Thanks so much!
FZ is the best.
Why did you use the Ryko remaster over the superior vinyl edition of Hot Rats?

Doctor B said...

Because I had the CD version on hand but not the vinyl. I do wish FZ hadn't tried to embellish the reissue mix, but the differences between the two versions aren't a deal-breaker for me.

OTOH, I'm glad I latched onto an original pressing of Reuben & The Jets in the late 70's since the reissue mix to me is downright *wrong*!
