Always a Zappa fan, but this is too much for me. Though I tried several times to grasp it as an entity and find some kind of meaning all I get is a hodgepodge of sound bites surrounding a few good songs, most of it with mediocre audio. Seen the movie once and perceived that about the same way - a few great scenes drowning in an incomprehensible mess. With so much fame and skill involved I guess there's an explanatory background or a logic hidden somewhere, but I can't mobilize enough interest to care. Two things makes it attractive. The brilliant "Magic Fingers" - melodic prog rocker with Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan in top shape - and the package containing poster and a fourteen page booklet with fetching pics from in and around the movie. A requisite part of any Zappa collection, but a lot more fun to look at than listen to. Premiere US on UA (UAS-9956). First UK had label as shown here, matt stickered fold/out cover, booklet and large poster. (ZÄP*) (ZÖNT*)
