I had the 1969 vinyl Japanese release of that album - so rare most Zappa-heads don't even know it existed! (not a boot-leg.)
It was the only record I dubbed to tape so I could listen to for about 8 months while my ship was at sea.
(later traded it for a new Canon F-1 camera...)

the sad thing about zappa cd releaseswas that he remixed a lot of the old stuff and even dubbed new stuff on some of it

After 10-15 years of only having reel-to-reel tape or LP vinyl Zappa (no cassettes)I was sort of happy that he did eventually release CDs in any form! There were some obvious problems with the early discs but eventually it was all worked out. I don't have every version of every FZ release, but I do have a lot of 'em. I think my musical memory adjusts when I listen to different versions...
For being such twisted and bizarre music, it has sort of been the soundtrack for much of my life.
Made me what I am today, I guess.

MTV was not the arbiter of stylein my circles. I did like that Art of Noise "Close to the Edit" and I have seen many shows by The Residents ( early MTV fodder when they had nothing else to show,) but for the most part MTV was just background noise.
