Frank Zappa - Utility Muffin Research Kitchen Rehearsal Tape Edits
Rehearsal tape recorded circa 1981
The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen (UMRK) was the name of the
recording studio that Frank Zappa had built and used extensively
at his home for many of his musical recordings.
The studio was completed on September 1, 1979 and the recording of
several songs that were eventually released on the album entitled
"You Are What You Is" began in July, 1980.
The first known mention of "Utility Muffin Research Kitchen" was in
1975 on the song entitled "Muffin Man" released on the album "Bongo Fury".
In the conclusion of Zappa's Joe's Garage, Joe, the protagonist gives in
to conformity and gets a job on the assembly line at the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen;
the narration describing his job there is identical to the opening narration from "Muffin Man".
