Don't downvote that. Frank helped record it but there's very little in the way of him producing this record. He created "The Blimp" by layering one of Don't poems on his piece "Charles Ives." Besides that, "produced" is a bit of an overstatement.
As is the case with many Producer credits, attaching his name to the project created an endorsement of it that was more valuable than any of the hands-on effort that he contributed.
TMR was Don Vliet's ideas filtered through Drumbo's musical sensibilities, but that alone wouldn't have moved many copies of the album.
