The MOFO Project/Object

The MOFO Project/Object is an album by Frank Zappa. The album was announced by the Zappa Family Trust in mid-2006. It commemorates the 40th anniversary of Zappa's first album, Freak Out!. It documents the making of Freak Out! featuring previously unreleased material. It was released as a uniquely packaged 4-CD set. It is project/object #1 in a series of 40th Anniversary FZ Audio Documentaries.

A more affordable 2-CD set, subtitled (fazedooh), was also released. CD2 tracks 2, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 16 are unique to this 2-CD set release (these seven tracks do not appear on the 4-CD box set). All the other tracks are available on the 4-CD set.

The first CD of each set includes the original 1966 vinyl mix of Freak Out!. This mix has a shorter kazoo outro on "Who Are The Brain Police?"
