Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 Martin C. Strong, 2004, The Great Rock Discography, p. 1721.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 According to the Zappa Patio, the only way to distinguish the 1995 (= 2001) and 1998 Ryko RCD 10519 is to listen to the discs.
  3. Email announcement by the ZFT on July 31st, 2012.
  4. Same gatefold sleeve as the 2014 US edition with same catalog number ZR 3851-1 and barcode 824302385111. The upper sticker mentions ZR3851C and the lower sticker ZR3851C ST04
  5. Twitter announcement by Newbury Comics on December 21st, 2017.
