Wow, thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard.

Brilliant ... I just ran out of discs too. Thanks!

I wonder if it's a coincidence that that's my favorite cut, by far.

I went looking for the old VHS copy of this I got years ago in a trade ... and, of course, I can't find it anywhere in the house. It's actually no big loss, as the quality of that copy was abysmal. Does anyone know if the film has ever circulated in high quality? I've seen references online to a 200...

Yeah, I tried too, no dice. Anybody?

They've been threatening reissues of the "big four" (Autobahn, Man Machine, Trans-Europe Express, Radio-Activity) for some time now, with release dates coming and going, but still no product. So all that is still OOP in the US. Yes, I seem to remember hearing a few of those "threats." But then, in ...

I am Kraftwerk-less, but I want to change that. I'm particularly interested in checking out Autobahn.

Does anyone have any info on the various CD issues? Are there any that should be avoided? (Is it even in print in the US currently?) Is vintage vinyl the way to go here?

Wow. Those guitars really do sound different. But yes ... "Hungry Freaks" is the only one of those three that is *obviously* a completely different remix. Even if the others are as well, they're much closer to the originals. I think I need to liberate my father's LP from his collection (he is *not* ...

I'd be curious to hear something.

Wow, MoFi actually has the Zappa Money listed on their site now as well. ("Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab is proud to release this ULTRADISC II™ 24K Gold CD featuring GAIN 2™ remastering from the original 1968 Verve / Bizarre mixes." I assume that means stereo mixes, and stereo only.) The MTM SACD is cer...

Funny...my dad has a ton of Verve jazz LPs, and I seem to remember most of them sounding quite good. This reminds me that I have black-label Verve LPs of Getz/Gilberto and a few Ella Fitzgerald titles, and they sound really fine. It's only the Zappa Verve titles I've heard (apart from the mono Mone...

You certainly did a fine job on that mono Money . I do enjoy hearing the LP directly on my turntable, but I don't think I'll play it often, given its value and the fact that I have this very nice CD-R of it now. I don't have a Freak Out! LP, but my father still has the copy he bought in '66, and I p...

As it happens I just bought a mono MTM LP last weekend. I played it last night, and I agree ... this isn't a case of night-and-day differences.

Sweet ... thanks. I forgot how much I liked this album. I was really into it as a kid, and I've suddenly been listening to it again lately.

Is it worth seeking out? Do any of the circulating CDs sound decent?
