Notes
- For details on censorship, see Phase 315 of WOIIFTM censorship by Harry de Swart.
- According to the Zappa Patio, the MFSL UDCD 764 Gold CD was made from the Ryko tapes but has a different equalization.
- "All [MFSL] releases are made from the first generation master tape and mastered at half-speed, allowing for an improved sound quality" — Wikipedia, MFSL article.
- Enhanced dynamic range and frequency response.
- Depending on the source, released June 1968 (Martin C. Strong, 2004, The Great Rock Discography, p. 1720) or October 1968 (Zappa Patio).
- Martin C. Strong, 2004, The Great Rock Discography, p. 1720.
