Notes

The label, matrix, and cover are identical to the 2018 reissue and this is also Abbey Road half-speed mastering. The hype stickers does not mention 180g vinyl and this is indeed standard 140g vinyl.
This was released with different hype stickers. The earlier hype sticker reads, "Half-speed mastered and cut at Abbey Road Studios" while a later hype sticker does not.

    Mr Bongo does it again. Quieter of playback than the coloured ones ive got but that might just be me and mine. The sound is quite superb. This label has not disappointed me once!!

        Great pressing, a bit of crackling on the run-in for Side B but no other flaws. The mastering is fantastic.

          This an excellent edition of an excellent album. You can hear Zappa, all kinds of psychedelia and funk in it. Not to mention every shade of Brazilian rhythm and jazz. A masterpiece, and very short too!

            I can confirm in my runout as well it's 1/2 speed mastered...
            Sounds really good on my fancy system.

                  I’m more than happy with my copy. It sounds great, the quite parts are quiet and vice versa. Such an amazing album.
