Quite an experience! This German pressing does it again: a good separation of the instruments and a broad soundstage from which the Zappaesque sound effects benefit immensely. The drums and bass guitar are a bit muffled (which is the case with a lot of older Zappa records) but furthermore this is a very good pressing.
