This is truly the album that made Zappa into (regrettably my many) a household name.  The Barking Pumpkin vinyl album is very poor quality--very muddled and boomy.  My cartridge actually skidded across the paper label because the end groves were too weak to keep it in check.  That has never happened on any record I have ever owned--until now.  But the artwork, oh the artwork. And the lyrics, and the vibe that comes with it all.  That is what you are buying the album for.  Seriously, do not play this record.  You will do much better on iTines or MOG.  But if you are a Z fan you have to have the cover.
