~ Release by Frank Zappa (see all versions of this release, 13 available)
Annotation
This release can be differentiated from the very similar-looking 1995 Rykodisc release by looking for the following message in the liner-notes (though, reportedly, a few 1998 releases were sold with the old 1995 liner-notes):
The original album was released in September 1981
It was digitally remastered for CD in 1998
at UMRK by Spencer Chrislu
FZ approved master, 1993
