    While the story doesn't totally sell me on its allegory, it's nevertheless fine Zappa music, which classics like Joe's Garage, Catholic Girls, and Why Does It Hurt When I Pee being stand-out tracks. This Canadian version sounds great! Nicely mastered. This was one of the earlier Zappa records I bought. (Funny enough, I had Vols 2&3 before this one!) so it has definite nostalgic qualities for me. This for me is Zappa's last enjoyable concept album.
