'''''The Lumpy Money Project/Object''''' is a [[compilation album]] by [[Frank Zappa]]. Released posthumously on January 23, 2009 as Official Release #85, it compiles the releases ''[[Lumpy Gravy]]'' and ''[[We're Only in It for the Money]]'' with previously unreleased material, with the overall package serving as an [[radio documentary|audio documentary]] of the production of the two albums, which share conceptual continuity themes. It is project/object #2 in a series of 40th Anniversary FZ Audio Documentaries, following ''[[The MOFO Project/Object|MOFO]]'' (2006).

== Content ==

The first disc consists of [[Lumpy Gravy (1967 album)|the 1967 version of ''Lumpy Gravy'']], released by [[Capitol Records]] on [[4-track cartridge]] to [[wholesalers]] and radio stations before [[MGM Records]], Zappa's label at the time, forced Capitol to halt distribution of their version of the album, and the 1968 mono mix of ''We're Only in It for the Money''. The second disc consists of two remixes prepared by Zappa in 1984, with overdubs by drummer [[Chad Wackerman]] and bassist [[Arthur Barrow]]. The ''Lumpy Gravy'' remix derives from the 1968 edit; this third version of the album had not been released in full; an excerpt appeared in a sampler for ''[[Old Masters (box set)|The Old Masters]]'' box set.<ref name=TrackNotes>{{cite AV media notes |title=Lumpy Money |title-link=Lumpy Money |others=Frank Zappa |year=2008|first=Gail |last=Zappa | chapter = track listing notes |publisher=Zappa Records }}</ref> The second remix, of ''We're Only in It for the Money'' had previously been released on [[compact disc]] in 1986.<ref name=TrackNotes/> The third disc consists of studio assembly material and interviews with Zappa discussing the albums, as well as the single version of "Lonely Little Girl".
