Notes

Released in a standard fat double jewelcase with green tinted color with OBI-strip.
Note about the booklets:
There are supposed to be two booklets (one 28-page "libretto" and one 2-page tracklist and credits booklet), but it seems that some copies only has the first booklet and other copies only has the second one.
Some copies comes with a 10-page foldout Ryko's Frank Zappa catalog, detailed scans of it: Frank Zappa - Boulez Conducts Zappa: The Perfect Stranger
