Ok, I dont get it... why there isnt 40th Uncle Meat anniversary? will there be one? I would like to hear and see orginal LP release on single CD, I think that's possible, watcha all think about diz one?

i dont see who wouldnt buy LP reissue without those 80's bonuses

I just don't think it makes much sense from a maketing standpoint to release the album with less material. Aren't those Ryko CDs pretty cheap now anyway?

While I don't care for the extras, I've always thought it was odd how many people are truly bothered by them. The skip button exists for a reason.

The UM CD mix sucks.

Yeah. Frank definitely went a little nuts with the digital reverb. I have no strong preference with the mix on "Mr. Green Genes" though.

well maybe some of us dont like to switch CD just to listen to King Kong

It's really not that difficult to burn a single CD containing the original Uncle Meat tracks without the bonus stuff.

why then to even buy orginal albums?

Nobody suggested that you don't buy original albums. All you have to do is:

1. Buy the Rykodisc Uncle Meat.
2. Burn the contents of Disc One and the King Kong portions of Disc Two to a single CD.
3. Problem solved.

If the ZFT is going to release a 40th Anniversary Uncle Meat (which I desperately hope they do) I hope there is more to it than just a single CD consisting of previously released material that I can create myself at home.

I think I'm streets ahead with my LP of Uncle Meat. The best sounding vinyl, fantastic artwork and the big booklet.
I've never even heard the CD version

I'm with people on this! Who wants to go through the agonizing task of pushing the Next button every time the Uncle Meat movie stuff comes up? Better to eliminate that 2-3 seconds of hell.

Yeah, I have two copies of the album on vinyl, and neither one has the booklet. However, one of them is a 1970s reissue that I bought still sealed a few years ago. Can't get much more pristine than that.

I wont pay for something that I dont appreciate

So you love absolutely every track on every other Zappa album and don't skip any? What's the difference?

and you dont!?

EDIT:
listen, I'm not here to argue, it's going in wrong direction...
I'm just sayin' that that double CD edition is pointless

and I dont buy "worthless" albums

_________________

So, even though the double CD contains all the music that would be contained on a single CD, the fact that there are some extra tracks on the double that you don't like makes it 'worthless' to you? But if someone else (like the ZFT) ripped the songs you like onto a single disc for you and sold it to you, it would then not be 'pointless'?

Wow.

So.. did you get the 2 disc or 4 disc Making Of Freak Out?

I don't want to argue either.

Let's just hope this doesn't go the way of the Roxy performances

just rip the fucking tracks and make your own. even tho it's its the shitty remix.

I don't know.....it seems that the 40th anniversary discs don't always come out exactly on the 40th anniversary. But maybe I'm not seeing it right?

I think if the other anniversary sets sell well,then this will show up. Did everyone buy Greasy Love Songs????? Maybe it selling will make this one show-up faster. Hmmmm....???

The ZFT needs to release a 40th of UNCLE MEAT!

It's the summation of "The Mothers of Invention" PERIOD.

It's DADA.
It's important .

We're coming to the beginning of a new era wherein the development of the inner self is the most important thing.
