This is a re-issue (Ajoblanco (White Garlic): "Ideas that burned the seventies"), published in 2004 of the first six numbers of Ajoblanco magazine, which was published between 1974-1980 and had a second stage between 1987-1999.

In the issue of Ajoblanco No 2, December 1974 there is one article page about FZ & Mothers by Fernando Mir and it is related with Zappa's first arrival to Barcelona that was hilarious and includes some great comments of FZ at the press conference. For example an interesting news about his show in Badalona where he let photographs and TV film the first theme of the concert.
