Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Martin C. Strong, 2004, The Great Rock Discography, p. 1720.
- ↑ Email announcement by the ZFT on July 31st, 2012.
- ↑ Same gatefold sleeve as the 2016 US edition with same catalog number ZR 3841-1 and barcode 824302384114. The lower sticker mentions ZR3841C ST03
- ↑ The first batch was cancelled: around January 17th, 2018, Frank Zappa Forum members reported to have received an email saying 'We wanted to inform you that in quality checking these pressings, the Hot Rats LP has unfortunately been determined to be defective. Therefore, we are canceling this title from your order. (...) When the pressing of Hot Rats is confirmed in the future, we will once again make these available for purchase via newburycomics.com. We will notify you with early access to offer you the chance to purchase at that time.' The second non-defective batch was shipped sometime in Q1 2018.
