Funky Nothingness is the "lost album" sequel to the iconic Hot Rats (1969). Primarily recorded at The Record Plant studio in 1970, it contains mostly unreleased compositions and jams featuring Don "Sugarcane" Harris and newcomer Aynsley Dunbar. Titled by Zappa himself, this compilation contains vintage FZ mixes with modern mixes by Craig Parker Adams. The 2 LP set is mastered by John Polito with lacquers cut by Chris Bellman on 180-gram black vinyl.
