's "Directly From My Heart To You" is an absolutely amazing performance, including a violin solo from Don "Sugarcane" Harris that sounds like he's playing one of Zappa's leads on the fiddle.

The rest of the material of the song (in my opinion from three to five different segments) is not present on Ahead of Their Time.
This is a Dutch and German double issue of the Burnt Weeny Sandwich and Weasels Ripped My Flesh albums, housed in a fold-out cover (by a "Patrick von Spreckelsen") depicting a pistol shooting toothpaste.
Weasels Ripped My Flesh is still my favorite title for a Zappa album and has the BEST album cover art (in my opinion).

 Ground and Sky review - Frank Zappa - Weasels Ripped My Flesh
The album kept finding its way into my CD player though, and it wasn't long until I was really enjoying it.
I credit this as being one of the albums that really helped open my ears to what music can be, beyond the usual top 40 fare.
"My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama" is probably the most conventional rock song on the disc - it has even been covered by other bands.

Weasels Ripped My Flesh by The Mothers Of Invention
"Directly from My Heart to You," the only piece on the album not written by Zappa (it was written by R.W. Penniman – aka "Little Richard"), is, in my opinion, one of the top ten Zappa tracks of all time and, by itself, worth the price of the album.
"Directly from My Heart toYou" is one of the songs I've transferred to my "Favorite Songs" CD's that I listen to in my car during long trips, so I must have heard it now at least forty times in my life.

No, no se trata del documental de un safari africano, así es como abre “Weasels ripped my flesh”.
En el caso de “Weasels ripped my flesh” esta convivencia se hace doblemente desafiante: las piezas son complejas –malabarísticas muchas veces-, pero siempre musicalizando con naturalidad el “teatro del absurdo” que Zappa se afanaba en desplegar en cada una de sus presentaciones.
Y así como estampaba esta firma la deshacía, con la alevosía del niño prodigio que es conciente de sus dotes; y por tanto, busca en la mirada de sus espectadores asombro y escándalo.

This is an interesting little connection to Weasels Ripped My Flesh, the next posthumous Mothers album, as "Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue" appears as a nod to that brass and wind player.
The A-side was "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama," the first studio version (from Criteria Studios in Miami); the second will appear on Weasels.
"My Guitar...," also played during the concert, is used as a vehicle for a long, blistering solo and some great organ and horn punctuation.

Along with cover hypes for stories about cheating wives and killer sharks is the text that goes with the cover art: "Weasels Ripped My Flesh." Always wondered where Frank Zappa got that line.

By that time the musos had had enough, and everybody was drifting into the banqueting-hall for the lunch that the PR people had laid on to ensure their investments got good press.

Some hapless goons stumble into the nest of a mad doctor/scientist/whatever, and one is subjected to weasel blood infusion, I guess, after which he becomes a ramping were-weasel.
I guess some of this was worth a laugh, but the sound quality is horrible and the music cuts in and out, and overall if they were going to put this on a DVD they should have at least cleaned some of it up.

The Mothers are pushing the envelope in all sorts of directions, stretching it past ready comprehension in some cases (“Dwarf Nebula Processional March and Dwarf Nebula,” “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask”).
If I lump Weasels in with Rats and Weeny, it’s with a caveat: listening to Weasels Ripped My Flesh is like having your brain poked with a stick.
So what you’re left with is a few classic songs wrapped in standoffishly strange instrumental sections, some quasi-orchestral and some unrepentantly cacophonous.
