The story of how Zappa and the Mothers got a contract is amazing. Basically a label guy walked into a gig as they played Trouble Every Day, their only song ever with conventional commercial potential, and signed them on the spot.

Once they got to the studio and started playing some tremendously weird stuff it was too late to stop them.
