Vinyl pressed in Germany, detailed and flawless, this LP is the highest quality ever available for UNCLE MEAT. I use a VPI Traveler TT with a Denon DL-110 cartridge and the music reproduction is superb. I used to think THE GRAND WAZOO was Zappa 's masterpiece. Then someone told me UNCLE MEAT was better. After listening for the third time I realized UNCLE MEAT really is FZ's masterpiece.
