Edited 2 years agoThe 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. -
salve, sono alla ricerca della cover LP di qualunque nazione se qualcuno la vende può contattarmi? grazie -
Edited 5 years agoHis 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 !
