Just Another Band from L.A. is an album by The Mothers, released in 1972 (see 1972 in music). Another live album released during the Flo and Eddie days, Just Another Band from L.A. features an edited version of the mini-opera "Billy the Mountain." A full version was later released on Playground Psychotics in the early 1990s. Often overlooked by reviewers, this album marks an important period in the band's career due to the extensive use of the Turtles band, soon to be dissolved with Zappa's stage fall.
It was reissued in a digitally remastered version on CD by Ryko in 1990 and in 1995.
