This album cover is a boring compromise. Rock's first mental & visual parody not access be displayed. The album is the music editing diploma.

Really hated this at first but after a while I started to get it. I like Freak Out! more than this one though.

Ahh this was my introduction into Frank Zappa. Not my favorite album of his, but this will always have a special little place in my collection.
