    The quality of the recording, pressing and musicianship is very high. Winning on all fronts! One of Zappa's most masterful albums and a top pressing and package.

      Mine's signed by Frank, so adjusted for today's inflation that makes it worth about a trillion dollars (OBO).

        OMG I love this album listening to side 1 for the first time. I really get Zappa with this one. My favourite of Zappa so far....

          Sounds surprisingly good for the age of the pressing and condition that I bought this in. Nice round bottom end and instrument separation. Has the requisite skip in Inca Roads, but that apparently is a common defect of this pressing.

              His most accomplished work, IMO - the fusion of all he has done in one masterpiece, every element of his influences are here - classical, jazz, doo-wop, rock, and of course, humor !
