Wikipedia / The MOFO Project/Object

The MOFO Project/Object is a Frank Zappa album, released by the Zappa Family Trust in 2006, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Zappa's first album, Freak Out! It documents the making of the album, while also featuring previously unreleased material. It was sold as a "uniquely packaged" 4-CD set. It is project/object #1 in a series of 40th Anniversary FZ Audio Documentaries.

A more affordable 2-CD set, subtitled (fazedooh), was also released. CD2 tracks 2, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 16 are unique to this 2-CD-set release, as they do not appear on the 4-CD box set. All the other tracks are available on the 4-CD set.

The first CD of each of those sets includes the original 1966 vinyl mix of Freak Out!, with a shorter kazoo outro on "Who Are The Brain Police?"
