    Agreed. I find "Hot Rats" for example painful to listen to. The article does state this about remastering:

    "The Universal deal encompasses the entire Zappa catalogue, as it appeared on Frank Zappa’s own independent label, Barking Pumpkin Records, and many of the original analogue masters have been re-mastered."

    Now you'll be able to get all those "blistering" Jim Sherwood sax solos and that world famous doo-wop album "Absolutely Free" again.
