Edited one year ago
My version has two Side 4s and no Side 2. Anyone else run into this?

Other than that this is a great pressing.

On my original first US pressing in Mint are incredible informations and its the 2nd time when i get illuminated by sound&vision. Music is the language of gods and frank zappa is still alive.
