Notes

This is the definitive, 1995 Rykodisc re-release, which is a new digital master of the original 1968 Verve master tape (without the FZ sanctioned re-recorded bass and drums of the previous, deleted Rykodisc CD).

FZ approved digital master, made from original edited master and other raw mix segments (for better sonics), 1993.

All lyrics © 1968, 1995 The Zappa Family Trust d/b/a Frank Zappa Music (BMI).
All compositions controlled worldwide by The Zappa Family Trust d/b/a Frank Zappa Music (BMI).

This whole monstrosity was conceived & executed by Frank Zappa as the result of some unpleasant premonitions, August through October 1967.

Dick Kunc: record & re-mix engineer for the final month of recording at Apostolic Studios.
