I'd rather have clarity than the overall effect of hearing every instrument....if that makes sense.

I have always prefferred music without vocals, because I am mainly attached to melody, harmony and rhythm.
As well, I do not particularly enjoy the sound of human voice or poetry, and do prefer instruments which are softer to my ears.
When listening to a song by FZ, as a non-native English speaker, the meaning of the lyrics is naturally not the first thing that comes to mind.
Actually I bought my first Zappa record because I was looking for a performance by Pierre Boulez, and I was not disappointed :wink:
Despite all this, and although I know that many fans hate the vocals on Sleep Dirt... I like them.

Regarding the other topic in this thread, I do not care about 5.1 and stereo sound. Mono is really fine with me.
The people who created the Compact Disc standard (Red Book) should have allowed storing twice much music in mono, pushing the maximum playing time to 159.6 minutes on a regular CD player.
But who cares? The Compact Disc became a thing of the past, even faster than vinyl :smoke:
Whatever, technology is not wisdom...

Hahaha... Isaac. What a moron. :mrgreen:

I am very interested in buying the new remaster without the vocals. It sounds way better that way.

(Sorry for bumping an old thread, but it's so amusing!)

EDIT: "...way better that way." :P

Insulting me is pointless, whatever you seem to get satisfaction out of it.
It took you more than one year to find and exhume my post ... but, in the meantime, you still did not learn your own language :roll:
Once again, if you are not some kind of reptile incapable of learning and forming sentences, please do not answer or quote me.
Do yourself a favor and open a grammar book ... even if I know you will not.

It sorta bothered me that the beginning of The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution is chopped off on Lather.  Anyone know why that is?


Frank shortened that track for the Läther album, including the full version of the track would stretch the LP side out to 28 minutes, and FZ always wanted the best sound quality on his albums, no matter what format they existed in. You cannot put more than 25 minutes on an LP without affecting the sound quality: longer LP sides have smaller grooves.

This is the reason why "Didja Get Any Onya?" was extended for the CD release of Weasels Ripped My Flesh: he couldn't fit the entire 6-minute recording on the record, because it would stretch out the LP sides. Same thing with "The Gumbo Variations" on Hot Rats.

The only reason Frank could include the full version of "The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution" on the Sleep Dirt vinyl is because he only had two other tracks on side two: a two minute track and a three minute track. The entire side two of that album was about 20 minutes long because he only had three cuts on it and two were short.

On side 7 of the Läther album, he had a 7 minute track, a 5 minute track and the 8 minute version of "The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution," and it fit perfectly. Had Frank lived to see the CD release of Läther, he probably would have included the full version of that song on the CD.

HE NEVER SAID THAT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Hi Bonny....:)

WTF are you laughing about? What he says is perfectly sensible. Of course FZ made short LP sides because he wanted the best sound quality. A record like SUNPYG could have been fitted on a double album, but the sound would have suffered. You guys (Galoot Co-Log-Nuh and jaypfunk) are the most tenacious boneheads I've encountered on the internet. Bumping threads about a guy who was banned years ago and still wilfully misinterpreting him. Geez, get a life.
